Amelia Earhart Lesson Plan

3/4/2014

Picture

Make Your Own Airplane

Picture

What You Will Need
Wooden Clothes Pins
Skinny Popsicle Sticks (Regular and Short Length)
Paint in your choice of colors
Paint brushes
Glue (Elmer’s or Hot Glue Gun)

How to Make It
There are two ways you can go about the painting of the clothes pins and popsicle sticks.  If your child is old enough, let them do the painting.  If you have a smaller child, go ahead and pre-paint your items using bright colors.  Be sure to use different colors for the clothes pins and the popsicle sticks.  Then set them aside and let them dry.

You will want to glue your two longer popsicle sticks on the top and bottom of your clothes pin near the metal joint.  Then glue your shorter stick near the back of the clothes pin on the top side.  Let your child be involved with this.  If the wings are a little crooked, it’s OK – it simply gives your plane character:-)

Once all your “wings” are glue on, set aside your airplanes and let them dry.  MillerBug was so thrilled with his creation that he could hardly wait for them to dry!

Once your airplanes are dry, you’re ready to give them a home!

Harriet Tubman was an American bondwoman who escaped from slavery in the South to become a leading abolitionist before the American Civil War. She was born in Maryland in 1820, and successfully escaped in 1849. Yet she returned many times to rescue both family members and non-relatives from the plantation system. She led hundreds to freedom in the North as the most famous "conductor" on the Underground Railroad, an elaborate secret network of safe houses organized for that purpose.
