Prehistory Summary + English HW

(Copy this into your Science notebook.

Write neatly, with good handwriting. You can use a pen.)

PREHISTORY SUMMARY (6ºA)

The Paleolithic Age started about 1,000,000 years ago when the first humans appeared. These people were nomads, which means that they went from place to place to live. They lived in family groups in caves. They made tools with stones, bones and wood, and they made clothes from animal skins. They hunted animals, fished and gathered plant products. They used first fire and to keep warm. They also began speaking, and they painted pictures of animals, hand marks, etc. on cave walls.

The Neolithic Age started 10,000 years ago (in 8,000 B.C.E.) when people started practicing agriculture and raising animals. Neolithic people began living in little villages. They were sedentary, which means they stayed in one place. They made pottery, which is pots made from clay. They made clothes from plant fibres and wool. They used megaliths, which are big blocks of stone, to make monuments.

The Metal Ages began 6,000 years ago (in about 4,000 B.C.E.) when people started using metals such as copper, tin, bronze and iron to make tools and weapons. They invented the wheel. They started living in towns and the first cities.

Prehistory: Paleolithic, Neolithic and Metal Ages (6ºB)

The Paleolithic Age began about 1,000,000 years ago when the first humans appeared in Europe. They used tools made of stone, bone or wood. They lived in small groups in caves, near rivers and they were nomads, which means they moved from place to place. They made fire to keep warm and to cook. They hunted, gathered food from plants and fished. They painted pictures of animals in caves. They made clothes from animal skins.

The Neolithic Age began about 10,000 years ago, in 8,000 B.C.E. They were sedentary, which means they stayed in one place. They lived in small villages. They invented cheese and pottery (containers made from clay). They built monuments made of megaliths, which are big blocks of stone.

The Metal Ages began about 6,000 years ago, in about 4,000 B.C.E. The people of the Metal Ages used metals for the first time, such as copper, tin, iron and bronze. They started building the first cities. They invented the wheel.

Pre-History to Today + A review of the geography of Spain

Hello, students. I hope you can find these two tasks on our "Google Classroom", but if not, here they are:

1.) Copy this table into your notebook:

(Copy this into the first page of your notebook. Write neatly, with clear handwriting and good spelling. Leave the right side of the table blank: later, we will include pictures, but do not draw any pictures now!.)

From Prehistory to Today

The Prehistoric Period began with the origins of the human race and ended with the invention of writing. There were three periods of Prehistory: the Paleolithic, the Neolithic and the Metal Ages.
The Ancient Period began about 5,500 years ago (3,500 B.C.E.) with the invention of writing and ended with the invasion of Rome by barbarians in 476 C.E.
The Middle Ages began in the 5th centure C.E. and ended in the 15th century with the discovery of the American continent in 1492.
The Modern Age began with the discovery of the American continent in 1492 and ended with the French Revolution in 1789.
The Contemporary Age is the time between the French Revolution in 1789 and the present day (2014).

2.) Begin reviewing the rivers, mountains and coasts of Spain. Here is a very helpful website with games:

Tongue twister: Betty Botter bought some butter...

Betty Botter bought some butter,
But, she said, the butter's bitter;
If I put it in my batter,
it will make my batter bitter.
But, a bit of better butter
will make my batter better.

So, she bought a bit of butter
Better than her bitter butter,
And she put it in her batter
And the batter was not bitter.

So, 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.

Extinction of the Dinosaurs: a new theory

This is a video about what we talked about in 5B's class: a new theory about what happened after an enormous meteorite hit the Earth, millions of years ago.
(We were talking about a "loss of biodiversity" in class: When the dinosaurs died, there was a very BIG loss of biodiversity!)

This video is from a science show called "Radiolab". Usually, it's on the radio. But this is their Live Show, which they did for an audience.
