The students had to work together to find all the stones and figure out how to arrange the words into a meaningful sentence. The sentence they formed became our driving question for the week!

Baldhead Wild Goose Chase https://padlet.com/futureprepd/gqb10dsx7dbulodi/wish/3516177091 The team’s solution to the driving question was a letter scavenger hunt throughout the museum property. This is something that museum goers can enjoy even if the museum is closed. Outside the door, the students plan to put laminated sheets that say “Did you know that Mt. Baldhead has ___    _ _ _ _ _ _ to climb up?” People will then be able to find the letters outside in the garden. Once they find all 7, they will unscramble them to complete the fun fact. The students also chose to intentionally place the letters around the signs in order to encourage people to read and learn more.

  • changing spots and riddle periodically so people keep coming back (maybe with seasons?)

  • "stamp book" to collect stamps, like in National Parks

  • possibly a QR code or another way to tie to phones rather than a physical form to fill out

  • add information about how to donate or become a member of the museum
