Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition Webquest

Students will gain basic knowledge about the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark Expedition by completing a great internet-based worksheet. The webquest uses a very student friendly website that covers why the United States bought the Louisiana Territory from France. The webquest then focuses on the importance of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the life of Sacagawea. Please check out the website by clicking on the link below.

The webquest contains 48 questions and is a great way to introduce or to have your students go into more depth on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. An answer sheet is included for the teacher. QR code is included along with the traditional website link. The webquest will take most students at least 30 to 50 minutes to complete depending on age. Feel free to modify this activity if needed to fit the needs of your students.

I would like to thank Dandy Doodles for the wonderful clip art!
