Ross Elementary Sixth-Graders Create Ancient Civilizations Museum orth Hills School District
NORTH HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS
Ross Elementary sixth-grade students transformed the building into an Ancient Civilizations Museum welcoming students from throughout the building as well as family members .
As part of their social studies classes , sixth-graders learn about various cultures and time periods from throughout human existence including those in Greece , Rome , Mesopotamia , Latin America and during the Middle Ages .
To create the museum , each student chose a topic that is relevant to one of the time periods . Topics range from buildings , people , activities or objects . Students research their topics , draft essays , present to their classmates and create 3-D models that serve as a visual representation of their projects .
During the museum , student visitors stop by each exhibit and hear about the display and topic from a sixth-grade presenter before having their museum “ passport ” stamped .
