In this activity, Christina Elson, an archaeologist from the American Museum of Natural History, guides learners as they investigate an "artifact" and record their observations in a field journal.

In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.

In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

In this experiment, learners float colored ice cubes in hot and cold water.
