[LM_NET] HIT: Research Activity Source (sort of)

[Kaline Goodrich <kaline369@YAHOO.COM>]

Last week I posted a request for a research activity that I was hoping someone 
might be able to identify for me.  Unfortunately no one seems to have recognized it 
for me description.  I am only posting this for those people who requested a hit.  
The original request is below in case anyone reads this who missed it the first 
time around.  I would still love to know the answer if anyone out there recognizes 
it from my description below.  Thank you.

About three years ago I got an offer in the mail for some activity sheets
that were basically a scavenger hunt using research sources - encyclopedias, the 
internet, dictionaries, almanacs, etc.  The idea was to
find the answers to about ten questions.  I believe the answers were all
numbers.  Then a little math had to take place and the final answer was a
zip code.  Students then had to find the place the zip code was for.

I couldn't get it then, but kept the ordering info.  Unfortunately I have
had the library moved twice since then and can't find the darn thing.  I
don't know if I want to order it, but I would like to take another look.
Anyone out there know what I am talking about and can send me the info (or
better yet a URL)?

Also, if you bought it, how has it worked for you?  Does it engage the
students?  Are they helpful in reviewing there sources?  Anything else you
think I should know?
