Learn how to teach history in your homeschool with hands-on projects, timelines, co-ops, and a Christian worldview with Felice Gerwitz and guest Meredith Curtis.Taking the Mystery Out of Teaching History in Your Homeschool

How can you move beyond dry dates and dull textbooks and make history a favorite subject in your homeschool? In this episode of Vintage Homeschool Moms, Felice Gerwitz is joined by longtime friend and fellow homeschool mom Meredith Curtis to talk about teaching history in a way that sparks excitement and long-term retention—from the early years all the way through high school.

You’ll hear practical ideas for using biographies, co-ops, timelines, cooking, music, art, original documents, and a Christian worldview to bring both American and world history to life.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear About:

History as “His Story”

  • Why Felice sees history as God’s story unfolding through time

  • The importance of teaching historic facts without revisionist or secular spin

  • How a biblical, creationist worldview changes the way you approach history resources

Why Just Reading the Textbook Isn’t Enough

  • Why most students won’t remember much from simply reading and answering end-of-chapter questions

  • How Felice and Meredith both started with textbooks but quickly realized they needed more

  • How to use a solid textbook as a jumping-off point for unit studies, hands-on work, and deeper discussion

Hands-On History in the Early Years

  • Using biographies and picture books (even with teens!) to make historical figures feel real

  • Simple ways to add fun:

    • Coloring pages or doodling during read-alouds for kids who focus better while their hands are busy

    • Simple crafts, skits, and pretend diaries written in the voice of a historical character

    • Themed days such as “Pioneer Day” or “Christmas in Colonial America”

  • How Meredith’s family used cooking as history in their co-op:

    • Geography year: authentic foods from each country

    • American history: recipes from different eras (including an authentic turtle soup recipe!)

    • Ancient history: foods that would have been eaten in the ancient world

  • Using Christmas unit studies tied to specific time periods and having your kids:

    • Make historically themed wrapping paper

    • Plan menus based on the era you’re studying

    • Bake cookies and foods that match the culture and time

What Is a Homeschool Co-op (and Do You Need One)?

  • A clear, simple definition of a homeschool co-op:

    A group of three or more families learning together, with parents sharing teaching responsibilities.

  • How Felice and Meredith have homeschooled:

    • Just their own family

    • With one other family over many years (which eventually grew into a church co-op)

    • With larger, more structured co-ops

  • Examples of memorable co-op activities:

    • A medieval or colonial feast with costumes, bread-as-plates, eating with fingers, and “bones on the floor” to mimic the era

    • Weather stations and student “broadcasts”

    • Outdoor activities like jousting and historical games

Planning Your Week for History Success

  • How Felice structured her week in the early years:

    • Half-year focus: American history first half, science second half—then later alternating by days instead

    • Monday & Wednesday – History

    • Tuesday & Thursday – Science

    • Friday – Catch-up and field trip day

  • Why it’s okay to skip a day and then catch up with a synopsis instead of feeling “behind”

  • How field trips bless both kids and moms with community and shared experiences

Timelines, Dates, and Maps: Pegs for Memory

  • Using timelines in notebooks or all around the room so kids can “see” history across the ages

  • Doing a giant floor-length timeline and assigning each child a century to fill with key events

  • Marking history with Christ as the focal point:

    • Creation

    • Major biblical events (Noah, Abraham, David, Jesus)

    • Key turning points like the fall of Rome, the Battle of Hastings, Magna Carta, the Reformation, exploration, and more

    • Ending the timeline with “Jesus returns” to remind students that history has a beginning and an end

  • Why Meredith has her students memorize a small set of crucial dates as “pegs” for everything else

  • Using maps to:

    • Track explorers (Columbus, Balboa, Cabot, etc.) in different colors

    • Notice that cities and civilizations grow around water and fertile land

    • Connect geography to culture, trade, and war

Moving into Middle & High School: Going Deeper

  • Keeping everyone in the same time period while assigning more advanced work (projects, papers, and readings) to older students

  • Beginning to emphasize the “why” behind events:

    • Laws and changes in light of the U.S. Constitution

    • How different cultures’ worldviews shape their decisions, art, laws, and daily life

  • Using original documents and primary sources:

    • Reading real accounts of events like the Salem witch trials instead of relying on modern commentary

    • Looking at historic speeches, letters, and newspaper articles

  • Encouraging teens to evaluate current events through the lens of the Constitution and Scripture

Music, Art, Architecture, and Fashion in World History

  • Exploring how philosophy, literature, and worldview show up in:

    • Architecture

    • Paintings and sculpture

    • Music styles (Gregorian chant, Renaissance, Romantic, etc.)

    • Clothing and everyday objects

  • Comparing different periods:

    • Why Renaissance art is breathtaking but some students find Renaissance music hard to enjoy

    • How Romantic art, literature, music, and architecture all share a recognizable “feel”

  • Introducing teens to Francis Schaeffer’s classic series on culture, art, and philosophy to see how ideas shape civilizations

Literature + History + Writing

  • Pairing your history spine with:

    • American literature for U.S. history

    • British and world literature for world history

  • Using classics like Anne of Green Gables and C.S. Lewis to:

    • Stretch vocabulary and appreciation for language

    • Practice worldview evaluation and discussion

  • How Felice uses writing curriculums like WriteShop to strengthen high school writing in the context of history and literature studies

Creation vs. Evolution and Choosing Resources Wisely

  • Why Felice had to set aside a secular world history textbook that started with “ancient man” and evolutionary assumptions

  • Using creation science resources to compare claims and expose fallacies in evolutionary timelines

  • Encouraging teens to think critically about:

    • Fossil evidence

    • Assumptions in secular history texts

    • How worldview drives the story we tell about the past

American History & Government Courses for Homeschoolers
Use code: VHM50 to save $50 off of the American History video class.

  • Felice shares about the Media Angels American History and Government video classes:

    • Taught by AP-level instructor and award-winning professor Robert Woodrow Wilson

    • Recorded with a live audience

    • Heavy use of visuals, timelines, and “fabulous facts”

    • Students match key inventions, events, and people to the correct presidents and eras

  • How these classes help:

    • Build a solid chronological framework

    • Encourage parent-led worldview discussion

    • Train students to evaluate political candidates and current issues using the Constitution

Field Trips, Local Museums, and Everyday Opportunities

  • Using local history (like Edison’s museum in Fort Myers, FL, or Victorian homes and pioneer villages) to make the past feel close and real

  • Finding “day trip” guidebooks for your state and exploring:

    • Hands-on museums

    • Historical homes

    • Small but meaningful local sites

  • Why field trips are worth the effort—even if some destinations turn out a little “lame”—because your kids remember the experiences forever.

Weather Modification I: What is Cloud Seeding?

July 21, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Finish Well Homeschool Podcast, Podcast #236, Weather Modification I: What is Cloud Seeding?, with Meredith Curtis on the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network

Weather Modification I: What is Cloud Seeding?

In “Weather Modification I: What is Cloud Seeding?” Episode, #236, Meredith Curtis introduces weather modification, a topic that has implications for you and your future! Cloud Seeding was first tried in 1946 and has been sanctioned by the government since the 1970s. How does it work? What are the benefits? What are the complications? This topic makes for a lively family dinner table discussion.

Show Notes

Cloud seeding impacts a large number of people, yet it is seldom discussed. So, let’s talk about it, starting with the basics.

What is Cloud Seeding?

Airplanes release a seeding agent into sub-cloud updrafts or drop the seeding agents directly into the upper regions of the clouds. This seeding agent acts as a condensation nuclei.

“Chinese scientists recently announced the results of a weather modification experiment conducted in the arid western region of Xinjiang. Using a fleet of cloud-seeding drones, the team reportedly increased rainfall by more than 4 percent across an area of more than 3,000 square miles (8,000 square kilometers) in a single day. According to the researchers, just 1 kilogram of silver iodide generated more than 70,000 cubic meters of additional precipitation, enough to fill 30 Olympic-sized swimming pools.” (Graceffo, Antonio, “The CCP’s Weather Modification Ambitions” https://www.theepochtimes.com/opinion/the-ccps-weather-modification-ambitions-5883068 7/13/2025. Accessed 7/19/2025.)

Cloud seeding can increase rainfall, prevent rain, or disperse fog. So, let’s do a quick review of why it rains.

What Makes it Rain?

Remember the water cycle? Water evaporates and rises in the air. As it rises, it cools and condenses into ice crystals. A condensation nuclei is needed for the water to condense. This might be dust, smoke, or salt particles.

What Seeding Agents, or Particulates, or Condensation Nuclei, are Used in Cloud Seeding?

In 1946, Vincent J. Schaefer used dry ice (solid carbon dioxide CO2) into clouds. This created snow.

Later that same year, Bernard Vonnegut used silver iodine (Ag1) could be used for cloud seeding.

Other known seeding agents:

  • Potassium Iodide (KI)
  • Propane (C3Hg)
  • Calcium Carbide (CAC2)
  • Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3)
  • Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
  • Urea Compound (CH4N2O)

Dubai uses Titanium for cloud seeding.

How Does Cloud Seeding Work?

By adding condensation nuclei to clouds, cloud seeding manipulates the structure of clouds. This causes the water crystals to fall to the earth as rain.

  • Static Cloud Seeding
  • Dynamic Cloud Seeding
  • Hygroscopic Cloud Seeding

How They Get the Condensation Nuclei into the Clouds?

Drones, rockets, and special airplanes are all used to shoot the particulates into the clouds. Canons and generators can also shoot condensation nuclei into the atmosphere, hoping it will find a cloud or targeting clouds specifically.

How Long has Cloud Seeding been Going On?

Experiments began and continued in 1946.

What Countries Use Cloud Seeding?

USA

  • The USA uses Cloud Seeding. In fact, it was used in the Vietnam War.
  • Next, the National Weather Modification Policy Act of 1976 – “let’s study this”.
  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Authorization Act of 1991 (102nd Congress 1991-1992)
  • Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has been issuing licenses and permits for weather modification projects for at least 20 years.
  • Private businesses who use Weather Modification must notify NOAA when they are going to weather modify.

United Arab Emirates (UAE)

Started in the 1990s. Cloud Seeding Missions: 187 (2014), 214 (2017), 184 (2018), 247 (2019). Research, prizes, and government involvement to pursue excellence.

Dubai

More recently, Dubai has followed UAE’s example and used cloud seeding to combat water scarcity.

India

India has experimented with cloud seeding since the 1980s especially during droughts. However, many Indians object to cloud seeding because of its effectiveness and environmental impact.

Indonesia

Indonesia uses cloud seeding to prevent flooding. Indonesia used cloud seeding to fight a fire-related haze in 2015 and to reduce flooding in Jakarta in 2013.

China

China is the leader in weather modification and uses cloud seeding in all kinds of ways, even to make sure clear skies are there for important political events.

Does Cloud Seeding have Positive Potential?

The main reason to use cloud seeding is to produce more rain. This can improve crop productivity, increase vegetation cover in an area, and help farmers.

Cloud seeding can modify weather, reduce the size of hailstones, and prevent the formation of fog. Cloud seeding brings relief to places with drought. It can make arid places more suitable for living.

Does Cloud Seeding have Negative Potential?

Cloud seeding harms the environment with the chemical compounds it uses. It is very expensive. Cloud seeding can harm people and animals. For example, silver iodide can impact human health negatively.

Cloud seeding needs clouds. No clouds. No cloud seeding. Flooding is probably the biggest negative of cloud seeding and is a big problem in China and UAE.

One Final Thought

The Creation Mandate. We are called to fill and subdue the earth.

  • Is weather modification part of subduing the earth?
  • What about harmful effects to the environment, people, animals, and plants?
  • Is the excess CO2 really from cows or it from pollution and cloud seeding?
  • Is the increase in cancer a result of exorbitant amounts of particulates in the air?
  • Finally, since cloud seeding impacts vast amounts of people, especially since clouds travel, should people have a say in whether we cloud seed or not?

Teen Summer Book Club!

July 7, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Finish Well Homeschool Podcast, Podcast #235, Teen Summer Book Club, with Meredith Curtis on the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network

Teen Summer Book Club!

In “Teen Summer Book Club,” Episode, #235, Meredith Curtis has a challenge for teens before summer ends: have a summer book club with friends and/or family. Just choose and read a book for pure enjoyment! Make it more exciting by discussing it with friends while you eat yummy food! Reading excellent literature for fun works out your brain, stretches your vocabulary, increases your attention span, cultivates compassion, and builds character. Plus when you read for fun, you release endorphins and add joy to life!

 

 

 

 

Cozy Mysteries by Meredith Curtis at Powerline Productions, Inc.

Powerline Productions, Inc.

Bringing Homeschool Joy to Families Everywhere!

Show Notes

“I read that book with a flashlight under the covers so I wouldn’t wake my sister!”

“I figured out who did it.”

“I thought I figured out who did it, but the ending shocked me!”

One summer in high school when boredom was encroaching, I made a list of classics I’d never read.

  • Pride & Prejudice
  • War & Peace
  • A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
  • The Deer Slayer

Summer Reading with Friends

How about you?

Are there books that interest you, but you’ve never read them?

Maybe childhood classics your friends talk about.

  • Little Women
  • The Five Little Peppers and How they Grew
  • GA Henty Adventure Novels

Do you have friends or family members who feel the same way?

Why not choose 1 book that everyone reads. Set a date and plan a book club. You could meet when everyone finishes the book or meet a couple times during the reading (after chapter 10 and after chapter 15).

Where to Meet

  • Beach
  • Ice Cream Parlor
  • Lake
  • Park
  • Family Room at Someone’s House
  • Backyard, Deck, Screened Porch
  • Restaurant
  • Tree House

What Do You Need to Host a Book Club?

  • A book
  • A discussion leader
  • Everyone to read the book and bring the book with them (or chosen chapters)
  • A comfortable place to sit where everyone can see each other (circles work great!)
  • Yummy food
  • Yummy drinks

Questions to Ask

So, how do you get the discussion going?

I start every book club with this question, “Did you like the book? Why or why not?” This often starts lively discussions because people have different opinions about the same book.

Another one of my favorite questions is “Was the ending satisfying?”  So many times we have ended up with folks sharing a new ending and others standing firm that the original ending is the best! It’s such fun when the discussion gets lively!

  • Did you like this book? Why or why not?
  • What was your favorite part of the book and why?
  • Who was your favorite character and why?
  • Did anything happen in the story that surprised you? Why did it surprise you? How did the author work things together to make it surprising?
  • Does any character in the book remind you of someone in your family or one of your friends?
  • Was there anyone in the book you didn’t like? Why didn’t you like them?
  • Was the ending satisfying?
  • What character did you relate to the most? Why?
  • What message do you think the author was trying to get across? Do you agree with that message?
  • Is there a quote from the book that was meaningful for you? Please share it. Why was it meaningful?
  • If this book were made into a movie, who would play the lead roles?
  • Would you recommend this book to other people? Why or why not?

Topics To Cover with Questions

Here are some things I like to cover in book clubs:

  • Plot
  • Characterization
  • Setting
  • Mood/Tone
  • Theme
  • Worldview
  • Foreshadowing

I don’t try to cover all of those topics in each book club. I will usually keep the discussion going by asking the questions, “What did you like about this character?” followed up by, “Why?” Then I will ask the kids who they didn’t like and why.

Rabbit Trails

Rabbit trails are the best part of book clubs.

Books can be like treasured friends because people and events remind us of our life. Or there are characters we’d love to be friends with or adventures we’d love to experience.

One time we were talking about our favorite characters in Little Women and we realized that most of us chose the character that we related to because we had similar personalities. This led to a whole discussion about personalities.

Historical fiction is fun because it make a time in the past come alive. This can lead to discussions on food, sanitation, transportation, fashion, customs, religion, etc.

Respect

Differing opinions is an important part of life. In America, we value freedom of speech. However, free speech doesn’t mean being crass, ugly, or rude. We share our opinions politely and we respect people’s opinions that are different from us. The exception is that the Bible has the final say.

The Blessings of Book Clubs

If you enjoy reading a book and discussing it with friends and/or family, you might ask to add book clubs to your English (Language Arts) classes.

We started a book club years ago when we were reading a challenging book in our homeschool co-op. We had so much fun and we realized that we learned so much more from literature and good books when we discussed them together.

As we discussed the elements of literature (plot, setting, characters, theme, point-of-view, voice) in a natural way, these things became easier and easier to understand and talk about. My teens loved discussing foreshadowing because it was like solving a mystery.  Symbolism was another fun topic because everyone brings a fresh perspective.

Yes, we loved sitting in comfortable chairs to talk about books and eat cookies, but we began to enjoy literature at a deeper level. Book clubs have enriched my children’s education and enjoyment of literature! All our English courses offer book clubs.

June 16, 2025 by Leave a Comment

Finish Well Homeschool Podcast, Podcast #234, Fourth of July Liberty & Responsibility, with Meredith Curtis on the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network

Fourth of July Liberty & Responsibility

In “Fourth of July Liberty & Responsibility,” episode #234 for teens and homeschool parents, Meredith Curtis reminds us of the freedoms we celebrate on our nation’s birthday. Personal liberty comes with authority and responsibility alongside accountability to God. Families have freedom with accountability, too. And what about church and state? Dive into a refreshing look at what makes the United States of America exceptional.

How do you spend Fourth of July? We’re going to visit our son and his family this year.

Fourth of July is a wonderful time to explore the freedoms that we have grown up with and take for granted. Personal liberty, freedom of speech, the right to trial by jury of your peers, and accountability of leaders to their citizens are things that many people throughout history have been denied. Where did freedom begin? Did it start with the Magna Charta? Or did it start even further back?

Back to the Creation & the Old Testament

According to Samuel Rutherford, in his book, Lex Rex (Law is King), written in the 1600’s by a Presbyterian pastor, the Bible makes it clear that the law is king. Rutherford took an in-depth look at Scripture and history to prove this, shattering the popular philosophy of the “divine right of kings” to rule as they please.

Everyone is equal under the law. Reformation & the Divine Right of Kings.

Our political rights and freedoms go all the way back to the Bible, the source of our rights and responsibilities. In the Garden, Adam and Eve had autonomy.

God has all authority & He delegated that authority to individuals, family, church, and state.

Individual Freedom

Freedom of thought, speech, decision-making, writing. Freedom to own property, start a business, succeed, fail, fall in love, get married, stay single, follow God, not follow God, care for the poor.

God delegates authority & responsibility along with that freedom.  What is the responsibility of man? To follow the Lord, to honor him, walk in His ways.

Accountability for actions, behavior, and fulfillment of responsibilities.

Galatians 5 tells us how to handle our freedom in Christ.

Family Freedom

Families are free to choose educational method for teaching children, how they raise their children, where they live, and who can part of their lives.

God delegates authority & responsibility along with that freedom.  What is the responsibility of family? To follow the Lord, to honor him, walk in His ways, to provide, protect, teach, raise children, clothe members, care for the poor, and care for sick & elderly.

Accountability for actions, behavior, and fulfillment of responsibilities.

Church Freedom

Churches have freedom from God to assemble, preach the Word, teach their doctrine, preach the Gospel, worship, administer church discipline, choose leaders, choose leadership style, care for the poor, and mentor members.

God delegates authority & responsibility along with that freedom.  What is the responsibility of church? See above freedoms

Accountability for actions, behavior, and fulfillment of responsibilities.

Government Freedom

Government has freedom to make laws and enforce them, protect the nation militarily, provide fair trial, protect individual & family & church freedoms.

God delegates authority & responsibility along with that freedom.  Accountability for actions, behavior, and fulfillment of responsibilities.

What is the responsibility of elected officials in USA (based on our form of government – Constitutional Republic)? To obey the Constitution, obey the law, lead with integrity, personal integrity, keep campaign promises, NOT take bribes.

What is the responsibility of citizens in USA (based on our form of government – Constitutional Republic)? Understand issues that face the nation, vote responsibly, walk in integrity, remove bad leaders from office, put good leaders in.

Protecting Freedom

What can you do to protect freedom in our beloved nation?

  • Vote responsibly. Don’t just look at who candidates pretend to be but how they vote.
  • Pray for our nation.
  • Recognize threats to our freedom.

Show Notes

Do you want to get out of survival mode? Stop feeling overwhelmed? A bubble bath won’t cut it. You need the promises of God!

Exhausted?

Away all night with sick children or nursing baby. Juggling so many different hats that you can’t keep them straight? Weary from your children squabbling all day?

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary. And to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. (Isaiah 40: 27-31 NASB)

Confused?

Wondering what curriculum to use? Or how to help your children get along? Want ideas on how to keep the flame from dying out in your marriage? What vaccines to give your children?

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 NASB)

Is Life Hard?

We all go through trials and hard times, but sometimes life hits us curve balls that leave us devastated, unable to go on.

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33 NASB)

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Or is blameless (Psalm 84:11 NASB)

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28 NASB)

Worried about the Future?

Wondering how you’ll pay the bills this month? Or worried how your son will thrive with Autism? Hoping your teens won’t do the bad things their friends do? Or just worried about the education you are giving your children?

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NASB)

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 NASB)

Feeling Guilty?

Have you yelled at your kids and feel awful about it? Do you struggle stay focused and fell guilty later when things are undone? Maybe you still feel ashamed of the abortion you had as a teenager. Guilt and shame come in all sizes but God’s promises cover all sin.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I John 1:9 NASB)

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103: 12 NASB)

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. (Romans 8:1-2 NASB)

Believing & Declaring God’s Promises
