Crossing America Goes to Redwood National and State Parks
Students join Ranger friends to explore the towering redwoods and the ecosystems they support.
We investigate how old-growth forests provide habitat, store carbon, and protect biodiversity. We learn why these forests are resilient, what threatens them, and how people are working to ensure they survive for future generations.
Engineering Design Challenge: Students design and build a structure that can support the height and weight of a model “redwood tree.” The challenge is to create stability so the structure does not topple under pressure, simulating how roots and ecosystems keep these giants standing tall.
