Description
These engaging Social Studies lessons mix history and forensic science for a hands on approach to learning about some of history's greatest mysteries.
Students examine and analyze primary sources as evidence and use critical thinking skills to come up with 4 of their own theories and a conclusion to explain such mysteries as: What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? Where is Blackbeard's pirate treasure? What really happened to missing aviator Amelia Earhart? Where is the lost city of Atlantis? What was the purpose of the Nazca Lines in Peru?
This bundle includes 4 mysteries to "solve". Each activity includes 3 versions:
- Stations - Cut out the evidence (primary sources) and place in manila envelopes. Students rotate to stations to examine the evidence and record their analysis and theories in a station booklet.
- Print and go packet - To save on prep time, you may opt to print out the packet version of this activity. Just copy and staple. That's it.
- Digital Google Slides - A copy link to the interactive Google Slides version of this activity is also included. This version is great for distance learning but can also be used in the classroom for a no prep, paper free option.
Primary sources include letters, journals, maps, artwork, artifacts, photographs, newspaper clippings, and more. Be sure to check out the preview files for a sneak peak at what's included in each resource.
Each of these activities can also be purchased individually but buying this bundle will save you 30%!
