====An inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; the relationships between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global perspectives. ====
 * THEME: Where We Are in Place and Time **

Sixth Grade Students will be learning about:

 * ====The connection between early human groups. ====
 * ====The causes for early human migration. (i.e. land bridge) ====
 * ====The changes that occurred when early humans migrated to new locations. (i.e. nomads (hunter and gatherers) to farmers) ====
 * ====The effects of early human groups settling in one place and beginning farming communities, and eventually civilizations. ====
 * The relationship of human migration of the past to the present.

Sixth Grade Students should be able to answer the following questions after the unit of inquiry:

 * ====What is the relationship between early human groups? ====
 * ====What was the impact of the Ice Age on early human migration and settlement? ====
 * ====How did early humans transform their ways of living and adapt to their new environments? ====
 * What was the sequence of events that led nomadic groups to create systematic civilizations?
 * How does human migration of the past relate to human migration of the present?
 * How do we connect to early humans as well as each other through our migration histories?
