| Summary |
Students visit the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. They also visit the Great Lakes, and cross the Interior Plains as they learn about the region's history, culture, industry and natural resources. Some time is spent with a dairy farmer in Wisconsin, and they visit Chicago, the region's largest city, along with two spectacular sculptures carved into the sides of mountains: Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial. After taking a hot air balloon ride across the farms of the Midwest, students have some typical Midwestern food, including bratwurst and Swedish pancakes. |
