Renaissance Part 5 - The Age of Exploration - Workbook Bundle

This bundle focuses on the worldview elements of Economy, Knowledge, Geography, and Beliefs. It has a 71 slide PowerPoint Presentation and 20 page Student Workbook that cover European's desire to explore the world around them and how they developed the technology that allowed them to do so. How did the expansion of trade lead to the discovery of new lands? How did the exchange of knowledge help to create a competition to explore more of the world? How did money and religious beliefs fuel the kingdoms an people's desire to explore? And what were the results of European exploration?

The PowerPoint and workbook look at how mans desire to know more about the world around them led to the discovery of new lands and people. See what part religion and the desire for wealth had on the Age of Exploration. Discover 12 explorers and the places that they explored. Look at how the Age of Exploration turned into the beginnings of Imperialism, when the major powers of Europe started to carve up the world. How is the Age of Exploration still in effect today?
