The New York State Museum is pleased to offer a one-day workshop entitled “Archaeology in the Classroom!”. Archaeology is a science that reaches into many disciplines making it particularly useful for teaching other subjects including the natural sciences, history, math, language arts, geography, social science, and the arts.
This one-day workshop provides educators with examples of activities that can be implemented in the classroom to introduce students to the excitement of archaeology. Information about the advantages of object-based learning, using a museum as an educational resource, and applications to the New York State Learning Standards will also be presented.
