[LM_NET] Target: MID: Project Trip Across the US Vising Monuments

[Mary Melaugh <mmelaugh@COMCAST.NET>]

An 8th grade science teacher at my school wants to come to the library to do
a project she remembers seeing in an education magazine, possibly Educator
Magazine(?) within "the past 8 years" in which the students plan a trip
across the United States. Along the way, they plan their routes, budget for
gasoline, mileage, etc. They decide what states to pass through, figure out
which monuments and historical sites they want to see along the way. The
project has elements of math, science, and social studies in it. 
 
I have tried on my own to find this, but haven't had any success. If this
sounds familiar and anyone knows where she might find a copy of the actual
lesson plan for it, please contact me directly. Thank you very much!
