Introduction
The Nile River was the foundation for the development of one of the greatest civilizations of all times.  In this lesson, the gifts of the Nile will be highlighted to enhance your understanding of their role in the amazing growth of the Egyptian culture.

Subject: Social Studies
Topic: Egypt's Major River Systems  Grade
Student Lesson name and URL: http://ctaponline.org/~glara/student/
Standards Addressed
List the California State Standards your lesson addresses. For example:
Sixth Grade
Social Studies: Egypt's Major River Systems
River Systems and the advent of early civilizations

(6) 2. Students analyze the geographic structures of early civilizations of Egypt.

1. Locate and describe the major river systems and discuss the physical settings that supported permanent settlement and early civilization.
b) The solid Earth is layered with cold, brittle lithosphere; hot, convecting mantle; and dense, metallic core.
c) Lithospheric plates that are the size of continents and oceans move at rates of centimeters per year in response to movements in the mantle.
d) Major geologic events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building result from plate motions.

Instructional Objectives
Insert your learning objectives here. For example:
  1. After viewing an animation of continental movement on a laser disk, students will be able to arrange the fit of the continents with continental puzzle pieces.
  2. After analyzing information from an Encarta CD, students will be able to compare the distribution of fossils, rock types and ancient climatic zones on different continents as evidence for plate tectonics by fitting puzzle pieces marked by these special features.
  3. Students will be able to draw a diagram of the earth’s layers.
  4. After collecting information from The Earth CD, students will be able to locate earthquakes, volcanoes and mid ocean ridges as evidence for plate tectonics.
  5. After viewing a laser disc geology chapter, students will be able to pass a true/false quiz on lithospheric plates and layers of the earth.
  6. Students will be able to identify the major geologic events that result from plate motions in a Power Point multimedia presentation.
  7. Students will be able to present their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth’s structure standards in a Power Point multimedia presentation to an audience of peers and adults, including the World Geologic Society.
  8. Students will be able to write, edit and revise their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth’s structure standards using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
