Inspiring Inventors
Driving Question: How do inventions help solve real-world problems?
Project Summary: Students will research one inventor with a partner using teacher-approved websites and resource books to help. They will then create a multimedia product in order to share information with the class. Students will create a multimedia presentation (Power Point, Photo Story, Puppet Pals, etc.) to share information. The work will be presented to other third grade students as building background for the 3rd grade Invention Convention Unit.
