The Panther Dig: A Vibrant, Interdisciplinary Teaching Model Using a Simulated Archaeological Dig
Abstract
The Panther Dig is an interdisciplinary, project-based learning initiative implemented with ninth-grade students at a rural public high school in northeastern Kentucky. Designed as a simulated archaeological excavation, the Panther Dig immerses students in authentic disciplinary inquiry across social studies, science, mathematics, English language arts, library media, and visual art. Developed collaboratively by faculty across multiple departments, the Panther Dig reflects a commitment to vibrant, experiential learning that mirrors real-world problem solving and deeper learning. The project emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and transferable skills while remaining tightly aligned to Kentucky Academic Standards and Next Generation Readiness Assessments.
