What Is An Endangered Species?
Elephants. Tigers. Gorillas. Pandas. Blue Whales. What do these amazing creatures have in common? They are some of the biggest, coolest, and most loved animals on the planet. They are all also endangered species.
The Caste System
Reading the Vedas tells us that Aryan society was divided into four classes, or varnas. Each class was made up of families with similar jobs and status.
Early Railroads
Trains are magical machines that stimulate the imagination. From The Little Engine That Could to the Hogwarts Express, stories and films are filled with trains and the amazing places they go. Trains can run over bridges high in the mountains. They can travel underground.
The Indian Removal Act
The elders of your Cherokee tribe are holding a big meeting, and everyone’s in a very serious mood. Listening outside, you and your best friend hear your father say, “The Americans are going to make us go west.” But your people already have homes here, in the place the Americans call Georgia. Some of your friends even learn English in their schools! Why would the Americans want you to leave?
Space Exploration in the Twentieth Century
In the twentieth century, the dream of space travel became real. It started in 1957, with the launch of the first human-made object into space. The Sputnik 1 satellite, which orbited Earth, was built by the USSR.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
