- The
Topic:
- Prehistoric
People
|

- Easier - Prehistoric
people lived in the time period before events were
recorded or written down. Woolly mammoths,
saber-toothed tigers, and bears were among the
prehistoric beasts that also roamed the earth.
-
- Harder - The
development of writing enabled people to record and
save information, thus marking the beginning of their
history. That occurred about 5,500 years ago. People
before that are labeled as prehistoric. Scientists
speculate that the first humans on earth lived about 2
million years ago; however, they are probably linked
to prehuman ancestors who lived at least 4 million
years ago.
-
- Evidence of prehistoric people was first
discovered in mid-19th century when sharp-edged stone
tools and fossilized human bones were found and
identified. Since that time, infrequent discoveries of
other fossils of prehistoric people have occurred.
These usually fragmented remains have provided
additional information about early humans and what
they looked like.
-
- Anthropologists whose interest is the study of
human and cultural development join with
archaeologists, zoologists, botanists, geologists, and
other scientists to locate and analyze the physical
evidence; artifacts such as pottery shards, stone
tools, fragmented fossils, and other remains. From
these findings, they must base their conjectures about
early human life. In addition, new evidence continues
to be occasionally discovered, sometimes leading to
questioning or disproval of former theories and giving
rise to controversial debates.

Age Habitats by W.J. Kowalski from The Maze

- Man's earliest ancestors sought protection from
the elements and predators in natural shelters such as
caves and rock overhangs. Gradually, they learned to
improve their caves, but ultimately they began
creating entirely new habitats in locations that had
no natural shelter.

- After visiting several of the
websites, select one or more of the
following projects or activities.
-
- Read A Book About Prehistoric
Life. A few books that you might check
out are (1) Maroo
of the Winter Caves by Ann
Turnbull, (2) Dar
and the Spear Thrower by Marjorie
Cowley, and (3) Boy
of the Painted Cave by Justin
Denzel. Boy of the Painted Cave is
set in the Cro-Magnon era. Tao longs to be
a cave artist, but his talent is viewed as
a curse, making it impossible to be one of
the Chosen Ones. The story of Maroo, a
girl of the late Ice Age, involves her
family group's struggle for survival.
After the death of her father, she and her
brother lead their mother and aged
grandmother to winter camp before the
first blizzards strike. The other book
centers on a boy, Dar, and his coming of
age in a Cro-Magnon clan. Dar leaves his
family in search of the stranger to
exchange his sun stones (fire starters)
for a spear-thrower. After selecting and
reading one of the books, write an
analysis that includes its setting,
identifies the main characters and their
roles and relationships, summarizes the
main activities and the big ideas, tells
the changes that occur for the main
character, and gives your judgment of its
historical correctness, and provides your
opinion of the story. An alternative
activity would be to create a map that
places or follows the main character
through the story. Locate, illustrate, and
label sites where significant events occur
- - remember these can be actual events or
changes in thinking or significant
learning.
-
- Complete A Prehistoric
WebQuest. Adapt or follow the
procedures found at one of the following
webQuest sites:
- 1) Early Man by (Grade 6) B. Swigart
http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/lewis/earlyman/
- 2) History of Early Man (Grade 6)

- 4) Investigating Prehistoric and
Modern Art WebQuest (Grades 6-8) by K.
Ballein
- http://www.berksiu.k12.pa.us/webquest/Ballein/index.htm#Resources
-
- Could You Survive? The
hunter-gatherers of the Stone Age did not
plant their own crops, but lived off the
plants which grew around them, taking
fungi, leaves and flowers, and nuts and
berries. Some are good to eat, but some
are poisonous. To survive as a
hunter-gatherer you have to know which you
can eat and which to avoid. See how you do
with the online quiz at Could
You Survive Today as a Hunter
Gatherer? If you are interested in
more information on the use of plants by
people, you might check on these

- 5) Traditional Herbal &Plant
Knowledge, Identifications
(Links-site)
- http://www.kstrom.net/isk/food/plants.html
- Identify edible plants and fungi that
are found where you live. Put together a
survival guide for your region.
-
- Create A Model of A Prehistoric
Home. Consider the different types of
shelters where prehistoric people lived.
Is it a cave, canyon overhang or alcove,
or a rudely constructed tent or hut? What
types of terrain did they frequent? Is it
a woodland, a valley, hill country? Now
create a model or diorama of an imagined
prehistoric dwelling. Find or adapt the
ideas you find at (1) Dioromas,
(2) How
To Make a Diorama, and (3) Dinosaur
Dioramas.
-
- Compare And Contrast Neanderthal
And Cro-Magnon People. How were these
people alike and how did they differ.
Present your findings in a graphical way
by creating a poster that identifies your
findings. Identify those features and
traits that you believe are upheld by
evidence and those which are more
theoretical. Make your poster as
attractive as possible.
-
- What Would A Cave Kid's School Be
Like? Imagine that you are the
"educational leader" for your prehistoric
cave dweller school. What would be the
curriculum; what material would need to be
covered? What types of instruction would
be used? Would classes be co-ed; both
genders studying the same subjects? Where
would they be taught? Who would be
teaching? How long would classes be held
and for how many years. Be creative, be
specific as possible, give your school a
name, and present your educational plan.
Have some fun imagining!
-
- Create Your Own Rock Art. Visit
several of the rock art sites. Then create
your own art that imitates or is related
to the prehistoric styles. Use a large
sheet of art paper to create a mural panel
of your rock art. An alternative approach
would be to create art on actual rock
material. They do not have to be monolith;
they can be rocks small enough to carry in
your hand. See some ideas found at the
eduScapes NatureScapes project on
Rock
Art.

reading summaries by experts, and creating a cave art
project to gain a beginning understanding of early
man.
