Lewis & Clark IMAX Movie plus Fun (and educational) Lewis & Clark Activities

5/31/2013

 
Picture
When
Friday, May 31, 2013, 9:45 am - 1:00 pm

Where
Riverfront Park, IMAX Theater
Spokane, WA 99201

We begin our historic journey with an IMAX movie about Lewis  & Clark. It was the dawn of a nation -- a time before the American West became known as the frontier, and little was known about what lay within. Two captains, courageous in spirit and unyielding in their dedication to their mission, led 31 people, including one woman and her infant son, to the Pacific Ocean and back. Now, 200 years after the launch of the expedition, this breathtaking drama is captured for audiences in the newest large-format release from National Geographic. Audiences will experience the danger and beauty of the unknown West as it unfolded before the eyes of Lewis and Clark.

Next we travel onward to the picnic tables in Riverfront Park for a sack lunch.

Finally we embark on fabulously fun and exciting educational activities to help us learn even more about the adventures of Lewis & Clark.  
  • We'll make our own compasses, like Lewis & Clark would have done.
  • We'll learn to measure distance by dead reckoning, just like William Clark.
  • We'll figure out how to measure speed in knots (as if we were in a boat.)
  • We'll discover how to draw a map like a Mandan American Indian leader.

The Green Zone is a place to discover "earth-friendly" ideas and alternatives compatible with the Inland Northwest lifestyle.  As the population of Spokane County grows, greater demands will be placed on our environment by the choices and actions of individuals. The volume of waste is increasing, the sources of air and water pollution are becoming more widespread, and the need to conserve water is growing.  The Green Zone is a free, public outdoor and indoor learning center demonstrating positive options for business, home and play to create a more sustainable environment. Our goal is to provide a public learning center with information about environmentally sound alternatives to traditional practices so that individuals can make choices for a more sustainable lifestyle.

Ages:  Kindergarten to 12th grade.  Younger children are not allowed to attend this "class" so please leave them with a sitter.  

Cost:  Free
