About this worksheet
A lesson starter for a Year 2 history topic on explorers of land, sea and space. Four questions ask where Neil Armstrong went in 1969, what Christopher Columbus sailed in, which two tools helped explorers find their way, and why people become explorers. A picture of a brass compass on a sea chart sits beside question 3. My Explorer Ideas then has two boxes, What I Already Know and What I Want to Know. There is no box for what pupils learnt. The answer key gives the four answers and sample ideas such as Scott at the South Pole. It links to the England National Curriculum objectives on significant people and events.
