Science on the Oregon Trail (Science of History) (The Science of History)

You may have heard of the Oregon Trail. In the 1840s, more than 5,000 people traveled the Oregon Trail, hoping for a better life. But did you know that science played a big role in this epic journey? Learn how covered wagons were engineered. Find out how food was preserved and diseases were treated along the trail. And discover how modern technology is helping us learn even more about this time in history.\nFrom School Library Journal\nGr 4-6-Looking at historical events through a science lens provides a unique viewpoint. Discussions include the effects of scientific principles and processes, as well as the technology used to overcome problems. Students will learn how ocean currents affected the Mayflower and the Antarctic expedition or why Egyptian priests and Oregon Trail travelers had to fight bacterial decay. Besides details on building materials, navigation tools, and waterproofing techniques, the text also explains how modern methods such as CT scans and DNA analysis are used to investigate historic sites. Plentiful maps, diagrams, photos of Howard Carter at Tut's tomb or Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton's crew on the ice, and other images support the text and give it visual interest. Suggested books and sites for additional investigation extend the learning. VERDICT An informative look at history and science that shows the connection between the two areas of knowledge.α(c) Copyright 2011.
