Q: How does a home schooler change a light bulb?

A: First, Mom checks three books on electricity
out of the library, then the kids make models of
light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison
and do a skit based on his life.

Next, everyone studies the history of lighting
methods, wrapping up with dipping their own
candles.

Then, 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. And there is light.


Got this from another list.
