Idaho is a Rocky Mountain state known for its rugged mountains, deep canyons, and beautiful forests. It played an important role in westward expansion, with parts of the Oregon Trail running through the state and early settlers drawn by mining opportunities. Visitors can explore stunning natural landmarks like Shoshone Falls, Hells Canyon, and Craters of the Moon National Monument. With its rich history, outdoor adventures, and welcoming small towns, Idaho offers a true taste of the American West.

With this activity, students will learn this and more about the state of Idaho, including its state symbols, state quarter, geography, government and more. They will answer 40 questions about the state, including coloring in the state flag and labeling a provided map of the state. These questions span a total of five pages.

Then, students will use what they learned in their research to create a poster about the state. There is a provided rubric that you may pass out to students for this poster, which outlines what to include and how to make the poster. (This make the student packet a total of six pages).
