Student Archeology Programs

Archeology: It's all about questions, clues, detective work, digging in the dirt and solving mysteries!

 

Coming soon: New Archeology Learning Trunks for Hawai'i Island Teachers!
"Wahi Pana Nā Mea Makamae (Legentary Places, Cultural Treasures)" for students in grades 3-4 and "Nā Mo'olelo o Ka Po'e Kahiko (Stories of the People of Old)" for grades 5-8. Please contact us for more information about this new curriculum.

 

Available now for grades 6-12 is the video learning series "Pacific Clues", a joint project of PBS Hawai'i and the Hawai'i Department of Education. "Pacific Clues" visits nine Polynesian archeological sites to see how archeologists find clues to help them unlock the mysteries of the early inhabitants of several Pacific islands.

Would you like to see one of the video segments now? Pacific Clues: Footprints in the Lava is an intriguing 10 minute look at the connections between science and culture as witnessed in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Also view the companion inquiry-based student worksheet (pdf-170KB) to help your students learn to think like an archeologist. If you'd like to see all of the segments, we have the complete DVD series available for teachers on loan.
