Draw or upload an artifact you might leave behind for archeologists of the future to find.
What artifact did you leave behind for archeologists to find? Why?
Type in at least 2 sentences.
What stood out to you the most when you looked at the image above?
Match each description to a hominid.
Homo Habilis | Homo Erectus | |
|---|---|---|
Means "Upright Man" | ||

What continent are Homo Habilis found?
In the past we thought that [] (cavemen) were not humans but a separate []. Like how dogs and cats are different species. Now we know [] and humans are are two different [] which could breed and live together. Like how Chihuahuas and Labrador Retrievers are different looking subspecies but still dogs. Today many types of humans have been discovered! Homo Sapiens Sapiens, Neanderthals, Denisovans and probably many more we don't even know about yet!
Upload a photo of a Homo Saipen Saipen you found in the wild!
(Selfies or photos from Google.)
You will soon be assigned a team!
Team Hunters or Team Gatherers.
Each team will have a ...
Leader - who picks who does what job, makes sure teammates are working, and helps others.
Paper Cutter - who is in charge of using scissors safely.
Folder - who is in charge of folding papers properly.
Time Keeper - who tracks the time to make sure the team doesn't run out of time and helps others.
Hunters will need one paper, two papers of another color, and when your ready to glue, ask Mr. Bergh.
Gatherers will need three different colored papers and when your ready to staple, ask Mr. Bergh.
Watch the paper spear video below if your a hunter.
Watch the paper basket video below if your a gatherer.
You will also see RED "animals" to be hunted by hunters.
Around the room you will see GREEN "vegetables" to be gathered by gatherers.
Once teams are quiet and understand the rules each team will try to find one food for each team member. No food? Your team member "dies" and has to sit down in their seat while others survive.
At the end of each round the food will be collected, Mr. Bergh will take some food out, and those who "died" will be allowed to hide what's left around the room for the next round.
If only one person is left alive in a team, they are allowed to join another team, doesn't matter if they are hunter or gatherer. Keep playing until we run out of time or only one team is left.
Write out answers to these questions on a sheet of poster paper. Staple your spear or basket to it. Draw on the poster images of your "tribe" hunting and gathering.
