Then click "Beringia Quest," and then "Section 1" to read all about Beringia. When you're finished, go to "Kids Corner" to learn how to draw a moose, or to complete a word search.

Yukon Timeline |
1. Visit the Yukon History Web page. Read the article on this page. 2. There are more than 20 dates given in the article. All of them are important! However, your job is to create a timeline using only 12 dates. Click here to download an organizer to help you gather your information. Beside each date you choose, write down what happened on (or around) that date. Then answer why you think that date was an important one in Yukon's history. The first entry on your timeline, and the last, has been done for you as examples. 3. After you complete your timeline, compare the dates you chose with one or more of your classmates. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers, but you should be able to say why you included the dates and events on your timeline. |
