We’re really simplifying this year. You can see our Game Plan here.
Here are activities I found when we did Cycle 3 last time. The book list has been updated.
___________________________
History: Industrial Revolution
Intro: You have your pick–trusty YouTube or any of the 70+ videos found here.
I loosely picked activities around this lesson plan.
- Research an inventor or invention or a few. The worksheet will work for older kids and younge kids can do a coloring sheet or oral presentation to a family member. Here’s a pretty comprehensive list of invetors and inventions.
- Give each child a shoebox of materials such as glue, tape, scissors, rubber bands, small plastic containers, and cardboard tubes and have them create an invention and then explain it.
- Do this assembly line activity. Alternatives can be found here. While your working, talk about workplace conditions and how they’ve improved over the years.
Science: Elements and Matter*
*Remember I’m not really following the memory work for science this semester. More on that and a more comprehensive Amazon widget are here.
Elements are explained on page 29 of Christian Kids Explore Chemistry
If you don’t have the book (or even if you do), there are a couple great experiment/activity books on the states of matter below.
