Thank you for visiting Students Explorations at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument's Outdoor Laboratory. Student Explorations consists of five primary sections that match the five areas of science practiced in the Outdoor Laboratory of the Monument: Archaeology, Ecology, Geology, Human History, and Paleontology. Each of these sections contain courseware modules on a specific topic.

Below you will find all of the resources you need to teach these modules in your classroom - whether your students will be working through the content online or with the print version.
