Google Map project so far...

Students in the 5th grade discuss the Lewis & Clark expedition. This year we had students create a biography of the leaders but I can see how our social studies teachers could have the students research the expedition and create a map listing information such as:

Beginning and end of expedition
Current cities Lewis and Clark passed through
Different Native American nations Lewis & Clark encountered
Dates of important events

I've created a basic map detailing the route they took to explore the western part of the United States, but students could also detail their return trip using different colors.
