Investigating Wisconsin History | Using Nature's Resources

'Investigating Wisconsin History' helps students think like historians. Each program poses a 'history mystery' and then follows a variety of historical clues to solve it. As 'history detectives,' students analyze such clues as historical sites, oral histories, artifacts, maps and photographs. In putting together this historical evidence, they will form an image of the past and realize that history often involves multiple perspectives.

Using Nature's Resources - Angie explores a shipwreck while scuba diving in Lake Michigan, which prompts her to investigate the ways in which water resources have been used in Wisconsin's past. Her investigation leads her from Lake Superior to the Fox River to the Horicon Marsh. She explores the relationship between people and natural resources, noting the impact of human decisions on those resources. Angie encourages students to think about the balance between using and protecting natural resources.
