LIGHTHOUSE RESOURCE FOR GRADES K -4 THE SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES RELATE TO VARIOUS DISCIPLINES - ART, SCIENCE, LANGUAGE ARTS, MATH, HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY. GOALS 1. To familiarize children with lighthouses as aids to navigation. 2. To have students gain a basic understanding of lighthouse operation and the evolution of lighthouse technology. 3. To make children aware of the historic role of lighthouses and their current status. 4. To teach children the properties of light and how these are employed to enhance the effectiveness of the light signal. The Story of the Lighthouse Many, many years ago (thousands of years to be more exact), people lived m a very primitive wayboth hunting for and growing their own food (there were no supermarkets in those days, no stores at all!). Eventually they decided to explore the water in a boat to find out what the sea had to offer in the way of food. And, what did they find? They found fish and all kinds of other seafood: clams, mussels, scallops, oysters, lobsters, crabs, etc. During the day they could find their way back to the landing place by looking for a pile of rocks that had been left there.
Legendary Lighthouses II Episode 4 The Legendary lighthouses of the gulf of Mexico The us gulf coast stretchesfor a thousand miles along five states Florida, Alabama, Mississippi http://www.pbs.org/legendarylighthouses/html/ll200.html
Extractions: LEGENDARY LIGHTHOUSES II completes the dramatic story of America's lighthouses. The four programs explore some extraordinary destinations in the United States: the rugged and dangerous coast of Alaska, the beaches and shorelines of Hawaii, the vast and beautiful eastern Great Lakes and the "hurricane alley" of the Gulf of Mexico. The series is populated by individuals who act as storytellers, people with a special connection to the lighthouse or the place where it sits. Episode 1 Less than 7,000 miles of land lost in 70 million square miles of ocean, the remote Hawaiian chain of islands has always been a challenge for navigators. This episode highlights Kilauea Point Lighthouse, located on the Kilauea Point Wildlife Refuge on Kauai Island; Makapuu Point Lighthouse (above), the biggest and most powerful of the lighthouses in Hawaii, located on the eastern end of Oahu, Hawaiis most populous island; and the Diamond Head Lighthouse, located near the foot of the extinct Diamond Head volcano. The beautiful and historic keeper's dwelling is now the official residence of the Coast Guard's 14th District Commander, Admiral Joseph McClelland. Episode 2 This episode takes viewers to some of the most remarkable, beautiful and rugged places in Americas "Last Frontier." Strewn with rocks (some still uncharted), mined with icebergs, often blanketed with fog and torn by ferocious storms, the seas around Alaska are some of the most treacherous on the planet. Yet, along Alaskas 33,000 miles of coastline, only a handful of lighthouses were built to mark the way for ocean-going vessels, pleasure boaters and a fleet of commercial fishermen. Most lighthouses in Alaska were built at the turn of the last century, when gold was discovered, and none are accessible by road. All are reachable only by boat, plane or helicopter.

This episode features the Biloxi Lighthouse which now stands in the middle of four lanes of traffic in Biloxi, Mississippi and the privately owned Aransas Pass Light Station in Texas. At one time, Texas had more than 50 lighthouses to mark its long and dangerous shoreline. Today, only a few remain in reasonably good shape, and most are in private hands. SECURE ORDER FORM E-MAIL US

Extractions: Government Information on Lighthouses Responsibility for and eminence of lighthouses has been the responsibility of the federal government since 1789. The federal government at that time took the responsibility of colonial lighthouses from the states and Congress made appropriations for necessary funds. This began the U.S. Lighthouse Service. The administration for this Service switched hands between the Treasury Department and the Commerce Department many times before being consolidated by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939. He combined the Lighthouse Service with the Coast Guard where it has remained. Coast Guard employees rarely man the lighthouses at this time, but it is still an important part of the service's heritage and history. This is a guide to the information the government holds on lighthouses as well as to the sites they sponsor for lighthouses on the East coast. Sources for Information National Park Service Within the National Park History Program, lighthouse information is abundant in the National Maritime Initiative. It was established to preserve America's maritime heritage. This site has 6 main directories for lighthouse information. Maritime Resources Here you can find lighthouses and light ships within the National Park System listed by state. Each lighthouse or ship is clickable to take you directly to that site.
