Each student takes turns choosing a number (rolling dice or choosing a number card) and answering the corresponding WV question. Each question located under a flap with a picture of our state on it. If the student gets the answer correct, he or she may move their hiker one spot up the mountain. The first one up wins! Answers are located in pockets on the back. ||

The teacher may assign the student a job (photographer, interviewer, or announcer) or a student could pick which top secret assignment they would like. Each job, has its own press pass that the students can wear to indicate they are using the station. The teacher writes the name of the book and/or chapter # on the laminated camera to indicate how the student is to respond to each task. The photographer would get a film strip out of the folder and draw the beginning, middle, and end of the chapter of story, the interviewer would write questions to the characters in the book and may answer them how they think the characters would respond, and the announcer would record themself reading a favorite part of the story. Each task can be changed to meet the needs of the students. ||

The trash can lid pulls up to reveal what landfills are made up of and what can and cannot be recycled. The lunch bags on the left are the directions to the activity. I would set up two lunch bags and the students would go through each and determine which lunch was the best for the environment (which had less trash, which had items that can be reused). On the right are 8 kid friendly ways students can Go Green! ||

Students would read the information about forensic scientists and fingerprint types on the main area of the board. Next, students will read the mystery story on the left about someone stealing all of the cookies from Mom's cookie jar. Student can see each of the suspects and their fingerprint type underneath the story. Students will then take a cookie jar picture from the pocket on the left and use fingerprint dust to reveal the print. Students will analyze the features and match it to the suspect. On the right of the board, students are able to create and look at their own fingerprints as well as check the answer to the mystery!

The cookie jars are clip art pictures that I laminated. I then rubbed my finger on a glue stick and pressed my print on the jar and let dry. My fingerprint matches one of the suspects :) ||
