Q. How does a homeschooler 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 money.
Finally, after building a ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.
