In this new OpenSTEM workshop developed and run by our resident archaeologist Claire, we set up a mock archaeological dig in a sandpit (or long jump pit) so that students can get a taste of life as an archaeologist.
History has never been so cool!
Scientific Investigation
Much more than just an interactive experience, we run the archaeological dig as a full scientific investigation. Students cover not only the basics of archaeology, but also how to conduct a scientific investigation.
For more information, see the Archaeological Dig workshop page.
The activities embedded in the programs make the subjects more engaging for the students as well as the teacher.
