How are you this morning? Before I begin a new day I wanted to bring you Homeschool Resources featuring Free Topics of the Week.
How Edison Invented the Light Bulb
Tornadoes don’t just happen anywhere and anytime. The weather has to be just right to spawn twisters. So where and when are the best conditions in the world for tornadoes? On the Great Plains of the United States, in the springtime.
Rube Goldberg (1883–1970) was a Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist, sculptor, and author. Each of his “Inventions” cartoons shows the hard way to perform a simple task.
Where and When the Maya Flourished
Thousands of years ago, not one human lived in all of North or South America. Then, around 15,000 B.C., the first people arrived from Asia. Slowly, they traveled south, and some settled in parts of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Later, they became known as the Maya.
