All About Inventions
We are studying inventions in IPC this unit. Students are looking at what defines an invention (vs a discovery), learn different types of inventions and the history behind them, as well as learn about patents, trademarks and copyrights related to them. Here, students used a pyramid graphic organizer to illicit information from an article "All About Inventions". They then shared their answers in groups, and had to sign off on each other's work. There were a lot of great conversations happening as well as reasoning to answers given.
