Make a model of Pike's Peak from salt dough.

Have students make a journal similar to the
one Meriwether Lewis and William Clark kept careful field notes in
during their 6,000 mile journey. They saw 178 kinds of plants and
122 animals that were previously unknown to the people in the rest
of the United States. Have students choose one of these animals and
make a detailed drawing of it. Some suggestions to choose are:
| buffalo |
coyotes |
jackrabbits |
prairie dog |
| wild turkeys |
sage hens |
rattlesnakes |
lizards |
| antelope |
owls |
wolves |
