Includes bibliographical references (p. 139) and index.
Projects detailed in this book include mapmaking, plant sample preservation, and a recipe for Arikara stew made with corn, squash, and beans. The projects are interspersed with narrative text explaining the journey of Lewis and Clark. For instance, when students read about the explorers using sign language to communicate with the Plains tribes, they can then learn a few of the signs themselves, bringing what they have read to life. The text suits older students, but many of the activities would work with younger children, too. (Miller Library Staff)
An account of the Lewis and Clark expedition sent by President Jefferson to explore the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Includes related activities.
