Henry Ford
Henry Ford was one of the most interesting inventors in American history. Students will learn about his early life and see the curiosity that motivated him. They'll discover that he was a hard worker and that once he set his mind on a goal, he didn't give up until he reached it. Students will have an opportunity to take apart machines to see how they work, then try to put them back together as Ford enjoyed doing. They'll look at pictures of Ford's first car and his Model T to compare them and see what improvements Ford made in the later car. Through an action song students will discover that riding in a car in Ford's day was fraught with difficulties. They'll be able to design their own cars and they'll discover why Ford's Model T was the most popular car in America. They'll even get to experience working on an assembly line, and be able to set up their own automobile museum in the classroom.
The study culminates with a Ford Festival with students involved in the food, decorations and entertainment.
