The first unit the 4th grade team has been working on is inventions. The central idea is: Inventions are created to solve a problem and fill a need. The students will be writing in their “Inventor’s Logs” during school and also for homework. In their Inventor’s Logs this week, they need to focus on one or two problems and start brainstorming solutions for those problems. They should be practical, not “a robot to do my homework.” They need to have a “witness” sign the log every time they write in them.
