Gridding a Site
Students make observations of effigy mounds and record them in a notebook. In groups, they must determine the scale of measurement and create their own grid to scale part of the Effigy Mounds National Monument. They also practice using...
Curated OER
Line and Pattern
Students investigate lines and patterns. In this line and pattern lesson, students discuss types of lines and work on grids. They draw a picture very lightly before filling it in with the pattern they made in the grid.
