Geography Project and Mystery: Temperate Climate Zone - ELA and Art for Spring

In this geography mystery project, your kids will be "dropped off" in a mysterious location somewhere in the TEMPERATE CLIMATE in the spring.

SCROLL DOWN TO REVEAL THE MYSTERY LOCATION:

Your kids will be dropped off in...

🌱A Northeastern American Pond!🌱

They'll discover clues about their location through 3 reading passages with comprehension questions:

🌱 What's do plant life do you see?

🌱 What temperature does your thermometer read?

🌱 What wildlife is around you?

🌱 What is the weather like?

After answering these comprehension questions (and more), kids pull out their "Pocket Guides."

Inside, they will find details about wildlife, temperature, and the Koppen climate zones. They will need to read the Pocket Guide and Climate Map to decipher valuable information.

From here, they will "chart" their findings onto a Venn Diagram to determine...

"WHERE AM I?"

Once they've discovered their mystery location, they'll create their own 3D habitat representing the landscape and wildlife through ART!

Do you think your kids will discover the mystery location?
