Earth Day : Crack the Code World Edition . Virtual Field Trip & Teamwork FUN!

Welcome to an amazing interactive virtual field trip / team challenge that will send your students on a mission to explore landforms and famous destinations from all around the earth! These are great to use whole group or in small groups, in person or over distance! This one is especially perfect for Earth Day... but it's a hit ANY time!

For each of the 5 questions, students will:

➊ Find the destination on Google Earth using a tablet or computer.

➋ Use the map to solve the question and circle the correct answer from the 2 multiple choices given… each answer comes with a visual number (either on dice, fingers, ten frame, or tally marks) that will eventually help students “crack the code.”

➌ Once all 5 questions are answered, students will add up the total of all their answers (Tip: teach younger students to TOUCH the dots/ fingers/ tallies as they count so they don’t lose track) and if they have answered everything correctly, they will be able to tell the teacher the top secret code! Instruct kids to keep this TOP SECRET (don’t shout it out!) and come whisper it to you when they think they know it.

Whole group: This is like an awesome around-the-world virtual field trip! When I use these with the whole class, I do all the "driving" around Google Earth while kids all chime in on the answers & record the numbers so we can add them up together at the end to crack the code!

Small groups: I've also had great success using this in my Kindergarten classroom after we took a day or 2 to just have fun exploring and learning how to use Google Earth. I taught them things like how to zoom in and out, how to go to the street view to go inside buildings, and how to type or dictate where they want to travel to. My class has iPads so I talked them through the task ahead of time and then set my kids up in teams. I made sure each group had a student who would be able to read the tasks. I rotated around to assist and answer questions, too.

New to Google Earth? Honestly, I didn’t know how to use Google Earth either, but the 1 minute tutorial on their site taught me enough to get started and I’m sure you can figure it out easily, too! It’s an AMAZING resource!
