What educators are saying
This was a great supplement to our curriculum. Students learned a lot about the topic with this resource.
My students really enjoyed this. It wasn't a print and go type of lesson but I didn't expect it would be when I bought it. It required a decent amount of prep and I did create some additional stuff to go along with it.
Description
“Scents of the New World” is an unforgettable lesson where students assume the roles of Spanish explorers on their first trip to the New World. An optional hands-on experiential activity has students guessing hidden items native to the New World by scent. While fun for the class, this lesson also challenges students to analyze the lasting effects of the Columbian Exchange on the world. All materials are included and the PowerPoint presentation easily guides you through the entire lesson and activities.
