Flight / Aviation Unit Study

This was an interesting unit to put together. There really wasn’t a lot of printables that I could find. I am thinking of making my own when we do this theme. If I do, I will put them on Google Docs and share them with you. It has been quite a while since I made my own notebooking pages and minibooks! LOL

I hope that what I did find will be useful to you!

As with all my units, I try to incorporate resources for a variety of ages!

Everything is either free or cheap! The books can be found at your local library, on Amazon, or on Paperback Swap.

 

 

SCIENCE KITS

 

Magic School Bus – Soaring into Flight - Amazon – $13.79

Young Scientist Kit – Flight – $16.77

I have used kits from both sets. I like them both but prefer the Magic School Bus kits. You get more for your money with them.

The Young Scientist sets have 3 different subjects to a kit if you order them from Amazon. I used to belong to the monthly club until I figured out it was MUCH cheaper to buy them from Amazon.

Middle Ages Unit Study

Yesterday was crazy busy here. Both girls had appointments at the eye doc. Both girls will be getting new glasses. SIGH….. Seems their vision is getting worse. BOTH OF THEM!!! Deanna is going back to bifocals and Cailey’s astigmatisms are getting worse. SO not good news!!!! I had hoped to have a new tutorial up for you today but it looks like that may have to wait until tomorrow or the next day. :/ In the meantime, check out this unit study!

Most of the units I put together can be used for elementary through middle school and some could be stretched to high school, as well. I usually try to throw in some things for younger kids, too. I know that most of us are teaching a few ages at once! LOL

BOOKS –  

Most of these can be found at your library, cheap on Amazon OR on Paperback Swap (my favorite book site).

I have to admit, there weren’t as many bear things easily found as I thought there would be. :/ Most of the stuff seems to be geared toward the very young (teddy bears).

If you want to do a specific bear, you could probably find more things.
