All About Explorers
http://allaboutexplorers.com/ All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Although the Internet can be a tremendous resource for gathering information about a topic, we found that students often did not have the skills to discern useful information from worthless data. So we set out to develop a series of lessons for elementary age students in which we would demonstrate that just because it is out there for the searching does not mean it is worthwhile. Important Note This is really a site designed to get students to question the authenticity of information on the web ... ask yourself if the info is true ... (check the teachers notes) |

Explorers : 4 2 Explore
http://eduscapes.com/42explore/explorers.htm This web project provides "four to explore" for each topic. On each page you'll find definitions, activities, 4 good starting points, and many more links and resources for the thematic topic. In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners. Each school, classroom, and teacher is unique. As such we didn't try to provide specific activities for particular grade levels. Instead we suggest that teachers explore each link, then design specific, developmentally appropriate activities such as discussion questions, small group activities, or webquests to fit the needs of their curriculum. The links on this site are safe for children. Explorers | |

James Cook (1728 - 1779)
http://werner.ira.uka.de/~westphal/australia/explore/cook.html Cook joined the Royal Navy in 1755 at the age of 27, after serving 10 years on merchant ships.

However, he did not become an officer until 1768, when he was appointed to lead the expedition to the Pacific. |
