Bronze Age Lesson Plans for KS2 The plans are taken from our popular Stone Age to Iron Age Resource Pack. Includes full lesson plans with Powerpoint slides and pupil resources/worksheets. 1. Introduction: What does Prehistory Mean? This lesson puts the Bronze Age in context by introducing the period of British history from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. Pupils will make a timeline to set this period into the wider context of British History and they will discover how we break up this period into distinct ages. 2. How did bronze replace stone in the Bronze Age? This lesson looks at the changes between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, including the implications of the discovery of bronze and the process of how bronze was made. Pupils will find out why bronze was so important and they will create their own flowcharts to record the process of how it was made. 3. What do grave goods tell us about the Bronze Age? In this lesson pupils will find out about how people in the Bronze Age were buried alongside some objects that were important to them. Pupils will reflect upon how artefacts found in Bronze Age burial sites can give us information about what life was like in this period. This lesson also introduces the idea that not all artefacts survive over time and invites pupils to sum up their learning by exploring the grave of the Amesbury Archer.
