Grandma's childhood photos
Look at photos of your grandparents as kids — no phones, different clothes, milk delivered to the door. Comparing 'then and now' shows how everyday life keeps changing, and that the world you know isn't the way it always was.
Life used to be different
History is the story of the past. Long ago, people lived without many things we use today. They wrote letters instead of texting, rode horses instead of cars, and lit candles instead of flipping a switch.
Then and now
'Then' means long ago; 'now' means today. Comparing them shows how life changes.

- Say one thing that changed.
What you should see: Long ago people walked or rode horses; today we ride cars, buses, and planes — travel changed over time.
