World History Stations Activity - The Age of Exploration *Print & Go Prep*

Looking for a fun way to get your students talking, moving, and collaborating? Look no further!

This Station Activity will get your students moving while introducing them to the content that will learn throughout the unit.

How the Lesson Works:
★ This lesson is made up of six stations that will allow your students to discuss the following topics:

• Station 1 - Causes of Exploration (Reviewing Basic Concepts of the Age of Exploration)
• Station 2 - Brain Break (Word search with hidden question for students)
• Station 3 - Meet the Explorers (Important Figures from the period)
• Station 4 - A Day in the Life (Daily Life on Magellan’s ships)
• Station 5 - Fill in the Blanks (Article about the Scientific Revolution)
• Station 6 - Two Truths and a Lie (Vocabulary Review)

★ This activity can be completed by individual students or by teams of students with one answer sheet.
★ The stations are designed to be completed in ten minutes. The entire lesson will take sixty minutes to complete.
★ Many of the stations involve writing opinions rather than facts, so there is not always necessarily a correct or incorrect answer. I’ve included a sample answer sheet to give you an idea of how students can respond to these prompts.

★ This purchase includes the six station cards, supplemental files for three of the stations, and a student answer sheet.
★ All files come in a PDF format.

Required Materials:
★ One of the stations requires a device for watching a video on YouTube. Any device with an internet connection will work.
