Yesterday in my US History class, I led the students across the Oregon Trail and then had them pan for gold (rocks I painted gold with fingernail polish!) Here are some photos. On the trail, they had to cover a raw egg while remaining in their wagons ( a string around four students). I think they had fun and we learned that the trail was difficult and panning was not for everyone.
