This project provides students with the opportunity to research and plan a vacation to the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas and Oklahoma. The project was designed to spread awareness of the prairie ecosystem, encourage relevant research, develop planning skills, and creation of an economically sound budget strategy for the trip. I use this project with my unit in science called Models of Earth. The project could easily be used in math, and social studies as well.
