Focus on Archaeology

Welcome to our In the Know topic for January, Focus on Archeaology. You may wish to take a look at other grade spans and recommend articles to students that are below or above their grade’s reading level.

Grades K-1 ask, What Is Archaeology? A Spanish translation can be found here.

Grades 2-3 explore the archaeological finds in Crystal River State Park in Florida. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.

Grades 4-5 investigate an amazing archaeological find in Lake Mendota, Wisconsin.  A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
