As they acquire goods, find food, or migrate, students will encounter challenges that may have been faced by early humans. Simulations can be such fun and meaningful activities, but they often take a lot of work and preparation to set up, which is why we did all of the work for you! You don't need to cut, purchase, or set-up anything to do this simulation, simply present the slideshow to your students and copy or share the handout with them. This simulation features eight different rounds of competition. In each round, students must make a decision about a certain topic or roll the dice to see what they might have experienced during prehistoric times.

What happened before humans started writing down history? What did our ancestors do, what did they eat, and where did they live? Learn all about early humans! **This unit doesn't really cover evolution. There are a few mentions of evolution but I feel that would be better covered in a science unit study. I am working on an elementary aged evolution unit study but it is not ready yet. You can download a free sample of the Ancient Egypt study to determine if this type of unit study is right for you! What's included in the unit study: Literature suggestions Hands-on activities Timeline with Timeline cards Discussion questions Alternate ideas including vocabulary, videos, and games Overview of each Interesting events, people, etc What do you use as a spine? My recommended spine is the Usborne Encyclopedia of World History. However, I also provide page references for Everything You Need to Ace World History in One Big Fat Notebook. There are no required books but it is recommended to pick a book for each unit or section. For a complete suggested book list, visit here: Prehistory Book List Is it secular? Yes! My whole goal was to provide a history curriculum that did not come from a religiously biased point of view and did not rely on any texts with a religious bias. Religion will be covered as appropriate. I.E. We will discuss Egyptian gods and myths. They will be presented in a historically factual manner as appropriate for kids. What age range is this meant for? I have designed this to work with my kids, primarily my elementary age kids. However, I have also provided extra pages for middle school age kids to work on note-taking and writing skills. Any more questions? Send me a message or e-mail me at erin at royalbaloo dot com

INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN IN SCIENCE Mary Anning loved scouring the beach near her England home for shells and fossils. She fearlessly climbed over crumbling cliffs and rocky peaks, searching for new specimens. One day, something caught Mary's eye: Bones. Dinosaur Bones. Mary's discoveries rocked the world of science and helped create a brand-new field of study: paleontology. But many people believed women couldn't be scientists, so Mary wasn't given the credit she deserved. Nevertheless, Mary kept looking and learning more, making discoveries that reshaped scientific beliefs about the natural world. EXTRA INFORMATION Educational backmatter includes a timeline of Mary Anning's life and lots of fantastic fossil facts. DETAILS Dinosaur Lady: The Daring Discoveries of Mary Anning, the First Paleontologist Written by Linda Skeers and Illustrated by Marta Álvarez Míguens.
