Research Task - National Parks

Your class has won an all expense paid field trip to a National Park. You have narrowed the choices down to three parks:

The Grand Canyon National Park

Yellowstone National Park

Yosemite National Park

Your task is to persuade your class to vote for the park your team thinks would be the most interesting park to visit. You should give details of the sights, wildlife, and activities available at the park. You may include pictures and other information from your research. You will use PowerPoint to make your presentation and try to convince your class that they should go to the park you propose.

Your PowerPoint presentation must include at least one chart showing data you have collected on the weather, the number of visitors, or the miles of hiking trails. You must include an explanation of what the data means and why you have included it.
