- Artifact: an object/material remain made by a human
- Ecofact: organic material with cultural significance
- Gender
- Name two genders: male and female
- How can you tell someone is a boy? (ex. If you saw someone at recess who was a boy, what would they be wearing, what would they be playing or doing?)
- How can you tell someone is a girl? (repeat same questions, leads into gender roles)
- Gender Roles
- Definition: rules for what is normal for how each gender should behave
- What are some jobs that women do?

- Can girls do boy jobs and can boys do girl jobs? (lead into gender equality)
- It’s GOOD that we all know different things as long as we’re allowed to
- IMPORTANT: Remember not to judge! We don’t like for people to judge or make fun of us, so don’t do it to others. It’s not fair.
- Gender Equality
- Definition: equal access to opportunities regardless of gender
- Can women be tough and be soldiers?
- Can men work in a kitchen?
- Valuing that each gender has valuable abilities and can contribute equally
- Activity Supplies:
