{Classical Conversations} Cycle 3 | Week 18

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: Pearl Harbor

Like WWI, WWII is covered in Cycle 2 so we’ll focus on the U.S. event of Pearl Harbor and resulting Japanese Internment.

These are great lesson plans.

There is a cool interactive timeline and map that we’ll use with PC2TV.

For older kids, check out this hour-by-hour account complete with discussion questions and writing prompts.

Science: Molecules

We’ll be doing Lesson 10 in Christian Kids Explore Chemistry which is on molecules. It includes a modeling activity using styrofoam balls.  You can find other ideas for household materials here (i.e., clay).  If you’re more into virtual, check out these.
