The excavation activity in our schoolyard has been a success. Students were engaged and having fun digging in the soil to find some evidence of past civilization. This simulation triggers their inquiry about how people value the history of the world to preserve the past civilization evidence.
After the activity students should do a reflection about this activity. Below are some questions students need to include as part of their reflection.
