    GETTING TO KNOW THE WATERS OF YELLOWSTONE 
    Produced through a partnership with the Division of Interpretation, Yellowstone National Park and the Parks as Classrooms of the National Park Foundation, 1995, 38 pages. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (an area of nearly 18 million acres, with 2.2 million-acre Yellowstone National Park at its core) is dramatically shaped and characterized by water. Places like Old Faithful, the travertine terraces at Mammoth, or the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, are in some basic way, water phenomena. Illustrated with fun graphics, informative maps, and diagrams, the activities of Getting to Know the Waters of Yellowstone introduce learners to the wonder of Yellowstone's waters. With the roll of a die, simulate water cycling through the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Build a minigeyser. Identify the water journey of a glacial erratic boulder or a cutthroat trout. The waters of Yellowstone have a great many stories to tell! Cost $9.95.
