  2. Use Power Point to take Funky Notes Directions • Funky notes are colorful and creative and stick out in your memory! You do not want them to be boring! Use colored pencils, highlighters, markers, pens, or creative writing. You can draw cartoons to go with your notes to help them stand out in your memory. • Note: these notes are very important! They are a grade, and you will need them for your test and culminating project for the Explorers Unit.

  3. Objectives Competency Goals: 7.h.2.1 analyze the effects of social, economic, military and political conflict among nations, regions, and groups (e.g. war, genocide, imperialism and colonization).

  6. Instruments for measuring Altitude of Objects above the Horizon • Captain John Davis invented the Davis quadrant, an improved back-staff, in 1594. • Isaac Newton invented the reflecting quadrant in 1699. • John Hadley and Thomas Godfrey independently developed the octant in 1730. • The first sextant was produced by John Bird in 1759.

  7. Life on the Sea • A sailors day was divided into four-hour work schedules called watches. • Duties included tending sails, maintaining the ship, sweeping the deck, and filling leaks in the hull with “oakum,” fibers of the old rope covered with tar. • When not on watch, sailors could sleep, eat, or have entertainment. • Sleeping quarters were small, crowded spaces between decks, about three feet high with hammocks slung between beams. Candles and lanterns were prohibited. Sleeping quarters were opened to the air twice a day, except during storms. Sailors slept fully clothed in order to be able to respond immediately to any emergency.
