Social Science test

On Thursday we have our Social Science test for Units 4 and 5.  As I said before, you do not have to study all of the pages, only these: p. 50, 52, 53, 62, 65.

You do have to study the information in the text  but you do not have to memorize the information from the maps.

Also, you do not have to memorize the information from the table on p. 62 about the products of the ten countries.

You should be able to classify items into two groups: raw materials and manufactured products, and say which industry they come from.

Ex.  A T-shirt is a manufactured product. It comes from the textile industry.   Eggs are raw material. They are from the livestock farming industry.

Good luck!

Here is an old picture of a coal mine (underground mining) in El Valle de Turón in Asturias:

Have you found them yet?

Where are the sheep???

Hello! I hope you are having a good holiday. When we get back, we are going to study Economic Sectors in Social Science.  Do you remember the three economic sectors?

In the Primary Sector, we have Farming, Fishing, and Forestry.

One kind of farming is Livestock Farming (raising animals.)  

Here is a challenge for you!  I will post the answer after we go back to school.

• Liezel Kennedy, a sheep farmer from Saskatchewan in Canada, has a flock of about 550 she tends to everyday.
• One morning this week she she came to the fields find they had all disappeared - until she looked a little closer.
• In fact the hundreds of woolly livestock are carefully hidden among the snow and grass in the barren landscape.

Can you find the sheep?
