A Wichita Cottage
GRADE 6 Energy of Yesteryear
Following an 8-minute slide presentation, the class separates into two groups to take turns touring the seven rooms of the Wichita Cottage, emphasizing the fuels used, the forms of energy utilized, and how these influenced the design and function of the average 1890s home in Wichita. Children's chores and pre-electronic entertainment are illustrated, and students demonstrate an apple peeler, coffee grinder, crimping iron, and hand-pumped vacuum cleaner. (Duration: 1 hour)
