What it is: This interactive web site combines Google Search with Google Maps to create truly interest-grabbing Scavenger Hunts called TerraClues. You can access lots of already-made hunts that involve your current curriculum, or you have the ability to create your own TerraClues to fit your particular classroom needs. Students learn about maps, curriculum content, and how to use a search engine.
How to use: You'll be able to use this tool for any curriculum area! Create a hunt to teach students about historical landmarks, geography, literature units where the characters visit various locations, rare plants, volcanoes, and more. Be creative!
Tip 1: Get your older students to create a hunt for younger students, or have groups of students create hunts based on a curriculum unit to share with the rest of the class as a review.
Tip 2: Click on the Tutorial Hunt to see how TerraClues works. It's Great!!!
