I've used several projects from Journey North including Mystery Class, Symbolic Monarch Migration, and the Tulip Gardens. My favorite though is Mystery Class. It's almost like a year long game of hide and seek. Students take real ownership of their part of the project and love that I don't have the answers. The project has kids using math, science, geography, and writing to find the answers.
