Archaeology

Still having fun with learning more about archaeology...the first part of our world history book. We are also learning a bit about prehistoric man and his world.





The girls picked out the BBC series Walking with Prehistoric Beasts at the library. We watched the entire thing in one sitting, they were enjoying it very much. The Discovery Channel website also has a page on the show. The girls tried their hand at being a paleontologist with this game.

We read the book Archaeologists Dig For Clues. Georgia said she wants to be an archaeologist.

We checked out the American Museum of Natural History's Archaeology site for kids. There we read about Piecing Together History, played the Tools of the Trade game, did the What's This Quiz, and took an Archaeology Quiz.

The girls also played the Mythic Mystery Map Challege and made some masks and puppets that they printed from the site. They chose the Barong, Dragon, and Pegasus.

We also checked out the Kids Dig Reed website and started learning about surveying a dig site.
