Beginning of Course Activity: Alien Archeology

Then, the students will complete "part 2," taking their observations and applying them to what it means to be a historian.

Prehistory - Archaeology (How Do We Know What We Know?)
Students will rotate through stations with what might appear at first glance to be random artifacts. Each station has story behind it that connects the items to a story. For example, one is from a teenage sleepover where they were playing video games all night, drank a lot of soda and made a mess. You can set this simulation up in your classroom and have students rotate through each area, or, you can buy some paint sticks and string, and set up archaeological “dig sites” outside (see pic below).

ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION SIMULATION
This is a real-world simulation that I use with my 4th graders, as it goes well with our science and social studies standards--a great way to integrate! I actually have an area behind our school that I stake off, make a grid, and bury various "artifacts" for my students to find. We use tin foil grilling pans with the holes in them for sifting as well as various brushes and small garden tools for digging. I use this to also reinforce the differences between artifacts/fossils and archaeologists

The Virtual Traveler: Virtual Tours for Educators, Students & Armchair Travelers
With the demise of Google VR Creator and Google Expeditions, there is a distinct lack of virtual tours for teachers to use in the classroom. This free resource attempts in some small way to address this lack. This "Lesson Plan" is an always-updated list of virtual tours that I have created during my time as an international school teacher. No more hunting around the internet, only to find that the tour you want has vanished. The tours may be used "as is" in a lesson plan (for example, to examin
