Webs are an excellent tool to help students organize facts in a systematic and visual manner. Students will research Wyoming and use the blank template provided to show what they have learned. They will then create a 6 cell web that includes the state motto, flower, tree, and bird, capital and other major cities, a famous citizen, date of statehood, nickname, and an interesting tourist spot for Wyoming. This activity could be used as part of a Regions of the United States unit, or as part of an informational research unit.

Objective: Create a 6 cell web that includes the state motto, flower, tree, and bird, capital and other major cities, a famous citizen, date of statehood, nickname, and an interesting tourist spot for Wyoming.
Student Instructions:
Combine the Wyoming fact web activity with similar webs for other states so students can compare and contrast state features. This helps students develop research skills and understand regional differences more deeply.
Distribute a unique state to each student or group. This ensures a wide variety of state webs and keeps students engaged by exploring different regions.
Use the same template and categories (motto, flower, famous citizen, etc.) for each state. This makes it easy to compare findings and spot similarities or differences across states.
Display all student webs around the classroom and allow students to walk around, observe, and discuss. This activity encourages collaboration and helps students learn from each other’s research.
Prompt students to share observations about recurring categories or surprising facts. Use guiding questions to help them analyze why states might share features or have unique characteristics.
A Wyoming facts web activity is a visual organizer where students research and display key facts about Wyoming—like its state motto, bird, flower, major cities, famous citizens, and tourist spots—using a 6-cell spider map template. This helps students summarize and present information clearly.
To create a 6 cell web for Wyoming facts, write 'Wyoming' in the center. Around it, draw six connected cells for categories such as state motto, symbols (flower, tree, bird), major cities, a famous citizen, statehood date and nickname, and a tourist spot. Add short summaries and illustrations for each fact.
A Wyoming state spider map should include: state motto, state flower, state tree, state bird, capital and other major cities, a famous citizen, date of statehood, nickname, and an interesting tourist spot. Each fact gets its own section with a summary and illustration.
Webs and spider maps help students visually organize important information, making it easier to remember and present facts about states like Wyoming. They encourage research, creativity, and concise writing, which are key skills for grades 3–6.
The best approach is to provide a simple template, clear categories (like motto, cities, symbols), and reliable resources. Encourage students to summarize each fact in their own words and use illustrations to make learning about Wyoming more engaging and memorable.
