The Line You Drew Was the Wrong Line

Nothing Was Watching · Page 1 of 4

Name Date
DIRECTIONS: Your history line held all 300,000 years of people. How much longer is the Earth's story?

1.All of human history — your old line300,000 years

Now Draw It Properly

Nothing Was Watching · Page 2 of 4

DIRECTIONS: New scale: all 300,000 years of people = 1 centimeter. How long is the Earth's line?
  1. If 300,000 years is 1 cm, how many centimeters is 4,540 million years? Then turn that into meters.
    Show your work
  2. Is there anywhere in your house that long? Where would you have to go to draw it?
Check: about 151 meters, a football field and a half. All of writing is the last sixth of a millimeter.

Where Things Land on It

Nothing Was Watching · Page 3 of 4

DIRECTIONS: Place each event on the 151 m line, from the left end where the Earth forms: (4,540 − date) ÷ 4,540 × 151 m.
#EventMillions of years agoHow far along the 151 m line (meters)
6.The first life3,700
7.Oxygen appears in the air2,400
8.The Cambrian explosion539
9.The first dinosaurs230
10.The asteroid, and the end of the dinosaurs66
  1. The dinosaurs are the thing most people picture when they hear "long ago". How much of the line is BEFORE the first dinosaur?

What Was Happening in the Empty Part

Nothing Was Watching · Page 4 of 4

DIRECTIONS: Did nothing happen in the long empty part of the line? Read, then answer.
For the first 3,000 million years, everything alive was a single cell. About 2,400 million years ago, living things began putting oxygen into the air, and it poisoned most of what was alive.
  1. Somebody says "the Earth is really old — like, dinosaurs old." Using your line, explain what is wrong with that sentence.
  2. Why do you think almost everything you have been taught about the past sits in the last few centimeters? Give a reason that is about EVIDENCE, not about importance.

Before Anyone Sailed

Grade 5 · First peoples · Page 1 of 3

Name Date
DIRECTIONS: Hundreds of nations lived here, each fitted to its own land. Read, then fill in the table.
Where they livedWhat the land is likeHow they got foodWhat their homes were like
1. the far north (Arctic)
2. the northwest coast
3. the dry southwest
4. the Great Plains
5. the eastern woodlands
6. the southeast

The Land Does the Explaining

Grade 5 · First peoples · Page 2 of 3

DIRECTIONS: Give the reason for each answer on page 1. It is nearly always the land.
People build with what is there: wood where forest was thick, earth or hide where there were no trees. Where corn grew, people stayed and built towns; where the food moved, so did they.
  1. Why did people on the Plains live in homes that could be taken down and moved?
  2. Why did people of the northwest coast build large permanent wooden houses?
  3. Corn, beans and squash were grown together across much of the continent. What does growing your own food let a people do that hunting alone does not?
  4. Nations traded shells, copper, obsidian and food over thousands of miles. What does that tell you about how connected they were?

Reading a Place

Grade 5 · First peoples · Page 3 of 3

DIRECTIONS: Given the land, work out the life.
A place you have never heard of. Wide grassland, no trees for a hundred miles, hot summers, hard winters, and enormous herds of grazing animals passing through twice a year.
  1. What would people there eat, and how would they get it?
  2. What would they build houses out of, and would those houses move?
  3. Would they be likely to have large permanent towns? Say why.
  4. Many of these nations still exist today, with governments, courts and members. Why do you think so much teaching about them is written as though they only existed long ago?

How Many Weeks

Money that waits · Page 1 of 2

Name Date
DIRECTIONS: How many weeks of saving for each? Round up: part of a week is still a week.
What it isPriceSaved each weekHow many weeks?
1. A game$45$5
2. A pair of trainers$60$8
3. A bike$130$10
4. A book$12$5
Say the number out loud. Thirteen weeks is a season: start in the cold, finish in the warm. "Can I afford it?" and "Will I wait that long?" are different questions, and only the second is hard.
The bike, one box a week. Cross one off each week.

How Many Weeks — Making It Shorter

Money that waits · Page 2 of 2

  1. There are only two ways to make the wait shorter. Write both of them down.
  2. The bike is $130 and you save $10 a week. Somebody offers you $4 a week for walking their dog. How many weeks now — and how many weeks did that save you?
  3. A $45 game and a $12 book, at $5 a week. Say how many weeks each, and then say something true about buying the book first.
  4. Somebody says "I will just get it now and pay it back later." Using the weeks, say what has actually changed and what has not.
