Kristy Martin-Science - I did not like these sites for this scenario. I could not find anything that pertained to Native Americans, or this time era. I will list some that I have found that I would use with this project. We have a high population of Native Americans, so I know my kids would love this project. I would start with a guest speaker, and a field trip. Once again this would be great for me because I can use this with all science subjects, which are together in my class. I would have biology focus on habitat and medicine; physical science would work on the different tools, and environmental work on the shelter. http://www.bigorrin.org/ponca_kids.htm http://www.nativeamericans.com/Ponca.htm
