Instructional Ideas

• Activity #3 is a wonderful opportunity for a hands-on, collaborative activity. You can also post your class project up in your classroom for a holiday like the Fourth of July, or throughout the school year in general

Pros

• Includes four activity options with cross-curricular extensions
• Worksheet included for family/home assignment

Cons

• Some of the activities address the concept from a very surface-level standpoint
• The family/home activity, while incorporating a mathematical/scientific approach, seems to devalue the concept of freedom; consider alternatives for a more mathematically based activity
