  1. Time Introductory Unit Social Studies 9 Ms. Irving

  2. The Concept Of Time • Abstract human concept • Can mean past, present, future • Refers to a measurable period in which people, actions, or conditions exist • We divide time to organize and coordinate our activities • Man has invented tools for measuring time (clocks & calendars) • Pause: Do you know of any different types of calendars or clocks?

  3. Example #1: Stonehenge Early stone monument About 4000 years old

  4. Historians disagree what it was used for… But we know that because of the way the stones are arranged, it was definitely used to measure cyclical time. One stone aligns with the sunrise on the summer solstice. Other stones mark the 56 year cycle of the moon as it rises and sets at different points on the horizon. Made it possible to predict solar and lunar eclipses.

  5. Example #2: Bighorn Medicine Wheel In Wyoming, First Nations built this medicine wheel

  6. The stones in the wheel align with sunrise at the summer solstice. Approximately 200 years old. Similar wheel in Moose Mountain, SK

  7. Important Terms: • Cyclical Time – could happen over & over, natural cycles • Seasons • Sun/moon • Days of the week

  8. Linear Time – never repeats itself, future direction • 1977 • January 1, 2012 • your first kiss • your birth • your death

  9. Absolute Time – precise, exact • 705 C.E. • 2:45pm June 26, 1949 • Friday, January 28, 1876

  10. Relative Time – related or linked to some other event/time • I will meet you after Period 4 (each school starts period 4 at a different time…need to know that before you can know what time to meet) • I was born 2 years after my brother (need to know how old he is before we can know how old you are).

  11. Complete the examples on your handout We will go over as a class

  12. Timelines • Centuries – 100 year time periods • 1307 CE = 14th C CE • 41 BCE = 1st C BCE • 1996 CE = 20th C CE • 2012 CE =

  13. BCE / BC • BCE – Before Common Era • old terminology was B.C. (before Christ) • CE – Common Era • old terminology was A.D. (Anno Domini – in the year of the lord) • Our Reference Point is year “0” (the birth of Jesus Christ). 0 • __|_______________|__________________|_

  14. Where would we place these events on a timeline? 332 BCE – Alexander the Great conquers Egypt 1066 AD – William the Conqueror takes over England 532 BC – Pythagoras starts his school in Greece 410 CE – Rome is taken over by the Visigoths

  15. Example Timelines

  16. Your Personal Timeline

  17. Archaeology Helps us to traces the origins of human society. In order to find out about history before people kept written records, a time we call PREHISTORY, we can use archaeology.

  18. Archaeology • Had been called ‘the science of rubbish’ • It is the study of human remains (bodies or bones), artifacts, and ecofacts. • Artifact - any objects with features that have been made by human activity (tools, weapons, ornaments, houses, food) • Ecofact - remains that were not made by humans but still provide some information that helps us to understand people of the past.

  19. Example: Petroglyphs Rock Carvings in St. Victor’s Park, SK

  20. Ecofacts Include Fossils Fossils are remains of plants & animals.

  21. Archaeologist make inferences about a society based on the artifacts and ecofacts that they discover. • INFER – to come up with a conclusion based on reasoning from evidence and examples (like a hypothesis).
