Explorer Resources

Hi Fifth Graders!

I'll be posting various resources for our explorer project as I find them. Today I have two great resources to start with.

For information about tools: http://ageofex.marinersmuseum.org/index.php?type=navigationtool&id=14

For an interactive navigation routes map: http://ageofex.marinersmuseum.org/index.php?page=voyages

Another resource that has information about specific explorers is: http://www.biography.com/people/groups/famous-explorers
