Ancient history in the fifth grade starts with the childhood of civilized humanity in ancient India, where human beings still lived in a very dream-like state. The ancient Persians who came next transitioned from the dream-like state to connect with the earth and felt the need to transform the earth & domesticate animals. The great cultures of Mesopotamia (the Chaldeans, the Hebrews, the Assyrians, and the Babylonians) come even more into our being as humans by recording their history in the form of writing. The Egyptians built an entire complex civilization of pyramids, pharaohs, writing and reading. The Greeks came last in this saga of ancient history with a developed civilization that is much like ours in many ways. This block will cover the second of the four ancient civilizations – Ancient Persia. We will also cover Mesopotamia in this block.

The student will be formally studying acoustics and other physics concepts in 8th grade. However, to prepare them for the more complex physics lessons that are coming we will be doing some basic experiments this week to get them comfortable with the concepts. This block covers acoustics, optics, magnetism, and thermodynamics. The lessons are largely hands-on lessons with many experiments you can do using common household objects. This purchase includes both the printed curriculum and the Living Lessons. Instruction in physics begins in the sixth grade and is linked to what the children have learned in music. We begin the study of physics by allowing acoustics to be born out of music. – Steiner
