We began our new Unit of Inquiry this week, Inventions. The central idea is that Humans use ingenuity to meet needs and solve problems through invention and innovation

We started the unit by sorting inventions into three categories and then justifying why they were in these categories.

   

     

As part of reading we learned about Thomas Edison, taking notes and presenting our information in a small poster. These skills will help us with further research for our summative assessment.

   

       

We also have a homework assignment to create a one minute timer. These are not due til next Tuesday but some children have finished their inventions already.

   

 

Fun with our buddy class in the hospital….
