"Archaeology: Why it Rocks"

“Archaeology: Why it Rocks”

Cache Valley kids, parents and teachers are invited to the premier screening of "Archaelogy: Why it Rocks," an educational video and interactive CD-Rom about archaeology. The screening will be in Old Main 252 on December 10 at 6:30 p.m. with free parking available in the parking lot immediately south of Old Main.

The 20-minute video, created by Utah State archaeologists and media experts and narrated by students from Edith Bowen Laboratory School, explains archaeological terms and how archaeologists excavate and interpret an archaeological site. The CD-Rom complements the video, providing opportunities for kids to learn about archaeological terms interactively.

Kids in second through sixth grade and their parents will enjoy the materials (and refreshments!), and teachers are urged to attend the screening to assess the video for possible classroom use.
