Ellen McHenry's Basement Workshop

Ellen McHenry's Basement Workshop

Welcome to my world of EDUCATIONAL INVENTIONS!

I've been building and inventing educational things for the past 20 years, including educational games, projects, songs, activities, skits, plays, textbooks, hands-on science exhibits, and published books. This site really is like putting my basement online. All these things used to be sitting on my shelves collecting dust. One by one, I am working my way through the stacks of things I've invented over the years, digitalizing them and posting them for anyone who might find them useful. Use the buttons on the left to learn more about me and the educational things I create. Happy browsing!

NEW (as of 5/20/10): A mini-unit called Punctuation "Theater." Designed for use with groups. (A kinetic or audio learner's dream come true!!) Click on Free Downloads, then click on Language Arts.

If you'd like to see my "Fly Swatting Machine" work (shown at left) click on these orange letters!

A fairy tale about the Periodic Table? Why not?!

(Periodic Kingdom from "The Elements" curriculum)
