In the Inventions and Ideas unit, students will be learning about the ideas that have changed our world, patents, and creating their own inventions throughout the month. They will also be learning each day about messages that are all around us, how to take our thoughts captive, and test what we hear with the Word of God. In our final week, students will be using what they learned about messages to either design an ad or record commercial advertising their invention. Nearly every single day has an optional, simple science experiment or hands-on adaptation, while also giving options to watch a video for families that don't have the time or supplies on hand.
This unit is rich with beautiful illustrations, deep discussions (we don't shy away from anything), and seeped in God's Word. Come take a journey with us to learn from our past and see how it has influenced the world we live in today.
What to buy? You can purchase a leveled bundle with one student notebook of your choice and the Teacher's Guide, or the full family bundle that includes all levels with the Teacher's Guide. If you have more than one child you are buying for, it is more economical to get the full bundle to re-use in the future with your kids at older levels. All digital bundles come as an instant download in PDF format for you to print at home.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
