The students will begin their "trip" in Yellowstone National Park. They will use the first link to "fly" them here. Once "landed" they will answer given questions about Yellow Stone National Park. After their research at Yellowstone, the students will pack up and "fly" to their next destination, Glacier National Park. Here they will conduct research about this National Park to wrap up their trip.

Students will use the following questions about their "trip" to be assessed.

I believe this allows students an interesting way to learn about their country. If talking about National Parks in class, I feel this would be a great way to introduce students to them by allowing them to "travel" their themselves.
