A place to learn
Pointe-du-Buisson offers a third-cycle elementary program focusing on the social organization of a territory, deepening knowledge of how populations adapt and environments change. Activities guide students in making connections between the territory's assets and constraints, as well as its social organization, continuing the learning they began during their visit to the museum in the second cycle.
During the visit, students become apprentice archaeologists studying past lifestyles. Their imaginations are stimulated as they analyze artifacts from the past and their place in ancient lifestyles. Through comparison and categorization, students look for links between today's society and prehistory, in order to better understand it.
The objectives
