AP Objectives for US History

Aubrey Murtha Maddie Pruhs Morgan Drezek Yamilett Lopez Advanced Placement Objectives Unit 1: Pre-Columbian Societies 30,000 BCE-1492 Chapter: 1 Early Inhabitants of the Americas: During the Ice Age, the sea froze into giant, ice-pack glaciers, thus lowering the level of the oceans. As sea levels dropped, it exposed a land bridge connecting Eurasia with the continent of North America in the area of the present-day Bering Sea between Siberia and Alaska. Small bands of nomadic Asian hunters ventured across this bridge. They were most likely following migratory herds of game. These people were the immigrant ancestors of the Native Americans. Gradually (over a 25,000 year time span) they dispersed southward down ice-free valleys, populating both the American continents.

History of the Compass
Subject:
Tags:
The Role of the Compass in Finding America During the Age of Exploration, the use of the magnetic compass as a navigational tool changed the course of travel for people all around the world. This maritime instrument enhanced travel because it gave voyagers confidence to sail beyond their normal shorelines and venture further out to sea knowing that they would be able to retrace their path with ease (Discovering). As a result of the use of the magnetic compass, there was an increase in wealth, an influx in scientific and technological inventions, as well as an improvement in European exploration which eventually led to the discovery of the new world called America.
