Students rotate through mystery stations with replica objects, source images, and short clue cards such as a railroad item, recipe card, trade good, and instrument photo. In teams, they record what they notice first, then make an evidence-based inference about who may have used each item and what it shows about life in Kentucky. The class ends by naming which clues seem tied to change over time.
