The California Gold Rush Cyber Hunt

Your students will learn a wealth of information about the California Gold Rush when completing this Cyber Hunt activity. Students will use a given, kid friendly website to gather information to answer questions. Cyber Hunts are a great way to introduce research using the internet and how to gather evidence from the text to to support answers. Students will gain valuable technology skills such as navigating a website, scanning a web page for information, and identifying facts to answer questions. The web address is given in a shortened URL for a simple, faster, and more efficient way to access the website.

Cyber Hunts can be used to introduce a topic, review material already studied, or as a supplemental resource. These fact-finding exercises are short, and do not require a lot of time, making them a perfect fit to your classroom instruction.

This activity is perfect for independent or partner work, enrichment, centers or stations, interventions, or whole group. The research page is provided in both color and in black and white versions for a more printer friendly option. An answer key is also provided.
