The Enlightenment was a period in history within the Age of Reason (roughly 1620-1845) where many important discoveries and bright ideas occurred, including the Great Awakening. Students enjoyed a week long thematic unit with a Living Museum and workshop. There are 300+ hours of student-videos and 100+ thank you notes. Enjoy!...

Dear Sir Francis Bacon,
Thank you for skepticism and the development of the scientific method. I am thankful for your contributions to the enlightenment era and to my society today. Even my science classes have been impacted by your intelligence and dedication to the laws of science.
