First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then
the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison
and do a skit based on his life. Next, everyone studies the history of
lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles. Next,
everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light
bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if
they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill. On the way
home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham
Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill. Finally, after
building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the
light bulb is installed. And there is light.
...oh wait, we haven't done Grammar today!
