DISCOVERIES AND EXPLORATION IN OUR LIVES

BY: MARTÍN CORTÉS RODRÍGUEZ

• Discovery is when you find something new that is natural and exploration is when you go to other lands and you are exploring a place or you can explore like the fire because they have to find the use of that.

• Discoveries and exploration help us to many things like when Cristopher Columbus discovered America, he explored because he explored new land and he explored the ocean.

• Discoveries have changed the human beings like the discovery of the fire. It changed a lot of things like we can eat the food we cook because the fire cooks it or to us to be hot.

•

• Exploration helps discoveries to be discover because no only exploring new lands we can explorate like the gravity we can explore what is the function of gravity.

•

• Exploration and discoveries has changed a lot of things in our live because we were not have this things in our live like this culture, hospitals, house, and many more things

FireBy: Samuel Gómez and Martin Cortés.

The fire is very hot element that needs oxygen, heat and combustion, and it helps us to cook the food.

The homo erectus discovered the fire, they were a type of hominid.

The fire was a very important Discovery because it helps us to do many things like: to cook, to be warm in cold places and a lot of things more...It was dicovered400.000 years ago.

The fire has changed the human beings, We think is one of the most important discoveries in the world.

EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY

BY: JUAN FELIPE DÍAZ

• The discoveries can help us to have a better world and to

resolve problems like The world is round because in other

parts of the world is much light that was in the morning

an in other parts of the world was dark that is the night

so he investigated.

• The explorations are when you travel to other parts of

the world like and you go to a safari to the African

jungle and you explore that there are lions in caves or

there are many reptiles that have 4legs or 2 legs and

much more .

• To make a discovery you have to explore new

things here or in other places of the world.

• Both things help you solve things that you don’t

know or get clearer.

“Function of exploration and

Discovery in the lives of human

beings”BY GERÓNIMO GÓMEZ C.

• Discoveries are something new that you don’t know. An

exploration is when you go to a place that you don’t know and

you discover new things like other people, animals and many

more things.

• So, discoveries and explorations are related because both are

about new things and experiences.

• The discovery of America help us to know that there are

different cultures and species. The discovery of penicillin help

us to cure infections. The discovery of fire help us to cook the

food it also help us to illuminate places and keep us warm.

• Explorations help us to learn about new things like the solar

system and other planets. Explorations help us to learn about

new places and territories. Explorations help us to understand

how earth works.

• In conclusion, discoveries and explorations can help us to do

many things and know more to live better lives.

DISCOVERY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

BY GERONIMO GOMEZ C. AND JUAN FELIPE DÌAZ C

What is solar system?

The solar system is made up of many planets that orbit

around the sun. It was formed billions of years ago. It

also has asteroids, moons, comets and satellites.

It is important to know about the solar system because

it helps us to understand more about our own planet,

how it works and how the things that happen in the

universe can affect us.

The planets in the solar system are Mercury, Venus,

Earth, Saturn, Neptune, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus. Pluto

is not a planet.

The only planet that we can use to live in is Earth

because it has oxygen and water.

Function of Exploration and Discovery in the lives of

humans.By : Pablo Palomino

• Today I’ll talk about the Function of Exploration and Discovery in the lives of

humans. Discoveries and explorations are a key of life.

• Exploration helps us how to do discoveries and Discoveries help us to explore new

things. The Discoveries always change something in the world. Exploration and

discoveries are very important for the human kind. All the discoveries are valid

although there are some that are not famous but it doesn´t matter, they still are

important, because they change the world.

• Exploring helps you discovering new things like Christopher Columbus wanted to

explore new land and then trying to find new land he kind of discovered America.

Discoveries are very important at this time. All people are having different types of

viruses people are trying to discover the cure for those viruses. There are some very

famous explorers like Roald Amundsen, Hernan Cortes, Charles Darwin, Ferdinand

Magellan, Marco Polo, Stanley, Lewis and Clark, Sir Edmund Hillary, Christopher

Columbus, Neil Armstrong. The Explorers and the people that discover had marked a

big place on the history of exploration.

• To help people inventing new thing long time ago there were no houses then someone

discovered the rocks and the wood and they started doing different houses they lived

in caves and then one cave man said hmm I think I can do a house I can use rocks

and wood. Then the thing started to evolve and then they got new and better things

now house are better. Houses are now more comfortable. There are houses and there are

Apartments. Now you don´t need a fan to cool. You can use an air conditioning. Now

you do not need to use the stairs to go to your house you can go by the elevator. The

technology has been a great tool because before you needed to go to a place and ask for

something or someone now you can use the telephone or a computer. All things have

evolved a lot. In conclusion, life is easier now

EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY IN OUR LIVESBY:

EDUARDO LLAMAS

• Discovery is something that you find and exploration is

when you go to find things.

• There are many discoveries in the world. One discovery

is gold. Another discovery is diamonds. Another

discovery is the petroleum.

• The function of the gold is to make coins and to

decorate. The diamonds are to decorate the things and to

show them. Petroleum is used for gasoline. The paper is

another discovery. The function of this is to draw or

write

• In conclusion, the discoveries and function are very

important.

EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY IN OUR LIVESBY:

PEDRO PUGA

• The exploration and the discoveries are related

because when you explore you can discover

something, and you have to discover something to go

to explore.

• Long time ago, people didn’t have navigation tools, so,

they had to explore to discover more things.

• With the exploration you can prove your theories or make

discoveries and if you mix them you can learn many

new things.

• In conclusion, exploration and discovery are a very good

team.

GUNPOWDER

BY.PEDRO PUGA AND EDUARDO LLAMAS

THE GUNPOWDERIS A TYPE OF EXPLOSIVE THAT COMBINES

DIFFERENT MATERIALS.

YOU CAN USE GUNPOWDER IN THE BULLETS THE GUNS HAVE.

IT WAS DISCOVERD BY CHINESE PEOPLE IN 1444.

THE DISADVANTAGES ARE THAT IT CAN KILL PEOPLE AND IT IS

DANGEROUS FOR THE HEALTH OF LIVING THINGS. IT HAS SOME

ADVANTAGES TOO, IT CAN BE USED TO EXPLODE MINES TO FIND GOLD

OR OTHER THINGS.

IN CONCLUSIÓN, IT CAN BE GOOD OR BAD, BUT IT DEPENDS ON THE

WAY PEOPLE USE IT.
