Ideas for using Geocaching in school projects...

Here are a few suggestions to get you started...

Teach your classmates about Geocaching! Explain what it is (see 'what is geocaching' in the links below)
show them a GPS and give them the coordinates for your classroom. If your GPS shows a map or tracks your movements, you can save the coordinates for each stop that your bus makes on the way to school and show your classmates the track log. Ask your parents or teacher to help you hide a cache on the school property for your classmates to find. You may even get your teacher and classmates excited enough about geocaching to create travel bugs to place in caches and watch their journey on-line!

Check the internet for more ideas. Here is an interesting site that tells about an elementary grade class and their geocaching adventures: http://seth.dynip.com/giftedland/units/geocaching/
