In this lesson, students will learn about the life and voyages of Captain James Cook, exploring his contributions to cartography, encounters with Indigenous peoples, and scientific achievements. They will also discuss the complex legacy of Cook's expeditions, considering both their impact on European knowledge and the consequences for the regions and cultures he encountered.
