I can’t believe we’ve knocked another unit out! I was somewhat dreading this unit because the topic seemed rather dry and dull, but I was in for a pleasant surprise once we dove in!!
The A Journey Through Learning lapbook was an outstanding spine. I had never used one of their lapbooks before, but it won’t be the last one! It was put together in a very organized, simple to implement way - refreshing!!
We also completed some of our own inventions using ideas from the Teacher Created Materials Inventions book. (You can find links to the books I’m mentioning below.) The kids LOVED creating their own inventions. I’ve put together a little slideshow of our lapbooks and inventions….
Below is the list of resources that have been in the sidebar. We read a few more great books from the library, too…Lights Out
Inventors and Inventions
Lesson Idea Links from The Homeschool Mom
Next stop, Simple Machines! You can find the resources for that unit in the sidebar very soon.
Welcome to my blog! I'm a home school mom to three of the sweetest children - 12, 9 and 2. We use a very eclectic style - mostly Charlotte Mason mixed with classical. We love unit studies, lapbooking and notebooking. And books, books, books! Personally, I love to encourage and inspire homeschoolers new and old.
