Note to parents, teachers, and activity coordinators:
This book is designed around the newest display of the LSU Museum of Natural Science. This new exhibit, entitled "Ancient Mounds and Artifacts," tells you the story of the LSU Indian Mounds and teaches you some basic facts about Louisiana's Native Americans.
The book contains a variety of activities for kindergarten through 8th grade students, but the activities can easily be adapted for children of all ages. Its main purpose is to serve as a complement to the LSU Museum of Natural Science (LSU MNS) self-guided visit or to complement the loan of the "Ancient Mounds and Artifacts" traveling exhibit.
We hope that this activity booklet will help our young visitors get acquainted with our museum and make the most of their visit. Each activity in the book is designed to enhance students' knowledge and skills that are important for elementary and middle-school education. The activities do not require a visit to the LSU MNS.
Thanks are extended to Lessie Freeman, of the Louisiana Department of Education, Social Studies Program Coordinator, who gave her time to review the document and provided feedback.
If you have comments or questions about this activity book, please send us your feedback and suggestions to help us improve the book and make it a better tool for teaching social studies principles to elementary and middle school children. You can also tell us about class projects you did when visiting us at the MNS. We would love to add them to our web section "Educational Activities" with your name and school listed.
The book was funded thanks to a grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents awarded to Dr. Sophie Warny, Dr. Rebecca Saunders, and Mr. Steve Fullen. The content of this book was developed through a collaboration between the LSU/MNS Education Office and the Division of Anthropology.
