Full Project Description:

Our fifth grade class researched explorers. After creating HyperStudio projects about their explorers, each team wrote several questions to create a quiz to be posted on-line. We hope to become explorers ourselves as we learn about the world through email. We'd like classes to take our quiz about explorers and e-mail their answers to us. We'll check the answers and let you know how you did. When you send in your answers please tell us about your part of the world by giving us the following information: the name of your school, your city/town your state or country special things about your town

Objectives:

Other upper elementary/middle school classes can use this quiz as a springboard to a discussion of explorers. Participation in this project will help us learn more about our country and world.
