What are your go-to resources for teaching BHP outside of standard use resources, and how did you adapt them to fit your classroom needs?

Hey Brad Vonck , I like 3-d "stuff" especially for all the pre-human history. It is so abstract, I like to try to ground a bit more concretely.

One of my now tried and true lessons is a simulation for star and planet formation I do with playdough. Since I teach one-on-one, I do it over and over again.

I keep saying that one of these times I need to get someone to film it so I can post.

That's a great idea, thank you!

Brad Vonck I too use replicas of skulls to teach human evolution. One of the activities my students enjoyed the most was walking on the Laetoli footprints. This is an adaptation of the activity designed by Dr. Larry Flammer that I modified due to time constraints. Working in groups, students decipher the bipedal gait pattern of the footprints and pose hypotheses as they walk on a segment of the trackway reproduced in real scale-size.

For those who are interested here is the activity, this is a copy of the trackway and these are different docs for the activity: doc #1, doc #2, doc #3, doc #4, doc #5

I added some pictures to visualize the activity. 

Love this! Thank you so much!
