TEACHER NOTES
Have a Cooperative Learning Exercise in the library with Explorers as the theme. Each table had a different explorer to research. Each group has to produce the explorer's biography, a map of their routes, a flag of their country (I used to just give them the colored construction sheets of their country's flag, a scissor, tape and a stapler and then they had to figure out how to make the flag). The finished products can be used to decorate your classroom or to make a nice bulletin board.

Exploration is the act of searching or traveling for the purpose of discovery, e.g. of unknown regions, including space (space exploration), or oil, gas, coal, ores, water (also known as prospecting), or information.

Exploration has existed as long as human beings, but its peak is seen as being during the Age of Exploration when European navigators travelled around the world.
