Lesson plans for teachers and educators will help ensure that young people receive factual information about archaeology and underwater cultural heritage. Archaeologists can work with local teachers to develop lesson plans featuring the project, including topics such as the scientific method, survey strategies, issues of working in an underwater environment, site identification and history, conservation and the chemistry of waterlogged artefacts. Curricula can be produced that will fit into existing classroom procedures when working with teachers who are familiar with educational standards for the area, state, or country. Because of archaeology’s appeal and inter-disciplinary nature, and especially the allure of shipwrecks and sunken sites, lessons that are engaging and entertaining, as well as informative and educational, can be developed.
