Funded Dec 11, 2018My students and I have what we call an "Invention Convention" this a session where they break into groups and use the manipulative's to design a gadget. They then present the results to the class like they would at a science fair. My students have built towers, cars and numerous creative gadgets such as a launcher using Lego blocks and a golf ball.
When they saw the boxes, my students were ecstatic! They ululated in excitement! They still do when I pull a different set out every week.
I am assisting my students to develop their social skills and use science vocabulary to explain their projects.
Thank you so much for sponsoring our project! It has made a huge difference in our class. We are excited and look forward to many more "Invention Conventions" in our classroom!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Angie
