In science class students have been participating in critical thinking and problem solving activities as we begin the invention convention process. They have each been given a schedule of due dates for each part of their project. Look for the schedule behind their "Invention Convention" tab in their binder. The due dates are as follows:
October 15 - Invention Proposal Form (This will require a parent signature.)
November 11 - Invention Final Report
November 16 - Display Board
November 18 - Eleanor Kolitz Academy Invention Convention & Science Fair
Although we will spend a little time talking about past inventors and inventions during this unit, our primary focus in those discussions will be on identifying what problem the invention solved or what benefit the new object or design provided.
Class time will be spent reviewing the requirements for each part of the project prior to the due dates. It will be exciting to see what problems our inventors will solve!
