Unit: “Renaissance Era”

The “Renaissance Era” unit engages 9th and 10th-grade students in a 4- to 6-week interdisciplinary project integrating science, arts, mathematics, engineering, and technology. The primary objective is to explore the Renaissance period and its impact on modern advancements. Students will learn about significant Renaissance figures and their contributions to various STEAM fields. Through hands-on projects, they will connect historical events and figures to contemporary STEAM concepts. Activities include creating a timeline of important events, drawing using a one-point perspective, building models based on Leonardo da Vinci’s sketches, constructing a telescope, and simulating the printing process. The unit emphasises problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.
