This four-week study includes the history of lighthouses, their different designs, the science of the lights and how they work, as well as the geography of lighthouse locations. Lighthouses are intricately woven into the fabric of American history, and there are many people and places involved in the study. Did you know that Rudyard Kipling lived in an American lighthouse while writing one of the classic stories about American sailors? Did you know that one of the earliest lighthouse structures was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

Favorite books and Internet sites are included in the lesson plans as well as a large resource collection of Internet sites for each week of study.
