Early Human Museum by Mariah and Maya G



The 6th graders at Leading Edge Academy have been working on their very own museum. The museum is an Early Human museum, that has many replicas of artifacts dating back to almost 6 million years ago.

This museum was not an easy task. The process was long, hard, and difficult. First, they had to choose what group they were going to make artifacts of. Some classes had assigned groups, others had students choose. Next, you brainstormed what you will be making. Each group was required to have a digital portion, and many did presentations. After that, came the hardest part of the project.

Lots of groups decided to make amazing replicas of tools, food and even houses! One group even made a costume! It was very accurate! Bows and arrows, spears, fires, and more were all created! The hardest part was making the dioramas. Some of the students made diorama inside of boxes. The early farming town of Catal Huyuk was made by a group of students, by wrapping boxes with paper, hot glueing them together, and painting it. The Australopithecus group made a diorama of life back then inside a shoe box. In the end, all the groups projects turned out amazing!
