2 ZING-ZOOM HISTORY TOUR 1 THE OLD STONE AGE Paleolithic Period 2 million to 10,000 years ago The hunters and gatherers lived during the Ice Age. There were at least 10 separate glacial (icy cold) periods with warmer weather between. The people of the Old Stone Age moved from place to place in search of food. They gathered wild plants and hunted animals. They made tools and weapons of stone. They found shelter in caves. 2

3 EARLY HUMANS Homo Habilis or Handy Man lived in Africa about 2 million years ago. They gathered wild roots and berries and may have hunted small animals. Homo Erectus or Upright Man appeared in Africa about 1.9 million years ago. Traveling in groups of 30 to 40, they hunted large animals, and learned to save and use the fires of nature. Homo Sapiens or Wise Man appeared about 250,000 years ago. This group learned to make fire and stone tools. They created and spoke a language. Neanderthal, one form of Homo Sapiens, appeared about 120,000 years ago. They developed a complex culture, believed in an after-life, and buried their dead. Homo Sapiens Sapiens or Cro-Magnon Man, are the ancestors of modern humans. Appearing about 40,000 years ago, they eventually replaced Neanderthals. 3 THE CRO-MAGNON LIFE The Cro-Magnon followed large migrating herds of animals. They made fine stone tools. They tanned leather and stitched it into clothing. They made jewelry, sculptures, and beautiful cave paintings. These Stone Age humans migrated throughout the world. During the last Ice Age, humans crossed the Bering Land Bridge into the Americas and spread throughout North and South America. As the glaciers melted, sea levels rose and closed off the land connections. The warmer weather brought different plants and animals around the world. Forests replaced the plains. The bow and arrow was invented to hunt the new animals of the forests. As fish appeared in the melting streams, and wild grains grew on the land, a new way of life was about to begin. 4

4 ART Cro-Magnon people tried to control their world through magic. They painted pictures of animals on the walls of caves. To light up the dark caves, artists used lamps of hollow stones or skulls, a wick of dried moss, and animal fat for fuel. Paints were made from natural pigments such as red and yellow ochre. These minerals were ground into powder and blended with grease or vegetable gum. Paint brushes were made from animal hair, feathers, clumps of fur, moss, or twigs. 5 ARCHITECTURE As Cro-Magnon followed migrating herds of animals to different areas, they looked for shelter in caves. If there were no caves in the area, they used whatever materials they could find to build a shelter. Sometimes they built tents using branches and animal skins. In eastern Europe trees were scarce, so they used the bones and tusks of the woolly mammoth to build a frame. Mammoth fur was stretched over the frame to create a warm hut. The hearth was the center of every home. Fire provided heat and light. It was also used to frighten away wild animals. 6

5 LITERATURE No one really knows how language began, but spoken language came long before written language. In the evening, Cro-Magnon people would gather around the fire to listen to stories. They told of past hunts and travels and other adventures. They passed on the traditions of their group and the knowledge of the spirits which guided and guarded them. Stories were created to explain the mysteries of the universe. Mythology is a term that means the telling of stories. Over time, myths were taken as true happenings. Today, many people in far different cultures share similar myths. 7 MUSIC No one knows when music began. Clapping and tapping were probably two early ways of making rhythm. Some form of drum was probably used by primitive people. Flutes and whistles made of bone have been found in caves. Bones were also used to make rattles. It is believed that music, like art, was made for magical or religious reasons. People sang and danced when they met with other groups and when they celebrated. 8

It can be a board game, matching game, trivia game, card game any kind of game you want to make. Prehistoric Mammals on Every Continent Neanderthals in Europe and Middle East Homo Sapiens Sapiens in Africa Hunters Take Down Large Mammals Last Ice Age Colonization of Australia Colonization of North America Plants Are Used to Make Medicine People Gather Fruits and Nuts Fire is Discovered Tools Are Made From Stone and Bone Language is Invented Pictures Are Painted on Cave Walls Clothing is Made The Paleolithic Period The Mesolithic Period Create a TV ad to introduce the public to a famous person from this time period. Here are a few suggestions: Neil Armstrong Corazon Aquino Old Stone Age PREHISTORIC GROUPS Choose a prehistoric group: Australopithecus Homo Habilis Homo Erectus Homo Sapiens Neanderthal Cro-Magnon Find answers to these questions: LIFE IN THE OLD STONE AGE Anthropologists have learned about different prehistoric groups by uncovering the clues they left behind. They have unearthed bones, tools, and fossils. We can look at reference books and on the internet to learn about these ancient groups. 1. When did they live? 2. Where did they live? 3. What did they look like? 4. What kind of tools did they make and use? 5. What did they eat? 6. What is the most interesting thing about this group? 7. When did they die out?

9 Old Stone Age ART AND ARCHITECTURE CAVE PAINTING Stone Age artists painted scenes from their everyday lives on the walls of caves. They used the natural curves and shapes of the stone walls as part of their design. The artists used animal fat mixed with natural elements to make their paints. Make a painting on a brown paper bag. You ll need: Brown paper bag, paint (brown, orange, black, red), and a paintbrush Cut the bottom off the paper bag. Crumple the bag, then flatten it. Look at the lines in the bag. Try to find shapes that look like animals or other things in nature. (It s kind of like looking for pictures in the clouds.) When you find picture shapes on the paper bag, use your paintbrush, dipped in black paint, to outline them. Use the other paint colors to fill in the shapes. NATURE S BUILDINGS Stone Age people were nomadic (on the move). They traveled to find food and water. If they couldn t find a cave for shelter, they d have to build a shelter. The shelter would be built from materials they found nearby. Find pictures of Stone Age structures. Set up a table for building. Put sticks, stones, clay, leaves, vines anything you find in nature, on the building table. Use the materials to build a small-scale structure. Old Stone Age ENTERTAINMENT STONE AGE BAND Early music was made by clapping, tapping, snapping, stomping, humming, and whistling. Think of a song everyone knows. Clap out the rhythm. Now add some stomping, tapping, snapping, humming, and whistling. It s a Stone Age band! STONE AGE STORY TIME Paleolithic people probably told stories of their own life experiences, daily challenges and successes, funny stories, sad stories, and stories to explain the mysteries of the Earth. The stories that were interesting or important, were passed on from generation to generation. Stories were also shared with other clans. If there were language barriers, the storyteller might have used sounds and hand gestures. Choose one of these activities: 1. Tell a story that is important to your family; one that will be passed on to the next generation. 2. Write a bedtime story to explain a mystery of the Earth. (Ex. Why do spiders spin webs? Why do plants grow? Why does it rain?) Use your imagination to write the story. You can illustrate with cave drawings. 3. Tell a story about an everyday event without using words. Or tell it in your own made-up language. Are you able to communicate your story to your listeners?

10 PAPER MANNEQUINS Fashions of the Old Stone Age Cut out each mannequin. Use them in your Stone Age display. Old Stone Age Fashion NEANDERTHAL When animals were killed for food, their skin was used for clothing. Old Stone Age Fashion NEANDERTHAL Animal skins kept people warm during the Ice Age. Old Stone Age Fashion CRO-MAGNON People used grease and smoke to tan animal skins to make leather. Old Stone Age Fashion CRO-MAGNON An awl was used to poke holes in leather. Animal tendons were stitched through the holes.

11 How to make it: 1. Print all 3 pages. (Print pages 1 and 2 (back to back) on cardstock. Go to step 3.) 2. Pages 1 and 2 will need to be glued back to back. Use a glue stick to cover the back of this page with glue. Set the back of page 2 on this page and press to hold. Fold in half so page 2 is on the inside. 3. Cut out the structure on page 3. Fold structure in half (back to back). Then fold tabs up. 4. Glue tabs in place on page Carefully close the book making sure structure folds forward. 6. Open the book. The structure pops up.

15 Stone Age Hunter The SYNTHETOCERAS was 6 feet long. The males had a strange y-shaped horn. EOHIPPUS This small horse had toes instead of hooves. AMPHICYON This 8 foot long bear-dog had a diet similar to a bear. The SMILODON or Saber-toothed tiger weighed 300 pounds zing-zoom.com Magical History Tour - Unit 1 - The Old Stone Age Stone Age Hunter THE OLD STONE AGE North American Prehistoric Mammals - Diorama The world looked very different back in the Old Stone Age. Some mammals, like the mastodon, were as big as elephants. And some, like eohippus, were as small as a hound dog. Many plants were huge, too. So were some insects and birds. This 3D scene will give you an idea of the size of humans compared to some of the plants and animals that existed back then. Color and cut out all 5 pieces of the 3D Stone Age scene. Fold each piece up on the dotted lines. Add some rocks and sticks to make the scene more dimensional. MEGATHERIUM was a giant ground sloth. It was 20 feet long and weighed 4 tons. It used its long claws to rip leaves from trees. The GLYPTODON, a relative of the armadillo, was the size of a small car. Some MASTODONS were 14 feet tall. They had shaggy fur to protect them in the cold Ice Age.
