Description
Our Thomas Edison lesson plan focuses on his inventions and how they have influenced us today. It also spends a little time on how Edison is an inspiring historical figure because he overcame disadvantages and he lived by the idea that failure was a good part of success and to never give up. During this lesson, students are asked to create a timeline of Edison’s life, including events from the lesson material and from their own research. Students are also asked to answer questions about Edison based on the lesson.
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify important accomplishments in the life of Thomas Edison and how they impacted modern-day inventions.
