About: This is the Scholastic website. It is a great site for all subject areas. Students will need Flash to play the interactives and there is a quick and easy download available on the website. This is a link to the social studies area. The videos on current events and historic events are interactive, but there is also a really cool interactive about airport security. This gives students a close up experience with terrorism and homeland security in a real life application.
Directions: Click on the "Baggage Screener" activity. You will be an airport carry on baggage screener. You will screen baggage for guns, knives and explosives. You can change colors so that organic (possible explosive) materials turn orange. You can also stop the conveyor belt to study an item more closely, but you will have to listen to the complaints of travelers in line and you only have 2 minutes to complete the game.
