Should culture be kept intact and without foreign influence? 2. Why do people make economic choices? 3. How did the belief of logic and reason promote the beginnings of the social sciences?  ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS Students will understand that... 1. The need for resources led to exploration and conquest. 2. The Age of Exploration and Trade allowed the emergence of cultural diversity. 3. Scientific and technological developments changed the way man produced goods. 4. Enlightenment thinkers influenced the leadership of the 18th century.  This period is characterized as a time when Europeans began exploring the world by sea in search of new trading routes, wealth, and knowledge.  With spirit of adventure State of Europe High demand for Eastern before the goods Age of Exploration Great need for spices Major source of spices was the Moluccas, an island chain in present-day Indonesia Europeans called them the “Spice Islands”  Motives 1. Find new trade routes to spices (Spice Trade) Cut out the “Middleman” in Spice Trade 2. Conversion to Christianity 3. Learn about new lands  KASEL Highlight Social Awareness and Empathy: How these motivations influenced the explorers' actions and the impact on the indigenous populations?  Technology Used Persian Astrolabe (1650) The Carta Marina (1516) St. Gabriel model (1498) Mariner’s Compass (1570) PAIR ACTIVITY: BYOD Identify the routes and countries explored by major players in exploration: Spain, Portugal, Dutch, French, and English.  Discussion Questions: TURN AND TALK Partner A- Why did these countries also conduct their own explorations?

The red vertical line cutting through eastern Brazil represents the divide. The treaty worked out well for the Spanish and Portuguese empires, but less so for the 50 million people already living in established communities in the Americas.  Synthesis 1. How do the ethical dilemmas of exploration compare to modern-day challenges? 2. What responsibilities did explorers have towards the lands and peoples they encountered?
