Synopsis

Designed as an around-the-world adventure for gifted students, these activities emphasize creativity, problem solving, inquiry, and critical thinking in the fields of math, language arts, leadership skills, social studies, and science.

Projects include writing a fairy tale using jargon and cliches, studying and composing wartime songs, designing a Martian space colony, and inventing secret codes using binary, octal, and hexadecimal systems. Bonus miles are logged as each project is completed, encouraging self-directed students to focus and develop their independent study skills.

Designed to keep gifted students motivated to work independently, this unique collection of integrated activities will enhance students' organizational and study skills while challenging them to fly.

Grades 4-8
