Dust Bowl

Your teachers want you to get a glimpse of what it was like to live during the Dust Bowl. They have locked you in a room and you can't get out until you find all the clues to the locks below


The Dust Bowl occurred during the Great Depression. During it, dust blew everywhere uncontrollably throughout northern Texas, south-western Oklahoma, and Kansas. A lot of these people moved to California in the hopes of a better life.

Living during the Dust Bowl was harsh. People suffered not only from the Great Depression,but also lived with tons of dirt covering everything. Almost everyone covered the bottoms of their windows and doors with cloths to keep out dirt, but dust still flew in. It was a very horrible life for those who lived through this.
