Discover the past through evidence from an archaeological site in Arizona! Join us for a six-hour pre-conference workshop that will demonstrate how investigating a Native American pithouse by using the tools of scientific inquiry helps students understand past people and cultures. Use a curriculum that aligns with Arizona State Standards to engage students through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Transform your classroom into a community of student archaeologists who ask questions, make observations, and support their inferences with evidence, analyze primary sources, relate culture to their own lives, and passionately share what they learn in a variety of ways.
The first 15 workshop participants will receive a $25 stipend, and all attendees will have a chance to win classroom tools related to the Investigating Shelter curriculum.
The workshop is sponsored by Arizona Project Archaeology and in partnership with the Arizona Rural STEM Summit and supported by the Institute for Heritage Education.
