Introduction

Social Science 4 Teacher’s Resource Book provides a wide variety of photocopiable worksheets designed to complement Social Science 4

Student’s Book and Social Science 4 Teacher’s Book. It is divided into 10 topics in order to cover the main concepts of both the National Curriculum and the curriculum established by the Community of Madrid.

These worksheets facilitate a flexible approach in the classroom. Students in the same class can be given different worksheets. Students can expand on the material learnt in class. Or they can use the worksheets to revise. These worksheets can also be assigned as homework.

There are four categories of worksheets:

Reinforcement, Extension, Assessment and tests, and Investigate.

Answer keys are provided in the Aula Virtual and on the website: http://www.evocacion.es

(6)

Reinforcement worksheets

There are two pages of Reinforcement worksheets for each topic. These worksheets are designed to provide additional support for students in need of further practice. They can be used after the relevant section in the Student’s Book, before the Final activities sections, or as extra preparation for the

Unit assessment. Students can complete the worksheets with or without consulting their Student’s Books, in the classroom or at home, individually or in pairs.

1 Read the text and answer. a. What is a ria?

b. Name two Spanish coasts where we can find these estuaries.

c. Which rias go from the Eo river to A Coruña? Which go from the Corme estuary to the border with Portugal?

d. Name four natural elements you can see in the photo.

Spanish Rias

The Spanish coast is very varied. There are a lot of places where water goes in and out. For example, beaches, coves, cliffs, deltas and estuaries. Along the Cantabrian coast and the Atlantic coast, a particular type of estuary called a ria can be found. A ria is a river valley full of sea water. On the west coast of Galicia, these rias are called Rias Altas and Rias

Baixas. The Rias Altas go from the Eo

river to A Coruña. The Rias Baixas go from the Corme estuary to the border with Portugal. Rocks and relief

b. What do we call a scientist who studies fossils?

c. What information do fossils give us?

d. What is an ichnite?

e. Where can you find ichnites in Spain?

Rocks and dinosaur prints

Have you ever seen fossils in rocks? Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals that lived on Earth millions of years ago.

Scientists called palaeontologists study fossils found in sedimentary rocks. Fossils can give us information about climate and the environment in the past. For example, if a palaeontologist discovers a marine animal fossil, he knows that the area was probably under the sea a long time ago. Fossils can also be the remains of animal footprints, such as dinosaur footprints, called ichnites. In Spain, there are spectacular ichnite routes in the provinces of Soria, Rioja, Teruel and Asturias. In particular, the coast of Asturias between Gijón and Ribadesella is known as Dinosaur Coast. Here you can visit the Jurassic Museum of Asturias (known as MUJA), built in the shape of a giant ichnite.

2 Search the Internet for information about a particular solstice celebration

and complete an index card. Explain what type of solstice it is, where it takes place and what it is about.

Solstice celebrations

Solstices happen when the Sun is furthest away from the Equator. They occur twice a year, in winter and in summer.

The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year. The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun and the Sun appears at its lowest position in the sky. It marks the first day of winter, on or around 21st December in the Northern Hemisphere.

In addition, the winter solstice marks the beginning of shorter nights and longer days. It is a time to celebrate light and the rebirth of the Sun.

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. The North Pole is tilted towards the Sun and the Sun appears at its highest position in the sky. It marks the first day of summer, on or around 21st June in the Northern Hemisphere. This means the beginning of longer nights and shorter days. There are many festivals to celebrate this solstice, which is sometimes called Midsummer’s Eve.

The Milky Way

The universe is formed of thousands of millions of galaxies. A galaxy is a great concentration of stars, planets, gases, dust, etc.

It is possible to distinguish various types of galaxies according to their size, shape, light, etc. Galaxies move continuously very fast. The galaxy that the solar system is in is the Milky Way. It has this name because, when you look at the sky at night, you can see a wide band of white made of thousands of stars. The Milky Way is a spiral shape with different arms. It contains more than 200,000 million stars.

The oldest stars are in the centre and the youngest are in the arms.

Our galaxy takes more than 200 million years to rotate on itself. It would take us around 100,000 years if we wanted to cross it! Within the Milky Way, the solar system is in the Orion Arm.

Unexpected weather

Since childhood, Javier watched the clouds move and imagined that they were different animals. He loved stormy days. He liked the thunder and lightning and the rain on the windows.

He always knew he wanted to study the weather. He found there was a profession just right for him, meteorologist. Now he is working at the Valencian Institute of Meteorology, where he prepares reports on the weather each day.

In September last year, Javier was looking at the data for his daily report when he made an important discovery: he saw there was a heavy storm coming. After summer

months of intense heat and very little rain, no one was prepared. He quickly informed his boss and the authorities. They took action to prevent any catastrophes.

It started raining shortly after that and it rained a lot for five days! It was lucky Javier had warned everyone in time.

Flowering desert

In South America there is a desert, called the Atacama Desert. It’s the driest desert in the world. Can you believe sometimes it doesn’t rain in 400 years?!

As you can imagine, life is very difficult here for animals and plants since they can’t live without water. However, if it rains in this desert something extraordinary happens: flowers blossom everywhere! This phenomenon is called the flowering desert.

Seeds from plants stay in the ground for years. When there is water they germinate, flower and spread their seeds incredibly fast. This creates a floor of flowers!

Is it possible to navigate the rivers in Spain?

It's interesting how barges carrying goods or ships of different sizes sail major rivers such as the Rhine in Germany, the Nile in Egypt, or the Mississippi in the United States.

Can we see similar images in Spain? Is it possible to navigate the Spanish rivers? In general, Spanish rivers are not navigable, although it is possible in some sections of the lower course. Why is this? There are several explanations.

A lot of the Spanish rivers run between mountains and valleys. In these areas the rivers are narrow and twisty, and their waters run at high speed. Besides, the flow is very irregular and it decreases in the summer.

However, some canals have been built for communication. For example, Canal of Castile, which joins the north region of the Inner Plateau with the port in Santander.

e. When is the river source usually dry?

The source of the Cuervo river

The Cuervo river begins in the north-east of Cuenca (Castile-La Mancha). The river’s source is in an area with very permeable rocks. So, when it rains the water goes into the earth. In the earth the water circulates and accumulates. Then, it returns to the surface through many springs.

The biggest spring is in the source of the Cuervo river. The water leaves the earth, runs along a flat surface and then falls in unusual and extraordinary beautiful waterfalls over rocks and plants. That is why in 1999, the source of the Cuervo river was declared a Natural Monument.

If you visit, remember that the river flow varies

depending on the seasons. In summer, for instance, the source is usually dry.

The water comes from a stream that is born in a cave in the upper part of Orbaneja. It falls as if it were a huge natural fountain whose sound fills the streets.

d. What is this information used for?

When was the first population census carried out in Spain?

Until the 16th century there weren’t any good methods of knowing the number of people inhabiting a place.

In 1594 the first census was carried out. The kings needed to know exactly how many subjects they had in order to find out how many had to pay taxes. Thanks to the census we know that during that time 9 million people lived in Spain and the population grew slowly.

A census not only gives information about the population of an area, but also collects information about the number of people of each age, how many are men and women, where each person is born and their level of education.

With these figures we are able to do many calculations. For example, if the population is increasing or decreasing, the needs people will have, who can work and who should be paying taxes.

The world’s population has grown rapidly in recent decades. In 1950, there were about 2.5 billion people. Today, there are more than 7 billion people. There has been

a rise in births and a decline in deaths, making the population grow.

The main reason for this growth is an improvement in the living conditions, such

as technological advances in producing and preparing food, fewer diseases and improved control, better hygiene and medical research, especially in the largest cities.
