Dead Sea Scroll Workshops at Pacific Science Center
Discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls Family Workshops
This Fall and Winter, families can enjoy two workshops at Pacific Science Center investigating the archeology of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The workshops were developed by Kristen Clapper Bergsman of Laughing Crow Curriculum.
Life Long Ago
(geared toward 5-7 year olds and adult chaperone)
Journey back in time and bring to life the stories of the Qumran community, located near the Dead Sea Scrolls discovery site. Compare life today to life long ago as you decipher the clues left by the everyday artifacts found in the Qumran ruins and explore the story of the scrolls themselves. Become an archaeologist and reconstruct the pieces of a clay scroll jar, then become a scribe to create your own scroll to take home!
Piecing Together the Past
(geared toward 8-12 year olds and adult chaperone)
Archaeology is about piecing together fragments of the past to develop an understanding of life long ago. Explore the process used by scholars and scientists to reconstruct fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls in an effort to understand their meaning. Assemble documents from a pile of “scroll” fragments, and reconstruct a clay “artifact” to take home. Through these hands-on activities, paint a picture of the past.
