Description
Class Experience
Students will learn about the field of archaeology through hands-on activities and discussions with the teacher and their peers. They will practice fine motor skills, measuring, drawing, reasoning, and organization.
I have a degree in anthropology! I have been working on archaeological sites since I was 16 years old and have dug on 3 continents. My first training emphasized public archaeology, so teaching others about it is incredibly important to me. I also work in museums as a public educator! I love showing kids the ropes and seeing them learn with their hands!
Students should complete the activities in the Nearpod lesson each week.
This class requires prep ahead of time on the parents' part. PLEASE do not enroll your child if this can't be done, they will not have much to do otherwise.

No live meetings, and no time outside of class.
You will need to prepare a dig box for your student. Archaeologists do not study dinosaurs or fossils, and I cannot provide any expertise in that area. Fossil lovers are absolutely welcome and dig boxes can have them as well! Just be advised I will not be able to discuss dinosaurs with any more experience than a layperson. You will also need to provide your student with items from the trash. Please ensure these are safe for them to handle and be sure to have them wash their hands afterward.
