Archaeology is a multi-disciplinary, multicultural subject that offers teachers an engaging, hands-on way to introduce students to a variety of topics in science, history, social studies, citizenship and character education. This guide contains detailed instructions for ten activities that teachers, scout leaders, and other educators can use to introduce children to archaeological concepts. The lessons and activities are aimed at students in grades 5 through 8 but can be modified for other students. Each lesson addresses a specific topic, outlines the length of the lesson, the materials required, and provides a glossary and references for further information. The volume also includes background information about archaeology, a brief culture history of Iowa, and a list of archaeological sites, museums, and resource centers in Iowa.
