Labs of Wonder: Amelia Earhart Unit Study

History becomes a mystery your child gets to solve.

In this Amelia Earhart Unit Study turned Historical Detective investigation, students step into the role of investigators as they examine real evidence from Amelia Earhart’s final journey. Instead of memorizing facts, they analyze clues, trace flight paths, evaluate theories, and form their own conclusion about what really happened in 1937.

They will map her route across the world, study her last radio transmissions, examine weather conditions, evaluate aircraft limitations, and compare competing theories. Every page invites them to think, question, and reason like a true historian.

This printable turns history into an unfolding case file. Kids gather evidence, weigh possibilities, and write their final detective report defending the theory they believe makes the most sense.

Perfect for upper elementary and middle school learners who love puzzles, mysteries, and figuring things out for themselves.
