 * Here's a great video to watch on the Lost Colony of Roanoke (4:17) that just might help you find some answers.
 * Locate England in Google Earth. Put a placemark on the coast of England. In the description area tell why England wanted to start colonies in North America.
 * Locate Roanoke Island (search for Manteo, NC). Put a placemark on the north end of the island. Write an explanation for the disappearance of the Lost Colony.
 * Measure the distance from the west coast of England to the north end of Roanoke Island. Select Path on the ruler tool. Now measure from one place to another. Save the path. Name it 'England to Roanoke'. In the description write about how many miles it is to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
 * Measure the length of Roanoke Island. What can you compare this distance to? Is it about the same distance from Buhler to KC? Or Buhler to Newton?
 * Have fun measuring in Google Earth. Measure anything you can think of changing the units to meters, inches, etc.
