In this lesson, children will learn what Stonehenge is and where it was discovered. They will learn how it was likely built and all about its structure. They will be given instructions on how to create their own Stonehenge from salt dough as well as looking at theories as to why it was built as we don’t actually know!

Finally, they will carry out a debate on the mystery of why Stonehenge was built, arguing their theory over all of the others.

All resources for this lesson are provided.

This lesson is intended for KS2 but can easily be modified to suit KS3.
