Pyramids, glyphs and chocolate — discover an amazing ancient civilisation. A one-hour Year 6 history lesson on the Maya, a non-European society around AD 900, ages 10 to 11. The lesson covers: who the Maya were, with a journey to ancient Mesoamerica; cities in the jungle — temples, pyramids and plazas; clever creations including glyph writing, astronomy and Maya maths; the chocolate connection and why cocoa beans were better than gold; and the great mystery of why the cities emptied. Ready-to-teach PowerPoint, no prep.
