Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to suggest what historians can learn about the past from primary sources showing cave paintings from the Stone Age, a shared reading text to identify and describe how people made and used tools during the Stone Age and a template to record the materials and function of an artefact that could have been used as a tool in the Stone Age.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how people in the Stone Age produced and used different tools for a range of functions to support their communities.

This lesson is part of a history scheme of work to get the children to investigate and record how different aspects of life in prehistoric Britain developed and changed during the Stone Age. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
