We're slowly studying our way through a book on Ben Franklin and his experiments, patents, and life. I'm looking for activities or anything anyone thinks is great to learn while studying about Ben. My dd is in 6th grade.
Have you checked out this site http://www.nps.gov/inde/forteachers/curriculummaterials.htm They have some great stuff for lessons. You could also check out Homeschool in the Woods Time Traveler CD for the American Revolution.
