In civics and government, students explore foundational topics such as the guiding principles of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the structure and responsibilities of the three branches of government. Activities include interpreting amendments, summarizing individual rights, and comparing roles within the legislative, executive, and judicial systems. Learners also examine the election process and the responsibilities of elected officials. Middle school economics worksheets introduce economic systems—traditional, market, command, and mixed—and key concepts such as scarcity, opportunity cost, supply, and demand. Through real-world scenarios, students evaluate how choices, pricing, and resource availability influence decision-making. U.S. history materials span from the colonial period through the Civil War and beyond. Students explore regional differences among the original colonies, research the causes and consequences of the Civil War, and evaluate major events like the Louisiana Purchase using primary and secondary sources. Activities also encourage historical analysis through political cartoons and persuasive writing. World history lessons guide students through ancient civilizations and global events. Topics include Roman aqueducts, Aztec chinampas, the bubonic plague, and the impact of geography on cultural development. Learners also practice using BCE/CE timelines and draw comparisons between ancient and modern governments.
