While this unit study is intended for 1st - 5th grades, some of the exercises could easily be tailored to include younger children. I have also included ideas to use with older students on some subjects. This unit encompasses a variety of daily subjects including Math, Science, Language Arts, Social Studies/Geography and Visual Arts. In addition to these printables, you will need a dictionary, world atlas, encyclopedia, construction paper, scissors, glue, wax crayons and a small tub for water (or bathtub). Language Arts 1. Read and discuss the History of Pilgrims (Handout A) 2. After reading, have the students define the vocabulary words and answer the questions on Worksheet A1and A2. Additional activity for older kids: Use the following words and vocabulary list (Worksheet A1) as a themed Spelling unit. These are just suggested words, so feel free to adjust to fit your students needs and level. *England *Mayflower *church *Puritan *Queen *Holland *Pilgrim *King *Plymouth *religion *sailing *ship *sailing *Massachusetts *Cape Cod

Science Paper Boat Afloat 1. Make a paper boat by following these simple instructions. 2. Float the boat in a small plastic tub or water or bathtub (with supervision). 3. Discuss how the wax crayon on the outside helps keep the paper from soaking up the water and thereby allowing it to float longer and better. 4. What happens if you don t color the outside with the wax crayon? Constellation Navigation Talk about how the constellations guided sailors.

Handout A1 Pilgrims, also known as Puritans, followed their Bibles as guides to daily life. Their enemies referred to them as hair-splitters. Early in the 17th century, some groups began separating themselves from the main body of their local churches. Separatist believers in the Yorkshire village of Scrooby went further and completely separated themselves from the National Church of England. But, fearing for their own safety, they moved to Holland in 1603 and later to Plymouth, in New England, landing in 1620. Why did they separate from the Church of England? They wanted to purify the church and make it more Biblically sound in its teaching s and doctrine. Ultimately, they disagreed with the leadership and the activities of the Church of England, but they also knew there were still some brothers and sisters in Christ left in the Church. So, in 1620, a little more than 100 people set sail on a ship called the Mayflower from Holland bound for New England in search of religious freedom. Originally they landed at present -day Cape Cod, Massachusetts in November 1620. A scouting party went out in late December and landed at Plymouth Harbor, where they formed the first permanent settlement of Europeans in New England. They became known as the Pilgrim Fathers.
Handout A2 Within 10 years, their settlement in Plymouth had grown so much that they spread in to what would now be Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Maine. Unlike previous migrations, which were mostly unattached men, the Puritan migration was largely families. They were also literate and very diligent with their devotional lives, as evidenced in their diaries, sermon notes, poems and letters left behind. The New England way evolved into a minor system of organizing the religious experience. Similar related religious communities include Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists and a wide range of Evangelical Protestants. Although these groups are similar in their religious and political beliefs, the Puritans as such, are no longer a formal, organized group. Even though they may no longer be an organized group, today they might be referred to as the Religious Right group of Americans who are politically active Biblical Christians.
