National Parks Research Paper
Another assignment we did is the National Parks Research Paper. First, we had to choose the National Park that we wanted to do research on. I chose Isle Royale National Park. Then we started reading articles online and in books and we took notes and put them onto our Noodle Tools account. When we were ready to type our paper, we typed it on Google Docs.

Isle Royale National Park
Have you ever been to Isle Royale National Park? Well if you haven’t, This article will tell you lots about the National Park. Isle Royale is one of the most isolated national parks in the lower 48 states. Isle Royale doesn’t have just one island, it has many!! The National Park has one island itself and then 400 other smaller islands in its vicinity. The park has a large animal population. This wondrous island is about 9 miles wide and 45 miles long. That's a pretty big island!
The location of Isle Royale National Park is amazing! The National Park is found in Lake Superior, the biggest lake in Michigan. Since Isle Royale is an island, you can only get there by a boat or seaplane. The climate of Isle Royale is Humid Continental. That means that the weather is mostly Humid. The vegetation of the National Park is Mixed Forest. That means that the trees in the forest, are Deciduous and Coniferous.
This National Park is very different from the others because it does not have any roads to drive on. It is all trails! You will travel the trails by bike or by walking. All you can probably see while walking or biking is the trees! Outside of the trees is water! The water is Lake Superior (if you didn’t know). Also if you look out to the northwest you can see a number of islands in the harbor. When you are traveling along the trails it is not unusual to see wildlife. While you are walking or biking, you will see trees, water, and different kinds of animals. Most of the trails run through the forest canopy of Birch, Fir, and Spruce.
This National Park has a lot of animals and plant life. Some animals that live in Isle Royale is the badger, wolf, moose, beaver, red fox, squirrel, rabbits, fish, and different kinds if birds. Most of these animals just run free like the wolf, moose, beaver etc. It is not unusual to see animals on the trails, and campgrounds. If they are visiting the campgrounds they might attempt to capture food from the tourists or campers.There are lots of plants on the island as well as all the animals on the island. there are over 30 kinds of Orchids in the National Park!
