Federal vs State Power | Federalism Interactive Civics Lesson | Grades 6-8
When state law and federal law collide, who wins - and why?
This interactive lesson takes grades 6-8 through American federalism: delegated, reserved, and concurrent powers, the Tenth Amendment, the Supremacy Clause, and landmark rulings like McCulloch v. Maryland and Gibbons v. Ogden. No prep beyond a short hook and exit ticket - both are included in the pacing guide. One class passcode opens the PastPort portal. Student and teacher passcodes are separate.
