8th Grade Social Studies STAAR Review - History Mystery Scavenger Hunt
By TxMAP Teacher
This product is a Scavenger Hunt of 14 people associated with 8th Grade U.S.History. Included is (1) History Mystery Introduction Sheets (2) History Mystery Answer Document (3) Who Am I Clue Cards, and (4) Character Placards.
It can be done as individuals, in pairs, or in groups. Each student or group will get a History Mystery Introduction Sheet with the answer document copied to the back. There are 14 different Introductory Sheets so students don't all start at the same place. When students find the Character Placard associated with their clue, they will write the name and letter on their answer document. They will then get a Who Am I clue card to find their next clue. I make several copies of the clue cards and place them by the Character Placards. *** It is important to make sure there is a planned out order to where you place the Who Am I cards so that students don't end up going to the same person twice.

By Geography & Math Made Easy
Looking for a cool topic to teach your students about? Why not dive into the fascinating world of the Panama Canal and its infrastructure? The building of the Panama Canal was a great revolution that improved** global trade **between the western and eastern hemispheres. Splitting Central America and South America, this engineering marvel connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, making it a crucial trade route. It is called the Panama Canal Zone. Your students can learn about its construction, history, and significance in global trade. **President Theodore Roosevelt **spent $365 million in the early 1900s to build the canal that would make history! They'll be amazed by the sheer scale of this project and how it revolutionized international shipping. Not only is it educational, but it's also a great way to spark curiosity and interest in geography and world history. Plus, who doesn't love a good story about overcoming challenges and engineering feats? It was a great feat and the 50-mile canal of lock was built in only 10 years! Amazing!

Women's Suffrage Movement Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)
By Miss Yous Clues and Resources
This is a scavenger hunt using task cards that is based on the women's suffrage movement which is studied in the 4th grade curriculum under the following standards: 4.5 Different groups of people did not have equal rights and freedoms. People worked to bring about change. The struggle for rights and freedoms was one factor in the division of the United States that resulted in the Civil War. 4.5b Women have not always had the same rights as men in the United States and New York State. They sought to expand their rights and bring about change.
This resource begins by challenging students with a mission, complete the tasks to solve the mystery word and four digit code to find the Declaration of Sentiments which is a crucial document to helping women gain equality. Students will read about the rights that women were denied, the Seneca Falls Convention, Amelia Bloomer, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, the Declaration of Sentiments and the 19th amendment. 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 the Declaration of Sentiments document and helped Susan B. Anthony in the suffrage movement!
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!
