Educators have mixed feelings about Wikipedia. Despite its dubious validity as a scholarly source, it is now the most popular encyclopedia on Earth.

For this exercise, we will use Wikipedia to explore interdisciplinary connections, a practice that many students find challenging. The idea is that you will make connections between 2 seemingly unrelated things. Think of the world as a giant spider web upon which every branch of study is linked. The more creatively you think, the more streamlined your connections will be.

| No Caption Required |
For this exercise, begin on the Wikipedia page of "Thing 1". From there, you are allowed only 6 mouse-clicks (clicking on Wikipedia's blue, embedded links) to arrive at the Wikipedia page for "Thing 2". I have tested each connection and they are all possible to complete in 6 degrees; in fact, many are possible in less. To submit an answer, use this format: Cheese (culinary arts); bleu cheese (culinary arts); Gorgonzola (culinary arts); Italy (geography); soccer (sports). The terms in parentheses represent the discipline through which your thinking is linked. Complete as many as you can.
