Old Faithful erupts, and a teacher may be watching with two sets of eyes. One takes in the force of the geyser and the landscape around it, while the other starts thinking about geothermal systems, underground heat, and the questions students would ask if they were standing in the same place.

That educator’s perspective sits at the center of the 2027 Yellowstone Teacher Preview from Appleseed Expeditions. Scheduled for June 21–24, 2027, the free four-day experience gives teachers a firsthand look at Yellowstone and the Grand Teton region through geology, wildlife ecology, conservation, scientific inquiry, and reflection.

Seeing Yellowstone Through an Educator’s Eyes

An itinerary can show where a group will stop and what subjects may come into play. Being there gives a teacher the chance to notice how quickly one observation leads to another question and how several academic subjects can meet within the same landscape.
