Your Columbian Exchange Paragraph should be uploaded at this point.
Part 4 - Columbian Exchange Effects Article - ( here ) (this is the last assignment for the Columbian Exchange)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The columbian exchange led to massive plant interaction, and the subsequent loss of many native plants once new species were planted in their environment. Today we see access to many different plants and their products (fruits, vegetables, spices, wood products, etc) but access to these products was never available locally for people unless their town/country was a major player along trade routes. Isolated cultures were limited to the various plant diversity of their location. In the section we will look at what plants grew where and how that affected their cultural development.


We will start by building the Vegetation Zones spreadsheet and filling in the Low Latitude Climates

Evidence: Being able to evaluate and analyze first encounters will demonstrate that students understand the isolation the native people of the Western Hemisphere had for all those years.
