Our Fifth Grade students have just held their Invention
Convention, a culminating experience for a library research
unit. In addition to learning about famous inventors and the
invention process using books and online resources, each student
had the opportunity to design an invention. Working individually
or with partners, the students developed original ideas for new
products, some of which help to solve everyday problems. This
creative group of students worked enthusiastically,
brainstorming for ideas, developing models and prototypes, and
creating ads to market their inventions. Some groups even wrote
“commercials” to go along with their inventions. The students
presented their inventions to an appreciative audience at
school, and all were impressed with the level of creative
enthusiasm. The video below highlights the students talking
about their inventions and features some of their commercials.
