Virtual Field Trip

description

How do historians unravel mysteries? What do objects tell us about how people lived long ago? By participating in interactive discussions and hands-on activities, students learn why the investigative skills of observation, hypothesis, and analysis are important in understanding history. Choose from four History Mystery topics: Colonial Life, Health and Healing, Rural Home Life, and Tools and Gadgets
