It involves 6 steps: 1) discussing what students know about history and prehistory, 2) exploring Stone Age vocabulary and daily life through matching exercises, videos, and worksheets, 3) visiting a museum to experience Stone Age artifacts firsthand, 4) having students explain fossils they created, 5) extending learning with a survey about important Stone Age discoveries, and 6) evaluating students by having them create a display with information about Stone Age food, clothing, homes, tools and discoveries.

5 EXTEND
Survey: What was the most important discovery in the Stone Age?
We ask to other students, teachers, families, as many people answer the
