The document discusses the origins of Lego blocks. It describes how Ole Kirk Christiansen, a Danish carpenter born in 1891, started the first Lego wooden block factory in 1934. Lego blocks come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and were designed to be played with to expand a child's imagination through creative building. Legos have become popular worldwide with over 250 different pieces that can be used to build massive creations.

cherokee houses
Cherokee houses were dome-shaped structures made from river cane, plaster, and thatched roofs. In the summer, Cherokee lived in square structures with bark siding, while in winter they lived in partially underground circular dome houses called asi to stay warm. They obtained water from nearby rivers and cooked over fireplaces, leaving holes in ceilings for smoke to escape. Their sanitation practices kept living conditions fairly clean. Doors were made of wood and bark, windows had small flaps, and roofs were thatched bark. These house styles could still work well in Caldwell County today due to their efficient use of basic materials.
Colonial chores
Colonial families made many household items by hand as chores, including candles by repeatedly dipping wicks in melted wax and fat, rag rugs by braiding old clothing, and soap by a dangerous process done once or twice a year. Other chores were crafting furniture and goods, tanning animal hides into leather for clothing and other uses, keeping a fire lit in the fireplace for warmth and cooking over hanging pots rotated by a clock jack, and making clothing that took about a week per piece. Food was also preserved through drying, pickling, and storage in ice houses.
Homes
Ancient Egyptian homes ranged from simple one-room mud brick homes for peasants to larger limestone homes for nobles that sparkled, with all using stone tables for eating, games, and writing. Mud bricks were the basic building material, made by hardening mud into brick shapes, while nobles lived in limestone structures distinguished by their shiny walls.

The document provides background information on several topics related to Danish culture, history and society. It discusses the origins of Lego and how it began making bricks in 1958. It also describes Anton Berg's marzipan bread, the Danish flag Dannebrog which fell from the sky in 1219, the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, the Royal Danish Guards, and several Danish letters and the words that contain them.
Ancient houses
Ancient houses differed based on location and social class. In Mesopotamia, most houses were 2-3 stories high and shared walls. They were made of mudbricks or stone due to lack of wood. In Egypt, houses were constructed of clay and the wealthy had larger homes. Greek houses separated men and women and had tile roofs and floors. Modern Canadian houses can withstand various climates and temperatures and are made for families of all sizes with fire safety in mind.
Whitethorn Woodcraft in The Simple Things magazine
Glenn and Kelley run Whitethorn Woodcraft out of their home on a nature reserve in Northern Ireland. Glenn makes traditional Irish hedge chairs and other woodcrafts using traditional tools and methods. He allows the natural characteristics of the wood to dictate the design rather than forcing a preconceived design. Glenn hopes to offer courses to teach others traditional woodworking skills.

Ancient Civilization Housing by Sam
Ancient Mesopotamian houses called ziggurats were made of mud bricks dried under the sun and were roughly 90 square meters. Egyptian houses were also constructed of mud bricks and called pers, sometimes resembling mansions with 25-30 rooms. Greek homes lacked a specific name but used sun-dried mud bricks and terra cotta or wooden roofs and were one to two stories tall. Modern Canadian houses include duplexes, apartments, and detached homes made of materials like wood, stone, metal and glass with civilians as residents, and duplex prices can reach millions depending on location.
Daily life project
Houses in ancient Mesopotamia were made of mud bricks or sandstone blocks and had at least 3 stories. The wealthy had wider homes than the poor. Roofs were used as additional living spaces. In Egypt, homes were typically made of sun-dried bricks and included separate spaces for families, guests, and slaves. Canadian houses today usually have bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and are typically made of materials like wood, brick or drywall. Ancient Greek homes centered around courtyards and separated living spaces for men and women.
HALLOWEEN PRESENTATION (by Abigail)
Halloween originated 2000 years ago in Ireland, England, and Northern France as part of the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. On October 31st, the Celts believed the ghosts of the dead returned to earth and people wore costumes to avoid being recognized by ghosts. When Irish immigrants fled to America due to the potato famine in the 1840s, they brought their Halloween traditions with them. Today in the US, Halloween involves children dressing in costumes and going trick-or-treating in neighborhoods to collect candy, while carving jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins and attending haunted houses or parties.
Ancient Mesopotamian Housesppt
Ancient Mesopotamian houses, called ziggurats, were built from mud bricks and plaster in the fertile region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers now known as Iraq. The houses had flat mud roofs that were sometimes used as an additional living space. Heating and cooking was done using open fires on hearths, grills, or racks inside the homes which lacked windows and modern sanitation. While suitable for the ancient Mesopotamian climate, the original house design would not work well today in Caldwell County without modifications like windows, heating, air conditioning, and improved sanitation.

People live in a wide variety of houses around the world depending on factors like climate, location, culture, and resources. Houses described include igloos made of snow in the Arctic, mud and grass huts in Africa, stilt houses over water in tropical rainforests, cave dwellings in Turkey, houseboats on water in India and Venice, and mobile homes that people live in as they travel.
House of Straw
Jane Dillard built an unusual home made entirely of straw bales near Cortez, Colorado. Her thick straw bale walls provide an efficient, naturally cool home that is quiet and feels safe. Straw bale construction is gaining popularity in the American Southwest as a sustainable building technique that uses a local, renewable material and blends well with the natural surroundings. Modern interest in straw bale homes has grown due to desires for energy efficiency, use of natural materials, and a feeling of belonging provided by understanding the simple materials that form one's home.
Living in australia, intro
Life in Australia in 1900 was difficult, with women doing laborious tasks like washing clothes by hand in large copper pots heated over an open fire. Photographs from the late 19th century show women in New South Wales washing clothes in this manner. Daily chores like laundry involved tedious and physically demanding work without modern conveniences.

When white light passes through a prism, it refracts and separates into the visible color spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This document discusses the refraction of light through prisms and how rainbows are formed by the reflection and refraction of sunlight within water droplets in the sky. It aims to correct the misconception that rainbows are produced by only a single water droplet.

How to save natural resource 2
We need to conserve natural resources like water and energy to protect the planet for future generations. The document provides tips for saving water like turning off taps and not leaving appliances running needlessly. It also suggests saving energy by turning off lights and electronics when not in use. The proposal encourages recycling paper, glass, and organic materials properly in their designated containers to reduce pollution and waste. Protecting the environment requires small changes like using resources more efficiently and recycling what we use.
How to save natural resources !
We are wasting natural resources like water and energy through careless behaviors, and must change our habits to save the planet. The document proposes that we conserve water by turning off taps and appliances when not in use, save energy by turning off lights and electronics when leaving rooms, and recycle properly using different bins for paper, glass, and organic waste. Taking these steps will help protect resources, reduce pollution, and ensure a sustainable future.
