Archaeology Webquest By: Mrs. Rigdon
Introduction • This web quest was created to help you learn more about our STEM exploration of archaeology. You will learn what archaeology is and will create a product to share what you have learned. You will be asked to journal your thoughts as you research the topic of archaeology.
Task 1 • Research archaeology using the following websites. Record in your archaeology journal the answers to the following questions. • What is archaeology? • Create a t-chart or venn diagram that compares and contrasts archaeology and anthropology. • What do archaeologists learn from digs? • How do archaeologists know whether humps and bumps on the earth’s surface are possible areas to excavate further? • Where all does archaeology take place? (Really think about this!)
Task 2 • Create a poster or paper brochure. • What the product must include? • A title • Answers to each question from task one • Share any interesting facts that you may have found • Be sure to cite your sources (students from last year)
Process • Go to the Dr. Dig site and learn what is archaeology and other interesting facts. • http://www.digonsite.com/drdig/general/7.html • http://www.digonsite.com/drdig/general/6.html • http://www.digonsite.com/drdig/digging/12.html • Go to www.kidsclick.org to learn more about archaeology. • Go to Britannica and research archaeology. • Now that you have researched it’s time to plan out your product. Use the planning sheet to help you plan your project.
Evaluation • Please see the handout Archaeology Webquest rubric to see how you will be evaluated for this project.
Conclusion • Congratulations! You have completed your first project REACH project. Hopefully, you have learned more about archaeology and are ready to begin your quest as archaeologists.
