All the best for your new career
there is a great experiment you can do with layers of different coloured soils in a clear jar with some tasty veg on top just add a couple of worms and see how they mix it all up. It's out there on the net.
Archgirl 19 is right contact units and museums there is often tons of stuff sitting basements that could be really useful as teaching aids.
Have a look at YAC they have some great activities for Children
There are some excellent American webs site for schools archaeology along with our own BBC
I have found that the good old sand pit excavation goes down a treat even drawing on graph paper using a planning frame is an activity children can do if you keep it simple
The only limit to the teaching resource that is archaeology is your imagination in using it. Though do try everything yourself first from the child's perspective and don't forget health and safety considerations for children are different from those for adults.
Have fun:face-approve::face-approve:
