Abstract

Your local cemetery may be an excellent field trip site. For example, I use wooded Timber Creek Cemetery for the following study. Each student collects data from nine different headstones and also plots the location of the same grave markers on a map. The student records the name and sex of the deceased, epitaph and/ or heritage, cause of death if recorded, the condition of the headstone, the kind of rock it is, and anything unique about it.
