I also created science themed centers to go along with this theme. Skills taught include: Science Vocabulary, Aviation Words, Inflectional Endings, Homophones, and MORE!
Here is a PEEK:
I checked out lots of Biographies about Inventors:
We started the week off learning about Benjamin Franklin!! My students LOVED it!! They recorded some facts in a Science Contributors Notebook!
Here is a picture of my anchor chart! I forgot to take a picture of the student's notebooks! Sorry!
The students practiced some Science Vocabulary Words.
In Word Work or Phonics students practiced Inflectional Endings. The students learned the double rule and that sometimes you have to drop an e BEFORE you add -ed or -ing.
The students became word inventors by heating some potions and building a new word!! They LOVED this activity!

We also practiced matching homophones!
In this unit I also included a vocabulary activity where the students used aviation words to create an Airplane Adventure book.
Here is part of my sample:
The students practiced word wall words to write about what they would like to INVENT!
