How Life Has Changed
Grade 1 · Social Studies · History and Symbols · Rhode Island, USA
Lesson Summary
See how daily life is different now compared to long ago.
Explanation
Life today is very different from life long ago. In the past, people traveled by horse and buggy, but now we use cars and airplanes. Long ago, there were no computers, phones, or televisions. People washed clothes by hand and cooked over a fire. Schools looked different too — sometimes all children of different ages learned in one small room. By comparing the past to today, we can see how much things have improved and keep working to make life even better.
