A Gem Of A Museum

Year 10C Science visited the North Otago Museum in Oamaru to study the stone tool and ornament collection. There are over 9000 pieces in one collection alone. They are very significant because they represent the earliest settlement of humans in NZ. The geological origins of the material the tools are made from have been the focus of our Science classes recently. The students enjoyed having hands on with examples and seeing the work that goes into making tools like these.
