Students will explore different theme parks from around the world and ride some of the noteworthy rides in each. Using Google Earth and first person POV YouTube videos, students will reflect, compare and contrast as they travel along. Google Earth link is on the first slide. I use this as a kick off to a PBL project I have uploaded (Imagineering) where students will create their own theme park.
