Map Monday: Darwins Voyage

 

The kids each created a vintage version of Darwins Voyage on the Beagle. Originally, he recommended by a professor when a crew was seeking a student to collect scientific samples and data, but also had enough prestige to accompany the captain for meals. 'Darwin and Evolution for Kids' is a detailed book of his family history, the purpose and outcome of the voyage. Plus, some great mini science experiments.

 

We took a look inside Darwins Voyage of Discovery by Jake Williams to learn about the initial map and the actual map of the journey. 

Map-making gave us a glimpse at continent review, as well as an idea of how hard the journey would have been in the early 1800's.
