  • Great segue into scientific discoveries of industrial age

    Amanda M. - 4 years 7 months ago

    A great Homeschool addition that helps to address the beginning of the industrial age in history in addition to numerous science topics (physics, motion, steam etc..). Lots of in depth information for any child who thoroughly enjoys either history or engineering.
