Archaeologists for the Day

Submitted by Natalie001 on Sat, 04/05/2008 - 1:39pm. Learning Places
Hi my name is Natalie Harrell and I am the STEM Developer for Learning Places. Today was our last day of working on sand acitvities to use with our community sites. The activity was for each of us to pick a container of sand and to search through the sand, using tools we had choosen, for artifacts. Using the artifacts found, we were to investigate and create a story or theory of what we thought happened. The questions to answer were, who died? who was the killer? where did the murder take place? etc. This activity was alot of fun and we all came up with some really crazy stories! We all came to the conclusion that this activity would be one that our community sites would really enjoy; with a few minor changes.

Hi Natalie,

I really liked your blog. I'm glad you're utilizing a new vocab that we introduced during this lab: artifacts. I sure hope the kids this summer will enjoy it as much as you guys did.

Natalie,

Thank you for this well written and detailed blog.  This post really explains what we did today in lab and  why we did it.  I'm sure that you will be able to come up with some age-appropriate changes to the sand curriculum.
