Guide elementary students through exciting historical investigations to build content knowledge and critical thinking skills with Private i History Detectives and discover why do we have so many governments.

    In this inquiry-based unit, students learn about the three levels of government, including local government. They will participate in a scenario in which they will explore how to navigate local government.

    Students will also learn how life under British rule and the Articles of Confederation shaped what Americans wanted in their new government.
