Dear Educators,
Greetings from Costa Rica. I would like to announce a
course for teachers for this coming summer in Costa Rica.
Proyecto Campanario, the Institute for Central American
Studies, and Lewis and Clark College have teamed up to offer
an intense "Habitats and Culture of Costa Rica" course for
academic or professional development credit for teachers.
The hands-on course is an environmental overview of present
day Costa Rica that emphasizes the natural history of its
diverse landscapes as well as the language and customs of
the people. Teachers will journey across Costa Rica’s
extraordinary geography: from coral lagoon to once-glaciated
peaks of volcanic rock, experiencing cloud forests, lowland
rainforests, and mangrove swamps. This is a rather intense
"field trip".
You may read more about the course on our web site and/or
write to us for a complete course descriptions and
registration form.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Aitken
Director
Proyecto Campanario

Summer Archaeology Programs
Digging Into the Past at the Pequot Museum
MASHANTUCKET – Summer is the time to dig deep into the past
at the Pequot Museum through a variety of hands-on
archaeological programs for young and old – and for
families, too. Children and adults can unearth artifacts
that are thousands of years old while learning how these
objects are preserved and analyzed in state-of-the-art
laboratories. Staff archaeologists bring the past to life as
they demonstrate how research provides clues to life as far
back as the Ice Age. A number of the museum permanent
exhibits also focus on the process of archaeological research.
Register for any of the following programs by calling
1-800-411-9671.
June 23-27: Archaeology Workshop on Site Excavation: Send
yourself to day camp! Join museum researchers for a week of
hands-on archaeological excavation of a prehistoric or
historic period site on the Reservation currently under
investigation by the Museum Research Department. Work
alongside staff archaeologists to find and identify real
artifacts and to learn field techniques and laboratory
procedures, including identification of plant and animal
remains. The five-day camp runs from 9 to 4 p.m. each day
and is recommended for adults (16 and older), limited to 12
participants $275 per person, $225 for members ($20 fee for

five-day program explores the laboratory process of
analyzing excavated archaeological material from prehistoric
and historic sites. Participants conduct research on a
specific aspect of the site, such as spatial patterning,

offered previously, from June 23-27. The five-day camp runs
from 9 to 4 p.m. each day and is recommended for adults (16

Here is some help!
We suggest going over the questions several times. You
should do this a number of times until you feel comfortable
with all questions.
Time is the single most common fault that all test takers
have trouble with. If you are familar with these study
questions and know them well you will save time without
knowing it.
Make sure you pace yourself during the test. Keep track of
how much time you have used not how much is left.
Usually two choices can be eliminated from each question.
If you can not eliminate any answers skip this question and
come back to it.
When required to read a passage such as in the lab
questions you should scan/skim the passage to get a vague
impression then read the questions. You will be surprised
at how some answers come to you very quickly.
Do not guess. Eliminate 1-2 choices then "pick" out the
best choice. You should be willing to bet money on this
choice.
Scientific sounding answers are better than slang sounding
answers.
Avoid extreme statements such as answers with these key
words
always...never...completely...
If the answers contain two answers that are opposite from
each other then one of these is usually correct.
These are some sample TIPS and you can get the rest of the
TIPS from
[link removed]
or the BIOLOGY study guide is ready!
