* Good starting point for research: https://listverse.com/2017/03/10/10-daring-explorers-who-changed-the-medieval-world/
* Research difficulty: 4/5]]> 2020-04-01 04:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aman_grewal/timelineofexploration/wish/485778196 AGE OF DISCOVERY aman_grewal https://padlet.com/aman_grewal/timelineofexploration/wish/485778306 * When you think of explorers, you probably think of the people in this period. 
* Explorers in the Age of Discovery sailed the oceans and hiked the lands to find new countries to claim for their own. 
* Many explorers came from Spain, Portugal, Netherlands (Holland), and England, though of course there were more.
* Starting point for research: https://www.ducksters.com/history/renaissance/age_of_exploration_and_discovery.php
* Research difficulty: 2/5]]> 2020-04-01 04:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aman_grewal/timelineofexploration/wish/485778306 MODERN EXPLORERS aman_grewal https://padlet.com/aman_grewal/timelineofexploration/wish/485778495 * Now that the whole geographical world was understood, after James Cook 'discovered' Australia and New Zealand, our focus for exploration changed. 
* Explorers in this period started to look to the extremes of Earth like the North and South poles and mountain tops, out from Earth to the stars and space, down below the oceans, and within our own minds to develop science and math understandings.
* Research can be more difficult because these explorers are often not labelled as explorers. 
* Research difficulty: 3/5]]> 2020-04-01 04:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aman_grewal/timelineofexploration/wish/485778495 James Cook aman_grewal https://padlet.com/aman_grewal/timelineofexploration/wish/485780386 Famous for: claiming Australia for England.
