Homework article

1,400-year-old village — with burialground and colorful ceramics —revealed.

by Moira Ritter

Review - HW

1. What conclusions does the author make about the findings in Mexico?

2. What period does the author state this describes?

3. What is the strongest evidence for this conclusion in your opinion?

For thousands of years, people have recognized the importance of forces.

CHECK:

Even if they do not fully understand them, they have certainly known how to use them.

Select the best evidence to support the statement that ancient civilizations used their knowledge of forces to move massive objects.

Fantastic monuments like the pyramids in Egypt, the statues on Easter Island, and Stonehenge in England were built because our ancestors had developed an understanding of how to use forces to make work easier.

That process of using forces to make life easier continues today.

You can see it in action around you in everything from a can opener to a scooter, from the family car to a pair of scissors

Mayans

  • The Maya city-states of the Late Classic period reached the peak of their power and sophistication in the mid-8th century in Central America.
  • The population of Tikal, for instance, swelled to at least 60,000, in a city spread out over 47 sq miles
  • (76 sq km). Mayan rulers built stone temples, palaces, ballcourts, and observatories, and controlled a trade network stretching from California to South America.
  • Yet the height of the city-states’ glory sowed the seeds of downfall, as the populations overtaxed the surrounding ecology and exceeded their ability to cope with drought. Collapse was just around the corner.
