FREE SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON - “Ancient Maya Beauty Secrets”

by Skool Aid Products
6th - 9th Grade


The ancient Maya were a complex and intriguing civilization. Even their beauty treatments set them apart from other civilizations. What did the ancient Maya consider beautiful and desirable, was it the same or similar to beauty standards in modern America? This presentation is geared towards getting students discussing and comparing the similarities and differences between us and the ancient Maya.

This 15 slide PowerPoint presentation has presenter’s notes included on 9 slides. Students compare and contrast Mayan beauty standards with their own and discuss the question “if pain and beauty really do go together.” Discussions and writing opportunities are built into the presentation. This entire presentation is a subsection of an in-depth 290 slide thematic PowerPoint Unit presentation on Mesoamerican Civilization Thematic Unit PowerPoint Presentation with 157 slides of presenter’s notes. It covers the Olmec, Maya and the Aztec civilizations and is available for purchase on this site.
