Learning Targets I know the names of the six European explorers learned in 4th grade Social Studies. I know which European country sent each explorer (France, Spain or England). I can describe the reasons for exploration for each of the six explorers. I can describe the obstacles each explorer faced. I can explain examples of ways explorers adapted or failed to adapt to their environments. I can describe the accomplishments of each explorer including where they explored. I can explain examples of conflict and cooperation between Native Americans and European explorers.
