Early Civilizations
By Jennifer Salsbury
Early Cultures
• First American’s went through periods of extreme cold called the Ice ages.
• During the Ice Ages much, of Earth’s water was frozen into huge sheets of
ice called glaciers.
Specialize
• Once people learned to farm, the were
able to grow more food than they needed.
Because people no longer hunted for all
their food, they could specialize, or spend
more time doing one job
Beringia
Hunters and animals walked across natural “Land Bridges” where large bodies of
water are found today. Scientists believe that some people crossed Beringia from Asia
and arrived in the Americas.
Civilizations
A kind of culture that has complex systems of government,
education and religion.
Olmec
• One of the earliest civilization in the
Americas. They grew corn, beans, and
squash along the riverbanks that flooded
in the summer.
• The Olmec were among the first
Americans to use stone in sculpture and
architecture.
Irrigation
The Anasazi were able to farm in the desert by using irrigation to water their crops
What are huge sheets of frozen ice?
A. Ice Ages
B. Beriginia
C. Glaciers
Answer is C
A. Ice age is a period of time
when much of earth’s water
was frozen into glaciers.
B. Beringia is a natural "land
bridge" That Scientist's
think early civilizations used
to cross from one place to
another.
What is a civilization?
A. A trading city for the Olmec
Civilization.
B. Complex system of culture that
had systems of government,
education, and religion.
C. When you spend most of your
time doing one job.

Early Cultures
• First American’s went through periods of extreme cold called the Ice ages.
• During the Ice Ages much, of Earth’s water was frozen into huge sheets of
ice called glaciers.
Specialize
• Once people learned to farm, the were
able to grow more food than they needed.
Because people no longer hunted for all
their food, they could specialize, or spend
more time doing one job
