Astronomical observatories “use context clues”  Did you know that Native Americans made long before Europeans arrived?  Did you know that Native Americans made astronomical observatories long before Europeans arrived?  Some astronomical observatories are located in Missouri. -places used for observing the sky -places used for observing the sky

Archaoastronomy “use context clues  Archaeoastronomy is a very new field that combines archeology with astronomy.  With archaeoastronomy, we are beginning to understand how people of the past observed the skies. - the study of ancient astronomical observations

Carbon Dating “use context clues” SSSScientists use carbon dating to find out a material’s age. TTTThe calculations agreed with carbon dating for the site. UUUUsing carbon14 to find out the age of a material.

Horizon “use context clues” BBBBright stars that shine briefly on the horizon occur before and after the summer solstice. AAAA star appears to not move because it’s fixed on the horizon. - a line formed in the distance of the Earth and sky.

Petroglyphs “use context clues”  Scientists believe that cavemen drew petroglyphs in caves.  You can find petroglyphs in the museum. - a drawing or word carved into rock.
