  How did the Nile River affect the development of Egyptian society and religion?  How did they modify their environment?  How did they adapt to their environment? Essential Question:

  What two cities are located at the base of the Nile Delta? Warm Up:

  The Nile river unified the people of Egypt.  It affected all Egyptian activities, from farming, religious beliefs, and ways of governing. Unified Egypt

  Primarily traveled by wooden boats with sails.  If traveling North on the Nile, the current was strong enough to move the boat.  If traveling South, the wind currents would move the sail boats easily. Traveling the Nile

  Flooding and drought were common problems that all Egyptians faced.  Together they had to create new ways to harness the power of the Nile in order to survive and prosper. Problems

  Egyptians were able to predict the flooding since it occurred the same time each year.  They created a calendar to keep track of the seasons.  365 day calendar, based on the sun  They had 3 seasons, Inundation, Emergence, and Harvest. Keeping Track…

  Time of flooding that occurred same time each year- June to September  Flood waters covered the land and many people traveled by boat  People will not farm, instead will work for Pharaoh to build monuments like the pyramids. 1. Inundation (Akhet)

  Flood waters went down  Farmers begin planting crops  Used plows and animals to plant crops.  October to February 2. Emergence (Peret)

What happens next? Cattle were used to trample over the cut corn to remove the grain from the ears. Then the grain was tossed into the air so the breeze blew the light useless chaff away.

What crops did the Egyptian Farmers grow? Egyptians grew crops such as wheat, barley, vegetables, figs, melons, pomegranates and vines.

What else did they grow? They also grew flax which was made into linen which was used for clothing and in making mummies.

  Identify the Problem.  Think of possible solutions.  Compare solutions, and choose the best one.  Plan a way to carry out the solution.  Try it! Problem Solving

  A farmer has moved to a new location along the Nile river. He has built his home far enough away from the Nile because he doesn’t want the flood waters to wash it away.  However, now he has to figure how a way to water his crops. How can he do this during the different times throughout the year?  In your group, brainstorm possible solutions. Scenario

  Look at the model to help you come up with solutions.  Think about the resources you have available to you…  Animals  Containers / Baskets  Tools  Trees Model

 Which is the best solution?

  Shaduf – a long pole with a basket on one end used for holding water with a weight on the other end.  Used to fill larger containers to carry water to fields or to homes Real Solution…
