Journey North - Mystery Class 2008
"The Mystery Class investigation is an 11-week hunt in which students try to find 10 secret "Mystery Classes" hiding around the globe. The changing amount of sunlight at each site is the central clue. Students take an inspiring journey from knowing only sunrise and sunset times to discovering exact locations of the 10 Mystery Classes. This investigation demonstrates that, as spring sweeps across the Northern Hemisphere, day length changes everywhere on earth. Students see that these dramatic seasonal changes in sunlight affect the entire web of life." - Mystery Class, About page

Oregon Trail
Students will be immersed in the Westward Movement. They will form families, use primary sources to decide whether their family should risk travelling out west, research a chosen pioneer who travelled the Oregon Trail, write about their experiences as a traveling pioneer in a journal while experiencing hardships along the way. On Oregon Trail Day, we will join three other classrooms to form our own wagon train. We will hit OES' Nature Trail to reenact the settlement of the west.
