Destination Unknown: Operation Blind Terrain

Destination Unknown is a complete, self-directed earth science unit study built for middle and high school students who learn best by doing. Each of the six missions follows the same structure: students complete a hands-on experiment that models the geologic process that created the landscape, work through a set of field clues drawn from direct observation of their surroundings, and then read a detailed Field Intelligence Report that gives them the full science behind what they have encountered. The mystery is solved only when a student can name their location and explain exactly how they know.
