7 th Grade Cemetery Unit
Cemetery Trip 2015
This year the Bedford Middle School 7th Graders went to Rose Hill Cemetery in Blockton, Iowa. They explored all of the graves located here and found all sorts of different stones, from granite to marble, and even a couple of markers made from zinc. They came back to school after collecting the data from those stones and began organizing and analyzing their information. From the information, they found they were able to graph out life expectancy, birth and death dates, and other useful information. They also read several different epitaphs found on the stones and came up with some of their own. On their computers they created what they wanted their gravestones to look like. Overall, it was a great afternoon! |
