mamaofredheads Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 What are your favorite architecture & inventions resources? DS almost 12 would like to study these next year. Would love suggestions for videos, audio books, hands-on kits or projects, unit studies, books, biographies, etc. If you've put together a similar program, I'd love to hear what you've done. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Pitsco.com might have something you could use. I've not ordered from them, but they have some cool things. Their website is a little daunting, I find their catalog much easier to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Pitsco.com might have something you could use. I've not ordered from them, but they have some cool things. Their website is a little daunting, I find their catalog much easier to read. That is a very dangerous website. :tongue_smilie: The homeschool section especially. This thread reminded me to get out the Complete-A-Sketch I bought a while back. It's an intro to technical sketching and drafting.

Kalmia Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 www.dickblick.com, the art supply store, has three wood architecture kits. Expensive but beautiful and complete. Two-story townhouse, Hip Roof House Structure Kits, and Truss Roof House Structure Kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
