A Visit from an Archeologist!

Tommy Berger, Sasha Berger's (2-231) dad, came for a fascinating visit last month.  Sasha's dad is an archeologist and professor.  He talked a little bit about evolution and about a dig he went on in Israel.


We looked at artifacts from the dig!



We looked at a replica of a skull. 
Sasha and her family call it Lucy!


A tool made from basalt (a rock that we studied!).



Looking at artifacts!


Artifacts can tell us about people
and how they lived.





We asked Sasha's dad when did he become interested in science.  He said his parents were scientist and they always encouraged him to ask questions. Then they challenged him to find out the answer to the question!
