This is a unit that I
have done with my children. Your resources
will probably not be
similar to mine.
But I just want you to
see what we have done with what we had!
Have fun!
This unit will take approximately 7-8 weeks.
We have used DK books, local library books, Usborne
books,
4H materials, dictionaries, Science in the Creation
Week, an encyclopedia
and other "easy" to find reference material.
