12x18 on 65# cover weight kraft paper A tribute to Nikola Tesla. Tesla was born in 1856, reportedly during an electrical storm. In 1881 he became an electrical engineer. He developed the induction motor still used today. He came to the US and worked for Thomas Edison who promised him $50,000. After much work that made Edison famous, Edison refused to pay and Tesla went on his own. He developed the Tesla coil which in 1899 he built and lit a fluorescent bulb a mile away, through the air, no wires. In 1887 he invented alternating current which put him directly at odds with Edison who was pushing his direct current. Westinghouse bought 7 Tesla patents. The 1893 Worlds Fair was to be lit by Tesla alternating current. Edison refused to let Tesla use his bulbs so Tesla made his own. 1898 built the electric igniter for gas engines. In 1896 Niagara Falls Power ran 20 miles of his AC to Buffalo. Westinghouse was in financial straits due to fights with Edison. Tesla gave up his royalties to help Westinghouse and said there was greater inventions ahead. 1898 came up with a radio controlled boat. 1917 he discussed radio waves for speed and position. Seventeen years later this became known as Radar. He was an odd character. He feared germs. Said he spoke to Martians. He healed injured pigeons and hated women's jewelry. Did everything in groups of three. He also built an oscillator to try and match frequency with a building in Manhattan to shake it. It worked. Police stopped him and destroyed the instrument. In 1934 he spoke of a particle ray to shoot down aircraft. He died in 1943. He was a brilliant odd genius and quite enjoyable character to study. If you could go back in history and meet someone interesting he would be a good choice! This print is not available in any other sizes.

One of my new Common Core ELA Units is called "Figure it Out." It is about notable people who overcame challenges to become successful in life. We read about Helen Keller, Leonardo da Vinci, George Washington Carver and Thomas Edison. We created lap-books using an Invention Brochure that I bought on TPT from This Little Piggy Reads. The printables fit nicely on the file folder. Here are some samples of my student's work. I made a sample but allowed my students to use their own creativity.
