Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other

Religious Content
Secular
Contains content contrary to common Christian beliefs (i.e. evolution).
Neutral
Avoids religious or theoretical topics or presents multiple viewpoints without preference.
Christian/Religious
Faith-based or including instructional religious content.
Learning Modality
Auditory
Learns through listening, talking out loud or reading out loud.
Visual
Learns through seeing, prefers written instructions and visual materials.
Kinesthetic/Tactile (Hands-On)
Learns through moving, doing and touching.
Multi-Sensory
Curriculum that employ a variety of activities/components.
Presentation
Sequential
Curriculum progresses through well-defined learning objectives. Emphasizes mastery before moving to the next topic.
Spiral

Description
This kit will blow you away! With the Incredible Inflatable Aero Dancer, introduce physics to kids in a fun, hands-on way, and explore simple aerodynamics with several interactive experiments! First, assemble the fan and its motor, then experiment with air pressure by attaching the fabric tube man. Turn on the air and watch as it blows through him to make him dance! Remove the tube from the fan, and observe more effects of air flow by performing 4 foam ball experiments. Make the balls float, shoot baskets, launch out of a cannon, and more! Flip through the 8 full-color pages for easy-to-follow instructions, experiments, and explanations. Includes QR codes for assembly help and all 5 experiments! Items required, but not included, are a 9V battery, a small Phillips head screwdriver, scissors, tape, and 2 pencils. 16 total pieces. Tube and blower stand are over a foot tall. ~ Sarah E
Publisher's Description of Incredible Inflatable Aero Dancer
Build a zany inflatable tube dancer that uses the physics of flowing air to perform its eye-catching moves. Like the air dancers and tube men you may have seen around your town, this motorized device uses a blower motor and a fabric tube to slink, shimmy, and shake around. Assemble the model to learn about its inner mechanisms, including fan and electric circuit, complete with battery, motor, and switch. Conduct four fun additional experiments that demonstrate principles in air pressure, air flow, and aerodynamics. Make a ball float on a stream of air, practice your aim in a game of air basketball, and launch balls into the air with the air cannon. This hands-on kit brings physics to life as it demonstrates the power of air pressure at work. An eight-panel, full-color manual guides your model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.
+ Build a model that "dances" on air – over one foot tall!
+ Assemble and decorate your own inflatable tube dancer.
+ Adjust the blower to change the dancer's motion.
+ Conduct experiments to learn lessons in air pressure, airflow, and aerodynamics.
+ Learn about gears and circuits as you assemble the fan.
+ Includes fun, hands-on activities like air basketball, a floating ball trick, and an air cannon.
