Personal Use Download. This item is for personal use only. You may use it for your own children as needed. If you are using the curriculum in a multiple-family co-op group or a school class, you will need to purchase the Classroom version of the curriculum.

Age Group: These unit studies are intended for elementary students ages Kindergarten - 5th or 6th grades.

Each of my scientist & inventor unit studies contains educational lessons, activities and a fun lap book that your students will work on as they progress through the study. The lessons also include book reports, vocabulary, character traits of these important figures, and critical thinking skills. I currently have 7 studies in this series. These studies are geared towards grades Kindergarten-4th, but can probably be adapted for older students as well.

 

 

 

This study uses the Wright Brothers scientists and inventors series by Mike Venezia, but students are welcome to use any other researched information they can find as well. I would highly encourage older students to do some independent research on their scientist and inventor prior to completing their final report.

 

In this unit students will learn all about the Wright Brothers , their childhood history, lifetime achievements, characteristics, as well as some of their greatest inventions and contributions. Below is a sample of the Lapbook that students will create as they learn about the Wright Brothers. Activities for this unit include:

• All About Orville Wright
• All About Wilbur Wright
• Inspiration
• First Bicycle Company
• Characteristics
• New Discoveries
• Wing Warping
• Airplane Parts & Terms
• History of Aircraft
• Idea Book
• Paper Airplane Activity
• Vocabulary
• A Final Report

 

 

The study also includes a final report on the Wright Brothers for students to complete. There are several different formats of the report to accommodate varying student grade levels that might be completing the unit.
