Project Archaeology - Oriental Institute

Take a leading role in archaeology education. Learn cross-curricular, inquiry-based methods for teaching social studies, science, and health enhancement. In this workshop, you will:

•     Discover the past through evidence from archaeological sites in Mesopotamia. 
•     Engage your students to think like archaeologists as they apply the tools of scientific inquiry (observation, inference, evidence, context, stratigraphy, and chronology) to the investigation of nutrition.
•     Explore contemporary nutrition through student-collected data and design a healthy eating plan for your school based on information drawn from the study of the past.
•     Get certified to teach all Project Archaeology curricula to your peers through workshops, institutes, and job-embedded mentoring.

Open to teachers, museum educators, and archaeologists. Only 40 spots open.
