Read a grid map of the Discovery Isles, use the legend, follow five direction clues, and tell the difference between an observation and a guess.
Section 1
Start at the Compass Tower. Follow each clue and mark where you land.
Label north, south, east and west on the edges
Section 2
Label the four directions on the map: north, south, east, west. Then write which direction the waterfall is from the cave.
Section 3
Check only the sentences that are observations: things you can actually see.
How can an explorer check a guess?
The last challenge is the big one. Explorers say “I see” before they say “I think.” Praise them for noticing the difference, not for getting the right island.
