They grew corn beans and squash, they call it the 3 sisters because they grew them together. The corn would start to grow first then the beans would grow on the stems of the corn, then the squash would be at the bottoms growing with them. The way the Salado people built canals as very smart. First what they would do is the would find a river and start to dig out from the side of it and as it would go out to their fields it would decrease in size. and through the main canal, it would have little canals coming out of it going out to other fields. The reason why they made their canals like this is because if they had them the same width them the water wouldn't move fast enough and sink into the dirt. Also as it would decrease the water inside of it would move faster.
science: they wold have to know what would be too much to grow with the 3 sisters.
math: the Salado people would have to know how wide it would have to be to start and end the canal with and how deep to make it so it would be successful.
social studies: the people would have to know how their ancestors built their canals and know if they were successful or unsuccessful and how to avoid what they did if it was not working
English: in the English language there are a lot of words that com from different languages. in the passage, it talks about paleo-Indians and how the word "paleo" comes from the greek language and the meaning of paleo is ancient.
