On Saturday March 21 Charles County Public Schools once
again held its History, Industry, Technology, and Science (H.I.T.S.) Expo at St Charles High
School in Waldorf, Maryland. There were forty-five tables and six classroom activities/presentations sponsored
by different organizations and school groups with CCASM having two of
the tables. A lot
was going on with a variety of hands-on activities to engage the
students (and the adults).
CCASM's tables included a display depicting the various
archaeological skills related to
history and science as well as a display with most aspects of an investigation from digging shovel test pits to writing the report. But most of our table space was devoted to two activities. One was called "Archaeologists Dig for Clues" and the other was called "What is it?" We had fun working with the students and their parents as they completed the activities.
