Exploration is when

you look for something

unknown or different,

or when you make a trip

to look for new

things or treasures.

Discovery is when

you find new things

accidentally and find the

way to use them, play

them or eat them.

The discoveries

happen accidentally, not

on purpose

IMPORTANT

DISCOVERIES

THROUGH TIME

This article is about important

discoveries through time.

For me the Fire, X-Rays and

Penicillin are very important

discoveries so, I am going to tell

youabout them.

FIRE

Fire was discovered by the Homo Erectus a long

time ago.

When the Homo Erectus discovered the fire

they also discovered it is hot , it has light and it can

help us to cook the food.

The fire has 3 important elements that are:

oxygen, fuel and heat.

PENICILLIN

Penicillin is a medicine discovered by Alexander

Fleming in 1830.

That medicine is for: urinary, respiratory and

dental infections.

X-RAYS

X-rays are invisible electromagnetic energy that

can help you see if your body is well or if it has a

problem after an accident.

They also can be used in security like :

In airports

It was discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in

Germany, 1895.

THE DISCOVERY OF

AMERICA

Once upon a time there was a man called

Christopher Columbus, he was a navigator that

wanted to go to Asia but he wanted to go from

East to West to prove the world is round, so, he

asked some people to be his crew members, then he

asked some kings to give him money to buy 3 ships

and the kings told him they were going to pay, but

he had to bring treasures.

It was on Friday, October 12, 1492.

Some months later on Friday October 12, 1492

they saw land and they were very surprised when

they saw the people. Days later, they took the Native

Americans as slaves, killed them and brought some

of them to Europe. When they arrived to Spain they

went with the queen to give her the treasures.

And some people accused him for fraud.

P ERSP ECTIVES OF

P EOP L E IN THE

DISCOVERY OF AM ERICA

For the Queen:

It was good because she became famous and rich.

For Christopher Columbus:

It was bad because he just got a 15th part of the

treasures, he got sick and he ended in jail.

For the crew members:

It was bad because they were tired, lost and they

slept on the floor.

For the Native Americans:

It was bad because Christopher Columbus killed

some of them, they got sick, they were slaves and

Christopher Columbus made them be Catholic.
