Click on one of the Hot Links below to view the
virtual field trips or to see past "Montana Earth
Science Pictures of the Week". Crown Butte
is an interesting plutonic formation that will
help students understand how volcanism and
erosion helped shape the land in central
Montana (see photo at bottom of this page).
Mann Gulch is
the site of a 1949 wildfire that killed several
smokejumpers. It is the topic of Norman
Maclean's book called Young Men and
Fire. *Some of the virtual field trips include worksheets that you can download and print out. Links to the worksheets will appear near the top of the field trip web pages.

The kit includes materials to build and display models of Mt. St. Helens "before and after" its eruption, as well as a model of Crown Butte (shown above).
