Prehistory Interactive Lesson + Printables: Ice Age, Early Humans, Migration Map | Grades 6-8
How did early humans migrate across the Ice Age world?
In this PastPort Classroom interactive Prehistory lesson for Grades 6-8, middle school students explore the Ice Age and first humans by reading first, then doing. Perfect for a Prehistory or early humans unit, this digital social studies activity covers hominids, push and pull migration, Ice Age timelines, and Neanderthal vs Cro-Magnon comparison through Chromebook-friendly map work, match-ups, close reading, and primary source analysis. No prep beyond a short hook and exit ticket - both are included in the pacing guide. About 45 minutes. Student and teacher passcodes included for the PastPort portal.
