2021 Poster - The Timelessness of Science: Multidisciplinary Inquiry through Archaeology

December 13, 2021 | Public Programs

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.

The archaeology after-school program, geared towards rural middle school students, explores the ability to teach STEM through archaeology. The multidisciplinary nature of archaeology makes it a useful vehicle for teaching a variety of STEM disciplines (e.g., biology, geology, ecology, zoology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc.). Its compatibility with hands-on activities, deep thinking skills, and scientific reasoning matches STEM learning goals.
