2.  What do you remember about the following topics?  Hunting and gathering  Adapting  Extinction

3.  How did changes in the world’s climate at the end of the last Ice Age affect the way people got their food?

4.  Temperatures and ocean levels rose  Large Ice Age animals disappeared, small animals flourished  Forests and grasslands grew

5.  At the end of the last Ice Age, there were many causes and effects that lead to the birth of farming.

6.  Read the Adapting to Change section on page 49 of your textbook.  In your notebook, label the causes and effects that lead to farming.

7.  Cause: Warmer temperatures allowed people, animals, and plants to spread north and south from the equator.  Effect: People began to see animals and plants they had never seen before.

8.  Cause: People now had additional food sources.  Effect: Where food was plentiful, populations grew.

9.  Cause: Many Ice Age mammals became extinct.  Effect: Many people lost an important source of meat.

10.  Cause: Climate of southwestern Asia and other places grew drier, causing droughts.  Effect: Droughts caused food shortages.

11.  Cause: People had difficulty feeding themselves (growing populations, animal extinctions, droughts).  Effect: People adapted by storing food, or creating weapons to kill smaller animals.

12.  Cause: In southwestern Asia, gatherers tried planting the seeds of wild grasses.  Effect: They became the world’s first farmers.

14.  Rye  Barley  Einkorn (type of wheat)

15. Barley

17.  What are the causes and effects you learned today? How do they relate to one another?
