The Mammoth Mystery
Grade Level 2-4
Go to http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/kids/#. This is an interactive website in which students help an archaeologist discover and analyze the remains of mammoth skeletons found in Wisconsin. The site includes audio and text so students at many levels can use it. Students have an opportunity to follow the process of a real archaeologist which is something they might not have an opportunity to do in real life.
Wisconsin City Travel Pamphlet
Grade Level 3-5
www.ideas.wisconsin.edu
Develop students' knowledge of Wisconsin cities. Each student will choose one city to research and explore and then present the information in a brochure/pamphlet, using a multimedia format. Format choices include, but are not limited to-power point demo, HyperStudio, clipart, photo gallery. This would be a great way to learn about places from all over the state and develop researching skills.
Advertise with Geography...It's Easy and Free
Grade Level 3-6
http://www.iupui.edu/~geni/lsort/advertis.html
By reinforcing knowledge of regions within the United States, students will establish awareness of how landforms/landmarks produce a visual image of a region and to demonstrate how advertisers use the "positive geographical image" to sell their product. Since we cover regions in fourth grade also, this would make a nice cumulative activity to assess student understanding of various US regions.
