Quest #2:

Travel to Moneyland on Planet Orange

On this quest you will visit Planet Orange. Read the home page (Can you find the where the yodeler is?) and then take a visit to Moneyland. Read carefully since you need to collect information as you go along. After viewing all that you can while you're in this Orange Planet country, take the Moneyland quiz, then write a travel review. Describe what you learned while you were in Moneyland.

 

Quest #3: Write an Article for Interstellar Travel Magazine. On this quest, you are a writer for the Interstellar Travel Magazine. Your editor, Bill Barter, has asked you to return to Planet Orange to find out if it will be a good vacation destination for your readers. Bill is leaving the choice up to you. Visit any of the three destinations shown below. After fully taking in all the sights and learning everything you can, write a travel review which will tell future travelers about your discoveries. Feel free to visit another destination after writing your article. You'll be on vacation on your next visits, so relax and forget the paper work.

Quest #4: Run a Successful Lemonade Stand!

 

On this quest, you'll need to read the

directions first before you play the

Lemonade Stand game. You will be recording the results, day by day, on your Lemonade Sales Chart. There are 30 days of business to complete and your assets, costs, profits, and even the weather change every day. Be ready to share your experiences. What worked best? How did you decide how much to advertise, how much lemonade to make, and how to set the price???

 

Quest #5: Load up at the Money Buffet. Your quest is to visit as many places as you can, to find out as much as you can about money. Visit mrsmacadam's Money Page and "load up." No need to worry about calories--you'll just be adding money smarts to your wallet.
Quest #6: Match the Currency with the Country! You will need the Currency form. Write your name at the top of the page and start hunting. If some of the currencies listed are the "old ones" that might have been replaced with Euros, just make a note of this when you write the name of the country down. Check your work and turn in to the teacher. Will you be the first to find the facts?
Quest #6-A:

Another Currency Hunt, but easier...

This is a bit easier, but follow the directions.

 Print out the Currency Form if necessary. Some of the currencies are "old" since several of the countries have switched to Euros. If you can find out which countries are using Euros now, make a note of it. Use Google to find the answers. Finally, after you've completed the page, highlight the currencies that were new to you, and then turn your work in to the teacher.
