Lesson Plans and Student Projects

There are many lesson plans and student projects that teachers might use to illustrate Adventure themes. One lesson plan, developed especially for the Boston Fed, is Intellectual Property: How Allowing People to Own Ideas Helps Fuel Innovation. Wholly effective without a visit to the Adventure facility at the Boston Fed, this lesson plan was originally offered in conjunction with an Adventure exhibit on patent models.

In addition, we recommend other lesson plans and projects because they

  • illustrate a theme of the Adventure,

  • cover the same historical period as one of the Adventure case studies (Francis Cabot Lowell, Colonel Albert Pope, Ken Olsen), and/or

  • provide an engaging approach to a related subject matter.
