Arts and Crafts Unit Activities <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2184.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2184.html These are some really cool ideas for building a unit study around the theme of arts and crafts. We aren�t just talking about paper, paste, and paint anymore. People use arts and crafts as part of their careers, or build a career around the entire idea of arts and crafts. Science Fun: Solar System Song <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2182.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2182.html Here is a fun activity for teaching the order of the planets in our solar system. When information is memorized through music, it generally gets transferred to long term memory easier. The Lewis and Clark Expedition <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2189.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2189.html by Karen Caroe Karen Caroe has again done a fantastic job of creating a fun and interesting unit study, this time on the Lewis and Clark Expedition! Franklin Pierce: A Presidential Unit <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2190.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2190.html Franklin Pierce was born 23 Nov 1804 in Hillsborough, New Hampshire in a log cabin on the Contoocook River. He was the 14th US President and the first president to be born in the 19th century. Pierce died 8 Oct 1869, in Concord, New Hampshire Kings, Queens, and Castles: A Unit Study <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2192.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2192.html by Karen Caroe European culture dominated the Middle Ages. We think of Medieval England when we think of the Middle Ages--and that is mostly what is covered in this Funschool Unit. New York � A State Unit Study <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2193.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2193.html by HOST egroup This mini unit on NEW YORK uses the cross curricular approach to education. There are several activities from different academic subjects for you to choose from. One of the most important things is to have fun! [Note: This unit focuses on New York as a whole, not on the 9/11 tragedy that occurred there. You can decide for yourself whether to include related information on that topic or not, depending on your children�s age and family circumstance.] Game Time: Authors <http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2194.html>http://www.easyfunschool.com/article2194.html This is a great learning game that can also be a cooperative game. All you need are pieces of paper for the equipment.
