There are five groups of explorers to research and report on, and a time line of events to construct. Learn how Spain received so much territory and Portugal so little. Use clues to identify and locate the California missions established by Father Serra. Read the information cards to answer questions about Pizarro and how the Inca used the quipu to relay messages.
