| Abstract | Children often associate the study of bones with dinosaurs or crime scenes. This unit introduces students to "zooarchaeology," the study of animal remains from archaeological sites. Students in grades 3-5 engage in hands-on activities examining bones, shells, and other "hard parts" of animals. They use their observations as a starting point for developing science process skills or practices to draw inferences about past human behaviors and the connections between people and animals across the ages. This project builds on several previous curriculum models that suggest that bones provide a nonintimidating and practical way for students to enter the world of scientific practice (Johnson and Kassing 2002). These lessons may help students connect to the work of scientists, giving them practice developing questions, collecting data, and formulating inferences.
