The American Museum of Natural History offers a variety of helpful resources to aid K-12 educators teach human origins and evolution. Educators may want to start by downloading the Educator's Guide and one of three activity guides, divided by grade level (K-4, 5-8, and 9-12). Here, instructors will find a variety of "pre-visit" activities designed to help students prepare for a museum visit; however, many of these activities can also be adapted for use in any science classroom around the globe. Meanwhile, the More Resources for Educators section of this website offers materials that can be used to enhance classroom instruction or as study resources for use outside of the classroom. These resources include a number of hands-on activities, a useful human origins glossary, a list of recommended books (for both children and adults), and links to teaching resources from other institutions.
