U.S. Geography with a Twist.

Ramondetta, June

Learning, v22 n4 p57-59 Nov-Dec 1993

Elementary students can investigate U.S. geography and exercise critical thinking and research skills by compiling a computer database on state facts and figures. As they research and work, they develop their own questions to ask and answer and make thoughtful hypotheses about how and why facts may be related. (SM)
