The civilization of the Ancient Mesopotamian culture became
the seedbed for innovation, medicine, and philosophy, among other things, for
neighboring ancient cultures. Many of the advancements you see in Ancient Egypt
or Greece stem from roots in Mesopotamia. Wonderful photographs and
illustrations accompany the topics across 2-page spreads. Each of the 18 topics
covered has an accompanying Technical Specs factoid box that provides quick and
interesting facts and spurs further investigation. A glossary provides
vocabulary/spelling words, and the timeline allows students to see the
progression of history. Pgs. 48, sc. ~Rebecca
Publisher's Description of Discovering the Technology of Ancient Mesopotamia
The area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers was home to ancient
Mesopotamia—the “cradle of civilization.” It was the birthplace of a
number of innovations in areas such as transportation, irrigation, and
the construction of cities. Readers take a deep dive into the ways
residents of ancient Mesopotamia used what we now call STEM concepts in
their everyday life. This cross-curricular approach to learning combines
science, technology, engineering, and math with essential social
studies concepts. The main text and sidebars support this unique
approach to learning, and colorful photographs and illustrations enhance
this exploration of the ancient world.
Water clocks, roadways, monumental structures, warfare, and
agriculture are just a few things that many ancient civilizations had in
common. These short historical readers provide fact-finding-students with an
arsenal of “Did you know…” statements. Explore a few of the most common ancient
cultures: Mayan, Aztec, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman, and learn how they
lived and built the bedrock of our modern-day advancements and way of life.
These would be great titles to add to a cultural unit study or to help
reluctant readers get excited about reading to learn. Opportunities for further
research is a guarantee, as Further Resources are provided in each book to help
facilitate a curious mind. ~Rebecca
