What educators are saying
My students loved this book, and this resource was a great way to add some stem activities to the lesson.
Description
Ten months before the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair architects and engineers were clamoring for the chance to design a star attraction to rival the French Eiffel Tower. A daring engineer named George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. overcomes obstacles including money, mockery, and quicksand to create a wheel that has delighted fairgoers for over 100 years!
The following companion includes multiple ELA activities for retelling, comparing, cause and effect, character evaluation, authors purpose/message, a writing prompt, and vocabulary. Additionally, I have included a STEM activity to accompany the story! There are several background and instructional pages as well as posters, a recording page, and a journal to guide students through the engineering process.
Students of all ages will truly enjoy diving into this incredible story as well as engaging in the engineering design process.
