This learning resource delves into the Ice Age and its significant impact on early human life. It explores how the formation of land bridges allowed for migration, the tools utilized by early humans like the Clovis Point, Stone Scraper, and Bone Needle, and how changing climates influenced hunting practices. Students are encouraged to engage with activities such as matching tools to their uses, understanding the effects of the Ice Age's conclusion on food sourcing, and illustrating irrigation systems that early farmers developed to sustain their crops. The resource fosters a deeper understanding of how ancient people adapted to their environments and organized their livelihoods.
