Time can be described and measured.
People and places change over time – physically
and in other ways.
The way most people live has changed over time.
Some groups of people have lived much the same way for many years.
There are many reasons why things change over time
(ie migrations, inventions, etc)
History can be recent (last year) or long ago
(thousands of years ago).
We honor some important events or people in our
history with national holidays.
