Dog Sled Race Project Based Learning

This engaging project allows students to use a variety of math and language skills in a relevant simulation. They will plan, prepare, and race in a Dog Sled Race. Here's a list of the different activities included in this project:

Activity 1: Your Team: Students create their dog team. They draw pictures of each of their 6 dogs and name them. They also develop a team logo.

Activity 2: Sled Dog Care: Students read a passage describing the needs of their sled dogs. They follow up by answering questions related to the cost of care.

Activity 3: Dress For Success: Students calculate their budget for the necessary clothing for dog sled racing.

Activity 4: Equipment Round Up: Students choose from a variety of equipment they will need and stick to a budget. They also write about their reasons for choosing the items.

Activity 5: Planning the Route: Students use a trail map and distance chart to plan their route. They answer questions

Activity 6: Post Cards From the Trail: Students create and write a postcard to a friend describing their adventures on the trail.

Activity 7: On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!: Students use their time telling skills to answer questions about their race time.

Activity 8: Photo Finish: Students use measurement conversions to determine the winner of the race.
