Hunt For Famous Explorers Game Guesses

Ship

This has been a great game!! Thank everyone for playing and I hope that you learned many new facts about world exploration. The best thing about these "Hunt for" games is that even a wrong answer results in new knowledge about an area because research was done so congratulations everyone on these fine scores!!!!!

Now does anyone have an exploration timeline to submit showing when these men made their discoveries?

How about guestions about the clues?

What URL's were used to research the explorer's?

Eleven (11) schools played until the end so each school has 10 possible correct answers.

Narragansett Elementary School's explorer, Adriaen Block, was the hardest to guess with 4 correct guesses and next was Maine West's, Sebastian Cabot, with 8 correct guesses.

URL's Used

We thought the explorer game was fun, tiring, brain-racking and we enjoyed the competition. We used a biography internet site:
