Products
Kentucky History Investigation Notebook
Students keep a research notebook that shows their question, notes from the museum visit and classroom sources, artifact observations, and a short evidence-based explanation. The notebook proves each student's own understanding of how one world event changed Kentucky and how cultures blended there.
Kentucky History Museum Display and Family Walk Presentation
Teams create a museum-style exhibit board or shoebox display with labels, images, maps, and artifact replicas, then present a short shared talk at Museum Day. The display synthesizes team evidence and explains one world event, one Kentucky change, and one example of cultural blending.
