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: President Wilson and WWI
Because another Cycle 2 covers WWI more thoroughly (at least in my head), I really wanted to focus on the American involvement rather than the entire War.
Intro: Videos on the Lusitania and German attacks on U.S. Navy boats.
- Lesson plan for older students (see Lesson Six)
- Article on last survivor
- Color countries involved (see map)
- Listen to lots of books on mp3. The kids will be super-excited to listen to Kit: An American Girl (all the stories).
Science: Periodic Table
Intro: YouTube video. WARNING: He does say “crap” near the beginning.
- Lesson 9 from Christian Kids Explore Chemistry
- Periodic Table Game (We’ve already played this and it was great fun!)
- Tom Lehrer has a song that lists all of the elements alphabetically called “The Elements.“
