Answer 2

Have Him make a mobile of the three branches of government

Answer 3

Have him make the solar system or it depends on what your teaching him

Answer 4

How about a windpower experiment.

There are many places on the web that show how to create basic generators that could be windpowered.

He could then write a project/paper based on current wind technology and projects and how we could replace the vast majority of American electrical output via wind production.

I can email add'l resources if you wish.
