The Bronze Age: The Indus Valley Civilisation

This lesson covers the Indus Valley Civilisation’s urban planning, undeciphered script, and trade networks. Students engage in activities like mapping out a hypothetical Indus city, analysing the Indus script, and discussing the significance of their trade with Mesopotamia. They also watch videos on the civilisation’s rise and decline, and complete a research project on one aspect of Indus society, such as their economy or architecture.

Taken from a series of 10 lessons on The Bronze Age. They provide an excellent and engaging introduction to the ancient world and addresses many of the founding civilisations, stories and achievements that shape the rest of history.
