An NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People Christopher Columbus is one of the most famous people in world history, yet few know the full story of the amazing, resourceful, and tragic Italian explorer. Christopher Columbus and the Age of Exploration for Kids portrays the "Admiral of the Ocean Seas" neither as hero nor heel but as a flawed and complex man whose significance is undeniably monumental.

Fun hands-on activities illuminate both the nautical concepts introduced and the times in which Columbus lived. Kids can: Tie nautical knots Conduct a blanket (silent) trade Make a compass Simulate a hurricane Take nautical measurements And much more

Christopher Columbus and the Age of Exploration for Kids by Ronald A. Reis Pdf

While all kids know something about Christopher Columbus, few know the full story of this amazing, resourceful, and tragic man of history. Christopher Columbus and the Age of Exploration for Kids takes a comprehensive, nuanced, and inclusive approach to Columbus, placing him in the context of the explorations that came before, during, and after his lifetime and portraying the “Admiral of the Ocean Seas” neither as hero nor heel but as a flawed and complex man whose significance is undeniably monumental. Providing kids, parents, and teachers with a fuller picture of the seafaring life and the dangers and thrills of exploration, the book details all four of Columbus’s voyages to the New World, not just his first, and describes the year that Columbus spent stranded on the island of Jamaica without hope of rescue. A full chapter is devoted to painting a more complex portrait of the indigenous peoples of the New World and another to the consequences of Columbus’s voyages—the exchange of diseases, ideas, crops, and populations between the New World and the Old. Engaging crosscurricular activities such as taking nautical measurements, simulating a hurricane, making an ancient globe, and conducting silent trade elucidate both nautical concepts introduced and the times in which Columbus lived. Ronald Reis is the technology department chair at Los Angeles Valley College and the award-winning author of sixteen nonfiction books for young adults on subjects as varied as African Americans and the Civil War and Simón Bolívar.

Christopher Columbus by Jesseca Randall Pdf

Would you trust God alone for your safety and embark on the most dangerous of sea voyages-not once but four times-in hopes of discovering distant lands and new people? In the 15th century, the race to find a new oceanic trade route to the Orient was as frenzied as our modern day race into outer space. Back home, the European nations were struggling for survival against foreign invaders and trying to hold on not only to their civilizations but more importantly to their faith. One brave man named Christopher Columbus took the challenge! Navigated by God recounts the amazing voyages of Columbus and how God transformed his life against the backdrop of the race to the New World. An ordinary man faced with insurmountable odds, Columbus rose from obscurity to fame and eventually was plunged back into the shadows in what can only be described as a divinely inspired expedition. Relive his incredible story retold as a novel sure to capture any child's imagination. Using Columbus' own journals and Book of Prophesies, Navigated by God shows how truly important Columbus' faith was to him and how he struggled with many of the sins we all commit. Navigated by God will give you a new appreciation and perspective on Columbus not captured in any other children's book.

The Age of Exploration by Britannica Educational Publishing Pdf

The Age of Exploration, which spanned roughly from 1400 to 1550, was the first time in history that European powers—eyeing new trade routes to the East or seeking to establish empires—began actively looking far past their own borders to gain a better understanding of the world and its many resources. The individuals who set out on behalf of the countries they represented came from a variety of backgrounds, and included master navigators such as Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan—the latter of whom was the first to circle the globe—as well as the often ruthless conquistadors of the New World such as Francisco Pizarro and Hernan Cortes. The exciting and sometimes tragic lives and journeys of these and many others as well as the battles for empire that arose are chronicled in this engaging volume.
