Thanks to @NPSEducation Ranger Shemaine for hosting my students Thomas Edison NHP earlier this week. We enjoyed getting to experience firsthand where Edison and his employees researched and developed many of the things we use each day.

My students especially enjoyed the hands-on document based activity: “Who’s the Victor?” They researched Edison and Victrola phonographs, played them and had a debate over which product was better! Thomas Edison NHP
