Publisher's Synopsis
This is the second book in the Actual Size series.
Finally! Teachers have been asking for this book for years. Easy-to-follow directions and precise blueprints guide you in creating lessons your students will never forget! You can talk about Columbus's voyages while students stroll a full-scale drawing of the Santa Maria's deck! Kids can read about the Oregon Trail-while sitting in a scale model of a prairie schooner! Imagine the impact when kids arrive at school to find a life-sized Roman road stretching across the playground. See how big a log cabin really was and the International Space Station truly is. Actual Size-Social Studies also makes it easy to create smaller scale models of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
