Archaeology is a perfect way to teach kids how to think, how to look at things, and how to pull information from the world around them." - 4th grade teacher, Montana "I think you get to use archaeology to teach civics and character education even. You get a chance to really engage with other people and see things from their perspective." - Middle-school teacher, Kansas
