Social Studies
In Grades 3 and 4 students are asked to wonder about the land on which they live. They are asked to understand the historic technological practices that have shaped the land, its resources, animals, and humans both before and after the attempted colonization of human beings.

Investigate Your Ancestry:
Use the websites below or ask your parents questions to help gain information and awareness about the year of your birth. Knowing about your own ancestors reminds you that every part of who you are today is because of your ancestors. We owe much gratitude to our ancestors for passing on the skills we need to survive. When you have a greater sense of your roots and your family's past, you can have a deeper understanding of which direction you want your life to take.

Latitude and Longitude
Please watch the video below to acquaint yourselves with how lines of latitude and longitude work to provide us with information about place.

Then, check out this interactive globe below. See if you can find where the Prime Meridian and Equator would be located.

You can then try out this Latitude and Longitude game, where you help a pirate collect "Treasure"!

Try out this handout if you feel that a paper copy might be in order:

Finally, if you feel ready, try playing a game of "battleship" over the phone with a friend. Use the map from the handout above and choose a couple of countries on the map. Instead of battling, perhaps send out some Covid 19 supplies. Your goal is to have them land on the country (or countries) your opponent has selected. The fewer amounts of time it takes to get the supplies to your friend indicates who has won the game. I think this will work... I did just kind of come up with it off the top of my head. If you come up with a better game, let me know and then we can post your game instead!
The Greatest Technology
What do you feel is the greatest technology that has benefited human-kind? Check out some of the links below and decide which technology has most impacted human development. Then create an argument that shows how this technology is better than the others.
Take some time to investigate each of the possible great technologies. Then, once you've really looked into each one, and thought hard and discussed this with someone else either in your family or a friend, begin making your argument. Be prepared to defend yourself and give evidence. Feel free to find other sources to back up your point. Below are a few sites to get you started!
This is not a one time assignment. This will take at least 7-10 days of investigating and then 3-5 days preparing your argument.
Hopefully, we will get a chance to defend our choices in person!
