This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that is based on the Inca, Mayan & Aztec civilizations which is studied in the 5th grade curriculum under the following standards:

• 5.1 The first humans in the Western Hemisphere modified their physical environment as well as adapted to their environment. Their interactions with their environment led to various innovations and to the development of unique cultures.
• 5.1a Various forms of scientific evidence suggest that humans came to North America approximately 25,000 to 14,000 years ago and spread southward to South America.
• 5.1b Human populations that settled along rivers, in rainforests, along oceans, in deserts, on plains, in mountains, and in cold climates adapted to and made use of the resources and environment around them in developing distinct ways of life.
• 5.1c Early peoples living together in settlements developed shared cultures with customs, beliefs, values, and languages that give identity to the group. These early peoples also developed patterns of organization and governance to manage their societies.

This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, complete the tasks to solve the mystery word and four digit code to collect ancient treasures lost in these civilizations. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #8. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have found and collected the treasures!

This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!

• Natural Disasters Activity Bundle WebQuest & 3 Trivia Games
• Endangered Animal WebQuest

This lesson is based on my own personal experience as a participant on a USA-Mexico border tour project organized by Rethinking Schools & Global Exchange that provided first-hand experience and knowledge concerning the effects of U.S. foreign policy, such as NAFTA, on the lives of ordinary people who reside in the Tijuana area. Students will be prompted to delve far beyond the mainstream explanation that answers the critical question as to why people cross the U.S.-Mexico border. This lesson will have students examine the broader context, and underlying factors to this question, which intimately tie itself to Mexico's agricultural economy. Students will identify the causal puzzle pieces, and then create a ‘LOOP’ (web) diagram that will serve to demonstrate their understandings of how these underlying causes interconnect with one another.

Most Americans don’t even know the Pan-American Highway exists.

The lesson begins with a short introductory PowerPoint presentation that gains students' interest in the highway. Students will work together in cooperative groups or individually to learn about the longest highway in the Western Hemisphere, that has ultimately been forgotten. They will trace the route through an interactive reading activity. Students will then work together to plan a road trip along the highway along the Pan American Highway, stopping at 14 different destinations along the route.

Starting in Alaska and stretching to Argentina, this is the Western Hemisphere’s longest highway. (Relative Location) Studying the Pan-American Highway in geography is essential for understanding the interconnectedness of the North and South American continents.

The Pan-American Highway spans over 19,000 miles. It is the longest road in the world. By examining the highway’s route, geographers gain insight into diverse landscapes, climates, and cultures. (Place: Physical Characteristics) This helps us appreciate the geographical features that shape the regions it traverses. It also reveals how human activities have influenced the environment. (Human-Environment Interaction)

Moreover, the Pan-American Highway plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and commerce between countries in the Americas. (Movement of goods and services) It serves as a major transportation artery, connecting economies and promoting economic growth in the region. Studying the highway provides valuable insights into the patterns of trade and migration within the Americas. (Movement of people and ideas) It also uncovers the challenges and opportunities from its construction and maintenance. Understanding the highway’s significance in globalization and regional integration helps geographers. This is an amazing route to study running through North America, Central America, and South America.

This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that analyzes ancient China's government and the role that geography played on it, the Qin & Han Dynasty's, as well as the advancements that China has in regard to science and technology which is studied in the 6th grade curriculum under the following standards:

• 6.5 As complex societies and civilizations change over time, their political and economic structures evolve. A golden age may be indicated when there is an extended period of time that is peaceful, prosperous, and demonstrates great cultural achievements.
• 6.5a Geographic factors influence the development of classical civilizations and their political structures.
• 6.5b Political structures were developed to establish order, to create and enforce laws, and to enable decision making.

This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, act as an emperor in ancient China by completing tasks to govern the country, maintain unity and defend from northern invaders such as the Mongols; failure will result in the downfall of China. Check out the preview to see what each task card entails. Students will need to walk around the room reading the task cards. Each task card has a code word on the bottom which is the answer to the question/fill in the blank. The answer will NOT be found on that same task card. For example, the answer to task card #1 is found by reading the passage on task card #6. Students MUST record which task card they found the answer on in their answer sheet under the “FOUND CARDS #” column. That column will be used at the end for the 4 digit lock code. They will follow the clues to find the correct 4 digit code. Once they have completed the scavenger hunt they will receive a half sheet of paper stating that they have successful governed China, maintained unity and defended any invasions!

This activity would be a great review before assessments, as a center activity, a group activity, etc. Students will be engaged with the learning while having a fun time trying to solve all of the clues!
