About this activity
A live 3D test track. The class meets six inventions of early societies (birchbark canoe, snowshoes, kayak, the wheel, paper, the Maya calendar), then reads the land in new places on the big screen and predicts on Chromebooks: which invention fits, and will this one work here, and why? The 3D test runs only at the reveal.
What students learn
- Explain why the birchbark canoe, snowshoes, the kayak, the wheel, paper and the Maya calendar fit the land and the problem they were made for (A3.6, A3.5)
- Predict whether an invention will work in a new place by reading its land clues (A1.4)
- Explain that societies are different because the land is different (A1.4)
