<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Instructional Objectives
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Students will be able to interpret their discoveries and create hypothesis about these early humans based on these discoveries. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Students will be able to identify the major reasons why these artifacts were created by early man.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Materials
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Bins full of sand with artifacts hidden within (5) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Archeological tools (enough for each team) <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Student journals

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Procedures
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Focus Attention/Motivation: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">"Today is the day you have all being waiting for, we are going to start our dig and make discoveries about are distant ancestors.

Instructional Input & Modeling: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Teams will be assigned to their work site and I will model the techniques we will be using to uncover these artifacts without damaging them. I will also lead them in a mock hypothesis creation activity so that we all know how this process is to work.

Student Engagement/Practice: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">The teams will begin digging and using their journals they will keep track of each artifact by drawing it and noting its location within the bin. After they have found all the artifacts the teams will then discuss and create their hypothesis about the owners of these artifacts. Then each team will organizer their thoughts and notes into a research packet which they will present to the rest of the class over the following few weeks.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Assessment
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Formative: I will walk around to each team and monitor their progress discussing and reviewing their notes. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Summative: The final report of each team's findings will be graded using a rubric.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Accommodations
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> I will supply those students that need them prepared note sheets so that they know what they should include within their notes. I will also supply students with alternate bins if they do not like the sand, are unable to dig, or manipulate the tools.
