This fall, we read "Childhood of Famous Americans: Thomas A. Edison Young Inventor" and used Beyond FIAR Volume I. We had a great time learning about Thomas Edison's life and inventions! 
When we read how he and his friend used a telegraph to communicate, we built and used one ourselves. We found instructions here.
When we learned how, as a teenager, Thomas Edison began printing and selling his own newspaper, we took a tour of the local newspaper.
We also tried our own block printing, learned about the Periodic Table of Elements, made our own flip books and are working on making our own "motion picture" about the birth of Jesus.
