New York State Test Prep: Social Studies 5 (Grade 4)Life in Colonial America

Let's Travel Through Time to Colonial America

Wouldn't it be exciting to travel through time? Well, let's go...
You are in the early colonial America!

Let's travel to Boston in the year 1680. There you will see what life is like in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

            While paying for a packet of tea with a silver shilling
                given to you by your father, you are caught by a
             British officer, and accused of using an illegal coin.

At the end of the trip, you will have a chance to "Pass the Test of Time," and see if you can remember why the Massachusetts Mint stamped coins with the wrong date.
