[Lesson Name] Mystery Cemetery [Type/General Category] Regular Lesson Simulated Dig [Grade Levels] Grades 5-10 [Description] 
This lesson is perfect for Halloween! Instead of sitting, students move around a small 3-D cemetery of skeletons and burial goods as they analyze and debate the gender, age, and status of the individuals. Then they identify and correlate attributes to group the burials into logical categories. The analysis reinforces critical-thinking skills and illustrates the difference between observation and inference, and reveals the importance of context.
