Science Sampler: Map your way to the Grand Canyon

Science Scope -- October 2005

How do urban eighth graders from the flatlands of Indiana capture the poetry and grandeur of the Grand Canyon without ever leaving the classroom? By talking and touching and seeing and smelling and listening and...writing. Enhance your eighth-grade geology unit by implementing this inquiry-based activity that stimulates the senses and uses writing as a means of assessment and as a creative outlet into your science curriculum.
