Artifact Inquiry (6th Grade)

In 6th grade Social Studies we began our study of culture by learning how historians and archaeologists find out information about people who lived long before us.  Students examined "artifacts" and took descriptive notes, in order to try and figure out what each objects purpose could have been.  They will be putting all of this information together to try and make some conclusions about the culture from which these "artifacts" came.

that was a pretty kewl project, it taught me that every culture is different and even small parts of the culture are important in different ways. I also learned that everything u find has a different meaning.
