    This lesson is part of the CyArk on-line lesson plans (http://archive.cyark.org/education-lesson-plans) and is appropriate for middle school students, although the activity can easily be adapted for use with various educational levels. Students will use real archaeological data to create a scale model of Tikal Temple 1, a Mayan pyramid, using sugar cubes, then simulate and investigate the process of erosion on archeological sites. The lesson includes clear learning objectives, materials needed, detailed procedures, and alignment with the California State standards. The included links are functional and support the lesson’s objectives. This lesson represents excellent integration of social science, investigative science and the use of technology.
