Explore & Grow: Yellowstone Bear World Turn your visit into a rich learning adventure! This print-and-go packet guides students through real-world observation and reflection at Yellowstone Bear World, then extends the learning with cross-curricular writing and science tasks. Kids will count and sketch bears they see, compare black bears and grizzlies, build a simple food chain, and consider conservation, human impact, and even cultural symbolism. It’s perfect for before, during, or after your field trip—and just as useful in the classroom.

What’s inside (highlights)

• Bear count/field sketches and descriptive adjectives

• Black bear vs. grizzly comparison writing

• Food chain drawing & habitat needs check
