About this activity
A 3D archaeology dig of an early Inuit winter house on an Arctic coast. Students dig a grid layer by layer, turn each object to read the clue drawn on it, sort the evidence into trays, read the house's parts, then judge claims about early Inuit life with one and then two pieces of evidence.
What students learn
- Gather and organize evidence from a dig: sort objects by what they helped an early Inuit family do (A2.2)
- Interpret visual evidence drawn on objects (soot, holes, curves, edges) and in the house's parts (A2.4, A3.2)
- Evaluate claims about how early Inuit lived with a cold, dark land with no trees, using one and then two pieces of evidence (A2.5)
