Abstract
Simulation lessons and materials were developed to teach concepts on Washington State to a classroom of fourth grade students. The activities in which the students participated were the following:
1) planned trips to the five geographic regions of Washington State;
2) became part of an Indian tribe and held a meeting with other tribes at Sacajawea Park;
3) played a board game, traveling with Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean;
4) held mock state elections and one legislative session.
Students showed an increased interest in social studies through the simulations.
