HEROES OF INVENTION
By Amanda Bennett
All new
in Amanda's Hero Series, ready to be used in your studies of history
this year. Using fascinating stories of
early inventors, Amanda has assembled 18 historical studies of various inventors
from centuries past. Using stories of these inventors (written in the 1800s),
she has developed a wonderful set of studies that teach not only about the
inventors and their inventions, but also about the history of the time, the trials they endured and how
they stayed committed to their ideas.
Perfect for the student that is
imaginative and creative --
Helps them to
see how others have used these special traits as a blessing!
Your student will become familiar with the ideas that were involved in those early days of the Industrial Revolution, while enjoying the stories of these men's lives from boyhood through their adult lives. With many illustrations, these printable pages can form a sound basis for several areas of study - from European history to American history, from the scientific basics of flight by balloon to the principles of steam, the story studies hold the student's interest in a way that textbooks cannot approach. Recommended for 5th - 9th grades.
Do you have student that is an
"out-of-the-box" type of thinker?
A bit different, and in need of some encouragement?
These studies can be a breath of fresh air for them,
and an assurance that it's OK to be different!
With many illustrations and clickable Internet links throughout the studies, you will find that these studies are interesting and educational, moving the student along through changes in civilization with real people and real struggles. Some of the people were involved in the Reformation and other church-related movements - helping your student begin to see the big picture, that nothing that happens is just science or just history. God has woven all of these people and events together in a most captivating way, and these studies help students grasp this concept.
