Videos about Explorers
After the Native Americans were living here on our continent, some Explorers then came here. Click on the name of at least 3 Explorers below to watch a video about them. You can watch them all if you want!
As you watch, be thinking of answers to these questions:
- What were some of the reasons these explorers set out into the unknown?
- What are some of the difficulties they encountered?
- Any similarities between the explorers you learned about?
