After studying exploration in Texas History, these 4th graders selected a famous explorer to research. They were required to read a biography, research the internet, create a time line, and write a speech. When patrons came to the Explorer Wax Museum, each "wax" figure came to life by the touch of a button. Visitors were treated to a short summary of the explorer's life.
