Social studies is the "integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence," as defined by the U.S. American National Council for the Social Studies. Social studies is most commonly recognized as the name of a course or set of courses taught in primary and secondary schools or elementary, middle, and secondary schools, but may also refer to the study of aspects of human society at certain post-secondary and tertiary schools around the globe. Many such courses are interdisciplinary and draw upon various fields, including sociology but also political science, history, economics, religious studies, geography, psychology, anthropology, and civics. 

Use these literature guides, maps, and technology resources to teach students about geography, government, diversity, families, and religion. You'll find biographies of famous mathematicians, scientists, athletes, civil rights leaders, and more!

As you move through the courses we suggest you start with the first one and move from section to section in order to get the best understanding of the material and in keeping with the chronology.  This course has been designed to be progressive as the student moves forward in the historic timeline.  If you have a particular interest of course the option is there for you to go directly to that area of study.  In each section we have presented some photographs of facial reconstructions from archeological discoveries.  Take a moment to abosrb the variety of distinct features throughout human history.  We feel many myths exist today regarding these very human skulls which can be dispelled by simply looking at their reconstruction.  Keep in mind while the science of facial reconstruction is very advanced there is still interpretation to to certain things such as facial hair, skin color, eye color and other features that may be added to these.  Still it is a wonderful way to take a look at human history.
