Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
When you think of Paris, France, more often than not, the image of the Eiffel Tower comes to mind. In this class, we will learn about Niagara Falls, using the "Where Is the Eiffel Tower" book by Dina Anastasio as a basis for our studies. It is not required to have this book for class, but some learners may find it useful to read along with each lesson. 

In this 5 week class, we will learn: 

Class 1 - A brief history of France and a look at it's culture; 
Class 2 - A look at the Galerie des Machines and new technology of the time
Class 3 - Who was Gustave Eiffel? What is an engineer? Building the Statue of Liberty;
Class 4 - Building the Tower; 1889 the Tower opens; 
Class 5 - Using the tower as a radio antenna; The tower during both World Wars; Daredevils, lights, and the media; Class will end with a Kahoot trivia quiz
