    Explorers A Pathfinder for 5th Grade Explorers are people who travel to newly found lands or through little known areas to study the land or to search for something new. Historically, exploration was often done to discover new lands and gain control over them, The great "age of exploration" began with Christopher Columbus searching for a new route to the orient, and Ferdinand Magellan sailing around the tip of South America, and continued almost 300years. Some other famous explorers were John Cabot (the first man from England to reach North America). James Cook (who discovered Hawaiian islands), and Neil Armstrong (who landed on the Moon).

    Age of European Exploration
  • Introduction to the Age of Exploration
    In the early fifteenth century, the sea-faring nations of Europe were poised to expand their influence in the rest of the world by a program of sustained and systematic exploration. In some cases, exploration was fanned by the quest of knowledge about the world in which Europeans lived, for others, the motive was profit. Still others justified their actions as the logical extension of the Crusades of Christianity against Islam.
  • Life at Sea in the Age of Sail
    Over a period of hundreds of years, seafarers from the age of the early explorers to the time of the Battle of Trafalgar shared many common experiences. Men working at sea had much to endure. Cut off from normal life on shore for months, even years, they had to accept cramped conditions, disease and poor food and pay. Above all they faced the daily dangers of sea and weather.
  • Introduction to the Age of Exploration
    The desire to explore the unknown has been a driving force in human history since the dawn of time. From the earliestdocumented accounts, ancient civilizations have explored the earth by sea. Early adventurers were motivated by religious beliefs, the desire forconquest, the need to establish trade routes, and hunger for gold.
