In unit 1 we learned about ancient civilizations like Egypt, China, Mesopotamia, and India. We learned about how each civilization lives differently. We also did projects like creating what they lived in with bamboo and mud. We made bricks with mud and water. We were split into groups and did presentations on our assigned ancient civilizations. We did a project with playdoh on what they use to survive. We also act out what philosophies we were assigned.
Columbian Exchange
The columbian exchange is when the eastern and western hemisphere exchange things such as animals, plants, diseases, and food. For the projects we were assigned to a hemisphere and were able to make a dish that came from our assigned hemisphere. This project relates to the columbian exchange because my group (western hemisphere) made squish , fried potatoes,and guacamole dip which all of these ingredients come from the west. We were only able to use ingredients from the western hemisphere.
