Do you love our National Parks and want to find a way to integrate reading, writing, math, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in a fun, real-life context into your lessons? Consider using project-based learning in your classroom! In this PBL unit, students can plan a road trip to the national parks with their families, while also creating a realistic budget for their vacation.
One of the benefits of this project-based learning unit is that it allows for student choice and personalization, as they have the opportunity to make decisions that will shape their learning experience. Plus, with both 5th/6th grade and 3rd/4th grade versions of the project included, it's easy to differentiate and engage all learners in your classroom.
