An in depth dinosaur unit study for budding paleontologists. Learn all about the world of the dinosaurs through books, movies, and activities.
This unit study was designed for my Kindergartener. I took the prehistory unit study that I did with my older kids about 4 years ago and adapted it for her. She hasn't really had much interest or exposure to dinosaurs so I made sure to cover them in our study. My son lived in breathed dinosaurs w
Archaeology is a great way to incorporate Science and History together at the same time. There are so many types of historical artifacts you can learn about that can tie into your history studies. You can learn about archaeologists as scientists and historians, or you can do a unit study on archaeology digs. I love the freedom that homeschooing gives us that we can learn about any subject that interests our children!

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

Check out this free printable Pangaea puzzle for when you are teaching geography. It is super interesting to talk about the possibility of Pangaea. Many secular historians think that a long, long time ago (they think millions of years ago), the continents were not continents but one body; like a supercontinent of land on Earth. While Pangaea is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, the Bible does present the possibility of a Pangaea. Some views really provide a viable explanation for how humanity and animals were able to migrate to continents now separated by vast oceans. It is a very intriguing subject to discuss with the kiddos.
