The document provides a scavenger hunt activity for students to observe and analyze 10 different objects on display at the Pitt Rivers Museum. Students are instructed to view each object from different perspectives such as how it functions, what materials it is made of, and how big it is compared to a scale model. They also identify where in the world each object originated from and choose their favorite to add to a map.
