Students identify which level of government provides various services. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank problems about state highways, police department funding, and citizenship requirements for voting. Part B is a matching activity pairing public library, state highways, police department, and state parks to local or state government.
Sorting services by government level helps students see that different levels of government have distinct, non-overlapping responsibilities.
