There are lots of ways to connect social studies to science. Our in class activity was a great! We were introduced to the activity as if it were going to learn a history lesson about the great scientist of the Scientific Revolution. However, we actually got in there after learning sabot the times and conducted some investigations. (I'm kinda bummed I missed out in the balloon thing!) For example, if you wanted to teach your students about medieval architecture, you could have them experiment with similar building materials and have them create their own fortress. I think history is much more interesting and engaging if you can make it come alive, much like we did in class.
Overall- I was mucho impressed with this tactic!
