working with source

1. UNIT 1
BEING A SOCIAL SCIENTIST

2. MINDSTORM
In this unit, you will develop
some of skills that you need to
use to understand and do will in
social studies
You will work with maps and
graphs, study regions and
people and conduct research of
your own.
1.How we can use
source to find out
about the past?
3. What skills do
you need to read
and make sense of
maps
2. Where is the
middle East and
which countries are
found there?

3. WORKING IN SOURCE
People have lived in the Middle East for thousands
of years. But how do we know about these early
people and how they lived?
Let’s watch this video together to find out

4. Try to figure out
what are the key
words ??
KEY WORDS

5. By using google search
about the keywords and
then describe them in
next lesson
H.W
Archaeological
Evidence

6. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCE?
.
A primary source is a firsthand account of
an event that happened, data from a
study, or an original work. Here are some
examples of primary sources:
•Photographs of historical events
•News articles
•Novels and short stories
•Autobiographies by historical or famous
people
•Letters and journals
•Published essays and opinion pieces
•Original works of art
•Documentaries

7. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCE?
.
Secondary sources are a step removed
from primary sources. Essentially, they’re
sources about primary sources.
Secondary sources include:
•Essays analyzing novels, works of art, and
other original creations
•Textbook passages discussing specific
concepts, events, and experiments
•Biographies of historical and famous people
•Books about specific events, concepts,
movements, and works

8. HOW DO SOURCE HELP US LEARN
ABOUT THE PAST?
.
Let’s watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN7-
NFCxX9s&ab_channel=60SecondHistories
Key word:
Rosetta Stone
An artifact from
ancient Egypt with
carvings of the
same text in three
languages
Social scientists have learned about the daily lives of
ancient Egyptians from evidence found in tombs.
The evidence found in tombs suggests that ancient
Egyptians used oxen to plough the lands and read
boats and baskets to catch fish.

9. MINDSTORM
1. What evidence will people who lived today
leave behind ?
2. How will this help people in the future learn
about our lives ?

10. UNIT 1
COUNTRIES OF THE MIDDLE EAST

11. THE MIDDLE EAST INCLUDE
ALL THE COUNTRIES
ON THE ARABIAN PENINSULA
Mindstorms
• Which countries border
the red sea?
• Which countries border
the Mediterranean?

12. NEIGHBORING STATES
What does the following key words mean?
Boundary:
The line around the edge of a shape, also called the
border.
Neighboring State:
Countries that share a border
Area:
The amount of float space a country of takes up,
measured in square kilometers

13. WORKSHEET
Write down the area in square kilometers (km2)
Which countries
share a boundary
with Saudi Arabia?
Use the map of middle
east and mention 3 of
smallest and largest
countries
Country Area
Saudi Arabia
Yemen
United Arab Emirates
Qatar
Kuwait
Egypt
Iraq

14. USING GRAPHS TO COMPARE
THE SIZE OF COUNTRIES
• Always look at the title of graphs. This
tells you what the graph is about
• You can compare the data by looking at
the length of the bars.
• The horizontal (bottom) scale tells you
what each bar represents.
• The vertical(side) scale allows you to
read how many km2
• Each country covers
Population of middle east countries
Number
in
Million

15. DISTANCES AND DIRECTIONS
Mention the directions in the
compass?
What do you know about
Scale?
Notice that
(1 CM = 200 Miles)
6 cm is equal to how
many miles?

16. UNIT 1
OUR LANDSCAPE AND CLIMATE

17. IN THIS LESSON YOU WILL:
•Describe landforms and climate regions of the middle East
•Use maps and graphs and apply mathematical skills to
interpret social studies information

18. OUR LANDSCAPE AND
CLIMATE
When you look outside, what landforms do you
see?
The Middle East covers an area of more than
8000000 km2
If you look around you , you will see many
different landforms
Mention some of landforms you have seen it
before?

19. USING MAPS TO LEARN
ABOUT LANDFORMS

20. USING MAPS TO LEARN
ABOUT LANDFORMS
Look at both maps
and mention the
different between
them

21. TEMPERATURE

22. RAINFALL
