From giant roller coasters, to little kid rides, and even a water park. Some of the most famous roller coasters at Dorney are: Steel Force, Possessed, Talon, Thunderhawk, and Hydra. But don’t worry if those sound scary, because Dorney Park offers a part of the park for younger children called “Snoopy Land.” “Snoopy Land” has little roller coasters, small rides, and fun games for little kids. When it is a hot day outside, you can take a trip to Wildwater Kingdom. This part of Dorney park is a water park. It has amazing slides, the lazy river, the wave pool, and lots more.

Knoebels has many food options from hotdogs, hamburgers, corn dogs, pizza, pretzels, ice cream, and more. Knoebels is known for its kettle corn and pickles on sticks. If you go there, make sure to get a bag of each. If you are tired from the all rides, the park has many small attractions. You can listen to live bands, play carnival games, take the train around the park, take a walk to the “zoo” (a small area with animals), look at the ducks in the ponds, and more.

Tickets for the zoo range from $11-$13 depending on how old you are. Hershey Park located in Hershey, P A G E 3 Summer Fun continued...by Gianna Garcia 8th Grade Pennsylvania is known for its chocolate. Make sure to stop at the Hershey Factory to see the history of the chocolate, how they make the chocolate, and to purchase some chocolate. Are you and your family animal people? Then Claws ‘N’ Paws and Lehigh Valley Zoo are both great day trip spots. Here you can see animals and explore the outside world with nature. If you like to get up close to animals, then Claws ‘N’ Paws is just for you! The zoo has so many different animals. From lions, tigers, monkeys, bears, giraffes, birds, and reptiles. Tickets range from $41-$51 per day per person. If you get a chance, visit this zoo to spend time outside, with your family, and with the animals. The Lehigh Valley Zoo is another amazing, spacious, and adventurous place within driving distance from the Poconos. There are many animals there including penguins, otters, horses, birds, reptiles, giraffes, and more. The Lehigh Valley Zoo has many events for you and your family to enjoy. Tickets range from $12.50-$14.50 per person per day. A definite summer destination. But finding summer fun doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Put down your phone, get out of the house, and go exploring. You can visit a local park, a state park, or even your backyard. At local parks, most have playgrounds, trails, picnic tables, and more. Some local parks in the Poconos are: Mountain View, Dansbury, Pocono Farms, and more. Visit a state park which usually includes lakes, ponds, maybe some playgrounds, and lots of trails. Some nearby state parks are: Tobyhanna State Park, Big Pocono, Hickory Run, Beltzville, and more. In your backyard, you can have a campfire, make a fort, play with your pets, sit back and look at nature just to name a few. Summer doesn’t always have to mean spending money. All in all, whether you spend a little or a lot of money visiting water parks, amusement parks or state parks, the Poconos is filled with many places to visit, explore, and have fun.

Dorney Park/Kutztown University Thrill U. - Algebra Introduction Welcome to Thrill U.! This set of mathematics activities focuses on Algebra . We believe there is something for everyone as the collection represents a breadth of adventures. There are activities that address algebra topics for beginning students (Survival of the Fittest), for mid-level students (Dominator), and for more advanced students (Thunderhawk). Some activities require straightforward data collection and calculations (Waveswinger), while others require collaboration (White Water Landing - The Bridge) or interdisciplinary considerations (Create a Park). Several of the activities can be easily adapted for special needs students, some can be adapted for use as follow-up activities, and still others are appropriate for schools with intensive scheduling programs. Each activity is preceded by an "Information Sheet" to help guide teachers in selecting appropriate activities for their particular group(s) of students. In addition to identifying objectives based on state and national mathematics standards, these pages provide a list of equipment needs and suggestions that may lead to the activity's successful completion. Teachers should feel welcome to adapt activities to the specific needs of their students. Teachers may request a “solution manual.” Contact Dr. Joseph S.
