Presentation Transcript

  1. Glacial Movement

  2. Here’s what we already know… • The Ice Age was a period when huge glaciers covered the Earth. • It was hard for things to grow because it was so cold. • Eventually, the temperature of the Earth increased and the ice melted. • This allowed hunter-gatherers to farm and grow crops. • Hunter-gatherer societies then developed from a gathering society to an agricultural society.

  3. Movie • We’re going to watch a video • During this video, pay attention to what it says about glacial movement. • THINK… • How do you think glacial movement contributed to the fact that hunter-gatherer societies transitioned from a hunter-gatherer society to an agricultural society? • How do you think glacial movement benefitted the land?

  4. What we learned • Glaciers… • form rivers • create deposits of rich soils • create plains and hills

  5. Assignment • Choose one of the following: • Write one LARGE paragraph (5-7 sentences) about how climatic changes toward the end of the last Ice Age improved conditions necessary to grow crops. • Draw a picture of glacial movement and how it improved conditions necessary to grow crops.
