Baseball Geography.

This paper describes a simulation in which students pretend to follow a favorite baseball team on the road and travel to major league baseball cities in North America. Students use the encyclopedia to answer questions about each city they "visit" and then report on what they have learned by designing a postcard to send back to the class. The activities are suitable for most student at the third through fifth grade levels and can be used to motivate students of both genders. Procedures and instructions, a time frame, and a listing of materials and resources are included. (EH)
