3. US History
Gonzales, Fall 2017

4. Lesson 4: The United States as an Emerging World Power
Expansion of industries caused an effect on politics
Wanted more access to natural resources & sell more goods overseas
To promote industrial growth & increase US power, the US became
Imperialistic/Imperialism
Policy by which a stronger nation extends economic, military, &/or political control over a weaker nation or region; often by force
Late 1800s  the US joined the imperialism movement, following Europe
Gonzales, Spring 2017

5. Lesson 4: The United States as an Emerging World Power
1898  US fought in the Spanish-American War
US declared war on Spain because of their mistreatment of Cuba; they WON & took over the Spanish colonies
THE NEXT WAR…
Gonzales, Spring 2017

6. Lesson 4: The United States as an Emerging World Power
World War 1 [ ] in Europe
War against…
US joined the ALLIES in 1917
Because Germany sank American ships & helped the Allies WIN the war, that is when World War 1 ended
Allies
Central Powers
-Great Brit
-Russia
-France
-Germany
-Austria-Hungary
-Ottoman Empire
Gonzales, Spring 2017

7. Lesson 4: The United States as an Emerging World Power
Within 12 years, 1929  world had fallen into a serious economic downturn = The Great Depression
The economic problems lead to the rise of  fascism
Squelched (silence) democracy & advocated the takeover of other nations
Example: Germany
Germany:
Lead by Adolf Hitler
Mid-1930s: He started attacking smaller nations in Europe
Gonzales, Spring 2017

8. Lesson 4: The United States as an Emerging World Power
Italy  took over Ethiopia, Africa
Japan  attacked China
1939  war against the Allies & Axis
World War II 
US didn’t join the war until  1941
When Japan bombed US at Pearl Harbor
World War II included: horrific battles, fire bombing, Holocaust, 2 atomic bombs on Japan
Victory by Allies in 1945!
Joined an alliance with Germany
Axis

9. Lesson 5: The Cold War & the Civil Rights Era
After WWII, capitalist & communist nations engaged in power struggle = the Cold War
Political and military tension
Little fights
US led the Capitalist nations
Soviet Union lead Communist nations
US sent soldiers to both
Korean War [early 1950s]
Vietnam War [ ]
*US pulled out in 1973
Gonzales, Spring 2017

10. Lesson 5: The Cold War & the Civil Rights Era
The Cold War ended with the break up of Soviet Union & end of Communism
For communists, loosing Soviet control led to collapse of communist government
The Berlin Wall  separated Eastern & Western Germany
1950s  African Americans launched the Civil Rights Movement
Try to end segregation & discrimination in the US

11. Science Practices
Gonzales, Spring 2017

12. Lesson 1: Comprehend Scientific Presentations
Main Idea  topic
Details, facts, and evidence
The earliest americans traveled from Asia to North America. These americans were called “Native Americans”. They were the first to settle, until an explorer name Christopher Columbus arrived. There were many explorers traveling and discovering the world in the late 1400s. In 1492, CC set out across the Atlantic ocean. He was rejected by multiple Kings, and finally went to Spain and convinced them finance his trip. At first he assumed he found India and later on it was discovered that he actually found the “new world”.
After this discovery, European nations set out to conquer what they could. In other terms, they discovered new “colonies”.
Was about power, wealth, and place to live
Gonzales, Spring 2017

13. Lesson 2: Use the scientific method1 2 3 4 5
Set of techniques that scientists use to investigate observable facts & occurrence & to acquire new knowledge

14. Lesson 2: Use the scientific method
Dependent variable  the phenomenon you’re studying
Independent variable  a factor that you believe might be affecting the phenomenon
Taking samples: for step #2
sample  portion of the entire thing or population
To make an inference on entire population, have guidelines
concern: sample may not be representative of entire population
-an unrepresentative sample introduces bias
-to prevent this, collect large enough sample size to reduce the probability

15. Lesson 2: Use the scientific method
Randomization  increase the chance of valid results
Control group  does not receive any treatment

16. Lesson 3: Comprehend Scientific Presentations
The test require you to recognizing or citing specific evidence to support a conclusion.
Conclusion or scientific theory  a substantiated explanation of the natural world
Other questions will ask to make predictions  based on evidence or data that the test provides to you based on trends  forecast

17. Lesson 4: Express & apply scientific information
*You will be asked to find relationships among science passages, graphics, formulas or equations

18. Lesson 5: Use statistics & probability
Math in the science section:
-Central tendency  average, median, mode, range
-Independent and dependent probabilities
-counting techniques for combinations and permutations

19. Lesson 6: Construct short-answer responses
You will need to write 2 written responses
2 writing tasks:
1. cite specific evidence
-complete & well developed explanation
-specific facts, details, or evidence from source material
2. design a scientific experiment
-clearly stated hypothesis
-well-formulated design of how the experiment would be conducted
-logical method to collect data
-sound criteria for evaluating the results in relation to the hypothesis

Develop a thesis statement
Emphasize facts, details, and evidence
Plan your response
Write 1 or 2 paragraph response
