In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of resources to learn and build background knowledge about the time period. Students will also use what they know about chemical reactions.
This STEM activity has students research and create a spy document using techniques used in the war
