Social Studies - Grade 5
Course Outline
Description
Social Studies - Grade 5 (2 of 2) begins with a study of the results of the American Revolution and westward expansion. Students investigate how gaining more land changed the size of the United States. The course then explores the cause and effects of westward expansion and the transcontinental railroad. Why people wanted to move west, how territorial expansion affected American Indians, and changes in national economy are examined. Social studies skills are applied, and primary sources, maps, graphs, and timelines are used to analyze this period of United States history.
