Columbian exchange activity

Background: “Old” World vs. “New” World What does this mean? What areas do you think are found in the “Old World”? What does this mean? What areas do you think are found in the “New World”? The Old World consists of Africa, Europe, and Asia, regarded collectively as the part of the world known to Europeans before contact with the Americas. It is used in the context of, and contrast with, the New World(Americas).

Background: “Old” World vs. “New” World The territory Europeans had not “discovered” before the Age of Exploration Includes: North America, South America, and Central America The territory Europeans knew about before the Age of Exploration Includes: Asia, Europe, and Africa The Old World consists of Africa, Europe, and Asia, regarded collectively as the part of the world known to Europeans before contact with the Americas. It is used in the context of, and contrast with, the New World(Americas).

Activity, Part 1 Directions: 1. There is a small sheet of paper taped to your desk with the name of a crop on it. 2. Read the name of your assigned crop. 3.

On your side of the room, you will see papers taped to the walls/boards. They say the following: “Old World” side – Europe, Africa, Asia “New World” side – North America, Central America, South America 3. Move to the continent you think your assigned food originated in. 4. When the correct answers are displayed, move to your correct continent if necessary.

Radishes, watermelon, coffee Location: “Old” or “New”?

Activity, Part 3 Directions: 1. We have now looked at the origins of different foods and crops that have become staples of our diets. 2. Using the packet provided, read through the information about what are considered the 5 most important crops traded as a result of the Columbian Exchange. 3. Use the information in that packet to complete the chart on the back of your activity sheet.

Columbian Exchange and TRIANGLE trade Ms. Allen WHII

What is the Columbian Exchange? The exchange of ideas, products, plants, animals, and diseases between the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia

Impact of the Columbian Exchange on: Native Americans 2. Africans 3. Europeans Slave trade = problems! Slaves sent away in trade = no labor in Africa Plantation system hurts native economies Spread of European disease European migration Conflict between European nations Growth of trade markets

POSITIVE EFFECTS: NEGATIVE EFFECTS: Greater variation in diet Indigenous American plants arrive in Europe EX: Tomatoes (from the Americas) arrive in Europe Influence Spanish, Italian, etc. cuisine especially Better nutrition Introduction of large-scale farming (More people can eat more kinds of food, food is cheaper) Spread of disease Population decline (for indigenous peoples) More violence and warfare Greater competition between nations Introduction of large-scale farming Hurts individual farmers, environment

What is the Triangle Trade? Pattern of colonial trade beginning during the Age of Exploration and Discovery Saw the exchange of products and goods between different locations Grew out of both: 1. Slave trade 2. Rise of mercantilism Involved three (3) continents (hence “Triangle” Trade) Americas Africa Europe

What is the major difference between the Columbian Exchange and Triangle Trade? Columbian Exchange = trading “intangibles” (things you can’t hold or touch) Triangle Trade = trading only “tangibles” (things you can touch/hold, like goods, products, etc.)
