 Over time, everybody gets older. This happens not
only to living things but also to buildings and cities.
What is modern now will be considered old in a
few years.
 Every fact is located along the Timeline. We live in
the present, what has already happened is
considered the past and what will come is the
future.
 We learn about the past studying fossils, for
example, but we can only imagine the future.
Present FuturePast

3. 3
1.Draw yourself in the square you have in the
middle. Then something that happened in the past
in the left square and imagine something that we
will have in the future and draw it in the right
square.
2.Here you have a Timeline. Using arrows () you
must match the drawings with the line as in the
example:
PAST PRESENT FUTURE
Present FuturePast

ROADS
In the past
 For thousands of years people travelled on land on
horseback, in carts pulled by oxen, or on foot.
There were no proper roads.
 The Roman soldiers built good roads. All the roads
they built were remarkably straight. The Romans
knew that the shortest distance from one place to
another is a straight line.

5. 5
In the present
 Nowadays we have
good roads to
travel by car, bus,
motorbikes, etc
faster and more
comfortably.
3. How do you think roads will be in the future?
Draw your idea.
ROADS IN THE FUTURE
4. Read and write:
A long time ago people travelled on land on
_____________, in ________________, or
________________.
Nowadays we have good roads to travel by
_____________, ________________,
_______________, etc.

6. 6
MEANS OF TRANSPORT
In the past
 As we have said, transports have changed along
the years. At the beginning, our ancestors used to
go on foot until they found horses a useful
transport.
 Thanks to the
invention of the
wheel, they could
start using charts and
carry many heavy
things.
In the present
 Nowadays we have many different means of
transport.
o If we want to go by land, we can use the bike,
the car or the train, for example.

7. 7
o If we want to go by water, we can use the boat
or the submarine.
o If we want to go by air, we can use the plane,
the helicopter, or even the rocket!
In the future
 We can have an idea of how transports will be. But
we still don’t know which fuel we will use: oil,
hydrogen, sun, air?

8. 8
5.How do you think transports will be in the future?
Draw your idea.
TRANSPORTS IN THE FUTURE
6. Write the three ways we can travel nowadays and
one example of each.

MEANS OF COMMUNICATION
In the past
 How could people communicate with each other
without technology?
 First was only the oral communication, telling
stories. Our ancestors also used the paintings in
caves. Indians sent messages with smoke signals
too.
 When the alphabet was invented and people could
write, communication was easier. But not
everybody knew how to write and read. That
changed when the printing press was invented
in 1440.

10. 10
In the present
 Nowadays we have
many different means
of communication.
But most of them
didn’t exist before the
discovery of the
electricity.
In the future
 Even with all that technology, we still write letters
and notes. What do you think we will use to
communicate in the future? Will we still use
pencils?
7. What kind of technology would you use to
communicate in the following cases:
If I want to communicate with my uncle
who lives in Madrid I would use the
________________________________.
If I want to communicate with an alien
from another planet I would use the
_______________________________.

THE GREATEST INVENTIONS
1. The printing press
The German Johannes
Gutenberg invented
the printing press
around 1440. Printing
presses increased the
speed with which
book copies could be
made, and that helped
to spread knowledge.
2. The refrigerator
The French Charles Tellier
invented the refrigerator in 1876.
It helps people to keep their food
in good conditions, so they don’t
need to go to the supermarket
every day.
ELECTRICITY CIRCUITS
Learn about electricity circuits as you experiment with
batteries, voltages and light bulbs. Try changing the
battery in the circuit to make the light bulb glow
brighter; increasing the voltage will have this effect.
