NOMADS

About 6000 B.C.

Nomads settled as farmers in the Fertile Crescent. They had to find a way to get water to their crops.  This contraption I made shows how to get water to plants.  This is my idea.

first I drew a picture.  I call it the water deliverer.  The Nomads needed to get water to their crops without them dying.  If they did not get water to them they'd have to move to a new spot.  
There's a river called the Tigris river in the Fertile Crescent.  




There'd be two fences on either side of a passage, and they would have to build passages first through the crops and around the crops.  There'd be a piece of wood in the channel and all they had to do was lift the piece of wood and the water would pour out of the river and into the channels to the crops and it can feed the crops and you wouldn't have to do so much work.






then I built it.  I built it with modelling clay, a plastic bowl and some popsicle sticks on a cutting board.  I filled the bowl up with water and then lifted a black modelling clay ball and the water went threw my passages.  And that's how my little water deliverer works.

Back to Home School

Today its my first day back to home school after summer holidays.
I'm not so used to it because my big brother was homeschooling with me for the last two years and now he  goes to real school and I'm doing home school.  it''s kind of hard because my ( loud little brother Sam) keeps interrupting me.  the good is that  my mom and I get some time alone because my little brother Sam is going to play school and I'm going to be doing homework.  And there you go I will be writing another blog soon.





This is the song I listened to when I was making my first blog.  Go ahead and listen to it.
