Ancient Greece Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that analyzes ancient Greece in regard to their culture, government and Alexander the Great 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 Alexander the Great and conquer new lands across Africa, Europe, and Asia, just as Alexander did over 2,000 years ago; failure will result in them "perishing", unable to overcome the rugged terrain and powerful enemies that stand in your way. 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 successfully conquered new lands over various continents!

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!

The Industrial Revolution

By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace

The Industrial Revolution, often categorized into the First Industrial Revolution and Second Industrial Revolution, marked a transitional phase in the global economy towards more extensive, efficient, and consistent manufacturing methods, following the Second Agricultural Revolution. Initiating in Great Britain circa 1760, the Industrial Revolution extended to continental Europe and the United States by approximately 1840. This shift involved moving from manual production techniques to machinery; novel chemical manufacturing and iron production methods; a greater reliance on water and steam power; the creation of machine tools; and the emergence of the mechanized factory system. Production significantly surged, leading to an unparalleled increase in both population and the pace of population growth. The textile sector was the pioneer in adopting modern manufacturing techniques, making textiles the leading industry regarding employment, output value, and capital investment.

This handy ebook will help you teach your students about the Industrial Revolution. It contains facts, plenty of activities, the students' printable worksheet, and the relevant answer key at the end.
