In this engaging lesson, children are provided with an introductory understanding of the Stone Age, through learning:
-what the ‘Stone Age’ means and when it was;
-the 3 different periods of the Stone Age;
-how people spread across the world in the Stone Age
The learning is guided by a clear and colourful PowerPoint presentation, which guides students through the following step-by-step journey:
-Knowledge harvesting - gauging what children already know about the Stone Age, and gathering what else they would like to know;
-Answering recall questions based upon the areas of history that they have learnt previously that are pertinent to this topic;
-Defining the key terms ‘Stone Age’ and ‘prehistoric’;
-Learning about the 3 periods of the Stone Age: (palaeolithic, mesolithic, neolithic) and placing these on a timeline;
-Learning about how humans spread across the world, from their origins in Africa;
-Completing plenary activities to demonstrate their understanding of each of the concepts learnt in the lesson;
-Self-reflecting on the extent to which they feel they have met the learning objective.
Included is the comprehensive PowerPoint presentation (over 20 slides) and the timeline template (in both Word and PDF)
In the past, I have used this lesson with children in lower KS2 (years 3 and 4) - the key learning is aligned with curriculum expectations for history. All images are licensed for commercial use.
