History of Light

Here are some pictures from our History of Light lesson. The lesson started with primitive man and their dependence on the sun and moon and how fire changed how they lived. With a lot of effort, we were able to start a fire using flint stone, jute, and char cloth. It took a lot of sparks to get the fire going, but it worked! We looked at the invention of the candle, oil lamp, kerosene lamp, light bulb, florescent light, LED light and talked about inventions on the horizon using solar energy. This lesson allows the children to see how these inventions changed the way we live.
