Virtual Colony Project
Updated: April 6, 2004
Students experience what it is like to explore a completely unfamiliar land, found a colony, and develop strategies to make their colony successful.
“This was such a wonderful project... I ended up learning so much more about colonies than I ever could from reading in a book because I raised one myself!”
Middle school student, Eckstein Middle School
