Join the Science Education Council of Ohio (SECO) on May 6 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. as they welcome Brad Lepper, Senior Archaeologist with the Ohio History Connection, and Susan Knisley, Director of Interpretation and Education with the National Park Service, for a conversation about the features and cross-curricular connections of Ohio’s first World Heritage Site, The Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks.
This Ohio treasure is a unique, relevant, and local instructional tool which features a multitude of connections to Ohio Learning Standards across the curriculum. The site includes eight monumental earthworks created by Indigenous Americans 2,000 years ago. Its ancient earthen architecture incorporates concepts and skills, from geometry and space science to history, earth science, cultures, and the arts.
As a newly designated United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks is uniquely positioned to engage students in investigation of Indigenous Americans in Ohio and their approaches to many of the same circumstances, situations, and challenges that Ohioans engage with today. This webinar is free to participants, but registration is required.
