- Who might have used it?
- Where in the world might it be from?

This week, we have been practicing skills that archeologists use at a dig site. For example, we learned the difference between an observation and an inference by looking at photos of artefacts. As a group, we discussed what we noticed about them (observation) and then as many of the following questions as we could (inference):
Thanks to Madison for sharing her work below... Today, we practiced using these same inferring skills to decipher who might have owned a pile of recycling. We will continue to practice making inferences, not just in Social Studies, but in everything we are learning about. We're looking forward to our field trip to the museum where we can learn more about archeological digs and how archeologists make inferences about the past. This will help us learn about important differences between historical time periods and how ancient civilizations have contributed to our modern day lives.
