This lesson teaches students about the Age of Exploration’s “discovery” of the “New World.” This lesson focuses on the causes of the Age of Exploration, the competition for the development of trade and colonization that took place between European, and some of the explorers and key events involved. Students are also introduced to some of the ramifications for the Native Americans who came into contact with these early explorers. Content includes:

• Causes of the Age of Exploration: feudalism, the Crusades, the Renaissance, and the Three G’s of Exploration
• Technological advances: astrolabe, compass, quadrant, and carracks
• Mercantilism
• Three G’s of Exploration: Glory, Gold and God
• Portugal and Henry the Navigator’s early explorations of Africa
• Columbus, Queen Isabella, King Ferdinand and the Voyage of 1492, as well as subsequent journeys
• Amerigo Vespucci
• Cortes and the Aztecs
• Treaty of Tordesillas
• Conquistadors
• Pizarro and the Inca
• Spanish colonies
• Cultural exchange between the Natives and Europeans
• Columbian Exchange
• The Northwest Passage: England, France, and the Dutch

Like most of the videos on Mr. Raymond’s Civics and Social Studies Academy’s lessons, this video ends with a review “quiz.” Remember that the PowerPoint in this video as well as a variety of lesson plans, worksheets, smartboard files and activities, are available at Teachers Pay Teachers.

As a social studies teacher, I have often looked for good YouTube video clips to show my students. I hope these videos will serve as a supplement to lessons for civics teachers, US history teachers, US government teachers and their students. I have also thought that these videos could help those who are going to take the naturalization test to become US Citizens.
