April 15 is Leonardo Da Vinci’s birthday. Here are some
suggestions for a fun project about him. You can break students into groups and
have them do the following parts or have them do it individually.
Reading: Why is
Leonardo Da Vinci famous? Find one of the things that made him famous and read
about it. Tell what you found out. (Or make a poster of it).
Geography: Locate
where you are on a map. Locate on a map where he was born.
Math: How far
away was he born from where you are right now? How old would he be today? How
much older would he be than you today?
Writing: Write a
letter to Leonardo Da Vinci as if he traveled through time to your classroom
today. How would you explain the world to him? What important things should he
know? What questions would you ask him? Now write a letter back to yourself as
if you were Leonardo Da Vinci describing today’s world through his eyes. How
would he answer your questions?
Science – Why was
Leonardo Da Vinci important to science?
