PB&J How (and why!) Archaeologists Find Sites
Time: 1:15 pm til 2:15 pm
Location: Franklin T. DeGroodt Public Library
Description: FPAN will be giving a talk to a class of elementary students.
A classic! Students systematically excavate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to explore the concepts of stratigraphy and survey, emphasizing how archaeologists use the scientific method in the field. If Power Point is available, this activity can include pictures of real tools, fieldwork, and sites to enhance learning.
This event is closed to the public. Please visit our presentation page within our website to submit a speaker request form if you are interested in setting up a talk!
