Exploring a sunken ship!

10/22/2013

In our Social Studies unit, we are discovering what motivated European Explorers to set sail for the New World.  Today, we set up a "sunken ship" that contained artifacts and objects that would have been found on an explorer's ship and, as archaeologists, we explored! After the "diver" retrieved the item, the "research scientist" sketched the item and researched why this item was important to explorers.  Finally, we classified the items into one of three areas: New products from the Americas, motives for exploration, and new technology that helped exploration.  Ask your student about their deep sea experience!
