One of our field trips this year was to Bodo. We were able to extend our learning about the environment here in ALberta, about the historical importance of studying the land, and about Aboriginal life in the area as the first people to live on the land. We got to have a good look at real bison bones and learned about what they can tell us. Students got to see different artifacts like rock and pottery that the centre has found over the years. They got to try their hand at uncovering artifacts like the above and bone and petrified wood, in a makeshift dig site. After lunch, we got to try our hand at throwing a traditional hunting spear. We then took a trip out to the fields where students got to see a dig site in progress and hear stories of cool finds like skulls! We even got to try our hand at surveying, and found many real artifacts peeking the surface of the land.
