Summer School - Prehistory

We did continue schooling over the summer but with a reduced focus. As we are starting with Ancient History in the fall I thought it would be fun to do a prehistory study over the summer combined with learning about plants.

In learning about about dinosaurs, archeologists, and early humans we did several hands-on activities.

We pretended to be archeologists in our yard:
our dig site

learning how to map out a grid and record what we find
We painted cave drawings using paints we made from grass, berries, and spices:


And we found and tried out stone age tools:
looking for useful stones

chipping away with a "sharp tool"
