Elementary students can learn about the importance of America's forests while gaining an understanding of how fire can threaten and destroy this valuable resource. First, click the For Educators tab on the top menu to find several activities in PDF format for Elementary and Middle School students - puzzles, puppets, and printable coloring book pages. The bottom menu has plenty of student activities from which to choose. Next, use the search box to visit the "Only You" section to learn about the science of forest fires, discover how some are actually beneficial, and find out how to prevent disastrous wildfires.
