I know this is a little late in coming however, I wanted to share some of our projects we’ve done using our Konos curriculum, as well as other theme units I have done with the kids.
The first I am showing is the lighthouse we made during our Authority and Light Unit from Konos. During that unit we studied a variety of different forms of light, from God made light (sun and fire) to man made light (controlled fire and light bulbs.) We also studied God’s “light” in the world; His perfect love and guidance. When learning about the light bulb we studied the different ways people tried to make it work, as well as the final inventor Thomas Edison who after several tries did make it work. We broke a light bulb apart to study the tungsten filament, and all the other parts instrumental in the bulbs working order. In addition to light bulbs we also studied rainbows, and the prism effect, and lighthouses. The Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria, in Egypt (one of the 7 wonders of the world) was one of the most famous we studied. As a fun wrap up dh and I helped the children build a lighthouse and wire it to light up. We all had so much fun with this unit; I can hardly believe this was education!! LOL!!
