Integrating Lessons

Well the introduction that we began was history. One activity that we did was which ball bounced the most. You could integrate this activity into an economics lesson talking about goods and services. You could also talk about the different types of resources used to make the balls. For the pendulum activity it could be tied into history and where the pendulum came from and how it was used. Then the balloon activity could be integrated with a geography lesson on how people get around in different places and on different types of transportation that is used and which one is the quickest. You could also integrate the balloon activity w/ math also, by having the students calculate the distance from one point to the other and then how long it would take them to get there using different types of transportation.
