Today is Core Concentrations Thursday. In this blog I will be blogging about the Colombian exchange. I am going to tell you the great things about it and the bad things about it. Before I tell you about this, I am going to explain what the Colombian Exchange is. The Colombian Exchange was the trade between Europe and the Americas. They traded all kinds of items , Now that you have a clue to what the Colombian Exchange is, now it is time to tell you the pros and cons. Pros: you got what you needed, yu traded what you did not need, and everything was fine in your economy. Cons: you could have picked up a disease while trading something, you could have gotten ripped off, and people sometimes would not to trade with you if you are lower class.
These are the main pros and cons when it comes to the Colombian Exchange. Do you think that there could be another reason? Or maybe one of my reasons was wrong? Comment down below and let me know what you think! Just remember that the exchange was between Europe and the Americas.
Until the next Core Concentrations blog!
This Tuesday all of the 7th graders went to the zoo. While we were there, we had to do some worksheets when we saw the animals. This blog will be about my favorite worksheet that we had did. My favorite worksheet was when we went to visit the flamingos. We actually saw a flamingos leg bone and egg. The leg bone was very fascinating It was a very skinny piece of bone. It looked like a stick or a small tree branch. The egg was about the size of a softball. While doing the worksheet, we were looking at the flamingos. Some of the flamingos were standing on one leg. Did you know that when flamingos are born they are a silvery gray kind of color! They get their salmon or pink color from the food that they eat.
Going to the zoo with my group was fun. It was also fun to know a little bit more about an animal as well. There were a lot of animals when we went. The station that was not included when we went was the one were you got to feed the giraffe. It would have been great if we got to feed the giraffe. That is okay, besides the flamingo station would have been better anyway! Until next Core Concentrations blog post!
Todays blog will be about the comparison to the fall of the Inca and Aztec Empires. The both falls were caused almost my the same reason. They both fell to the Spaniards. The Spaniards are a group of people who took over the Aztec and the Inca civilization. They were very powerful because they took down both empires. The emperor of the Inca at the time was very nervous about them, so he ordered his village to melt down all of the gold and silver items into a pile and give them to the Spaniards. Before that the emperor wanted to meet with them, so when he meet with them the Spaniards killed him and took all of his treasure. After that the Inca empire became very vulnerable to being apart.
The Spaniards are also very smart. They figured out a way on how to defeat both if the empires. If they had not destroyed them then probably someone eles would have. There are many ways on how both empires fell that were similar, but I think this was the most important. What do you think the both empires have in common when they fell? I hope that you can take this question into consideration! Until next time!
Todays blog will be on how the Scientific Revolution affected World History. It affected it in manny ways. One of the ways is that it helped people know how the universe looked like. This is the major reason, because back then people thought that the universe looked different that what they said it looked like. The other reason that it changed history a lot was the invention of the telescope by Galileo Galilee. He invented the telescope so that people could look up in the sky. He invented this will the lens of eyeglasses. People could now see and understand how the sky looked like. Later on, another man came in and made the telescope better, but we will talk about him later on. For me the next reason was the invention of the heliocentric theory The heliocentric theory was developed by Nicolas Copernicus. This changed how man now thought of the universe. This theory states that the sun is in the center of the universe.
For me, these three reasons are the most important ones, because they changed history a lot. Without a telescope, how could be see the universe? What are you three reasons on how the Science Revolution effected worlds history? These are mine, I hope that you can agree with these reasons! Click on the link below to learn more.
