Today, they had groups of kids come in and learn a bit about what archeologists do. They held a mini-lab, where the kids documented "artifacts" found in the field, researched other similar objects to figure out what their artifact might have been used for and then give a sketch of that piece.
Following that, they were taken in groups to create casts of an artifact for them to take home. Then, while it dried, they finished touring the displays in the museum and could even go outside to climb to the top of a piece of history left from the Adena Indians. I remember climbing it as a child...however, I don't remember it being that TALL! Lol!
After his taste of Archeology, he is having a difficult time choosing between it or Paleontology! I told him to continue his love of Paleontology but to just explore more of the Archeology stuff. Maybe he could work on them both. (I am so NOT paying for both college tuition bills! LOL!)
