How does a Homeschooler Change a Lightbulb?

First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library.

Then the kids make models of the light bulbs, read a 
biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life. 

Then everyone studies the history of lighting methods, 
wrapping up with dripping their own candles. 


Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare 
types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how 
much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99  and
pay with a five dollar bill.



On the way home a discussion develops over the history of 
money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the 
five dollar bill.




Finally, after building a homemade ladder, out of branches 
dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.
