Ancients Week 1

Chronos cohort meetings are a diving board into the depths of investigation. Here are some ideas for Ancients, week 1.

Week 1 science includes dissecting wheat berries, grass seeds, millet, barley & oats; make a seed collection or try milling your own flour at home!  Sprout some whole grain wheat or oats and see which part of the seed becomes the plant.  Here's a time lapse video of corn sprouting.  We studied cave paintings; try creating your own paintings in a hallway covered with butcher paper. Practice singing & writing the Greek alphabet. Practice blobbing the continents of the globe as well as a zoomed in map of the Fertile Crescent. We studied the Neolithic revolution; make a shaduf like the first farmers out of household materials.
