\nObtain and combine information about ways individual communities\u00a0use science ideas to protect the Earth\u2019s resources and environment.\nTask<\/strong>
\nDescribe how the CCC used science ideas to protect resources while designing and building structures at the identified sites.\n
\nAnalyze the structures built by the CCC at each site (or a chosen or assigned site): Petit Jean State Park (1923), Mount Nebo State Park (1928), Crowley\u2019s Ridge State Park (1933), Devil\u2019s Den State Park (1933), Lake Catherine State Park (1935), and Buffalo River State Park (1938).\n
\nDescribe the physiographic regions of Arkansas and how they were formed through geoscience processes.\n
\nDivide class into 6 groups. Each student or student group randomly selects one of the six (6) CCC sites.\n
