Dear Families,
The 4th graders will be participating in an Invention Convention! They will embark in a Science Challenge! During the next few weeks they will have the opportunity to design and build their own original invention. This process will help them learn the design process, which is an important part of the Massachusetts State Frameworks in Science and Technology.
Student Objectives:
-Students will solve an everyday problem or make a task easier to accomplish.
-Students will need to use at least two simple machines in their invention.
-Students may use any variety of materials to make their own invention.
-Students must follow the important Design Process (provided in a packet to the student in -school) to complete the invention process.
-We ask that you please provide guidance and support with their inventions. However, the student should try to produce as much of the invention on their own as possible.
-Be sure to have fun and be creative!
At the end of the process, Pine Glen will hold an Invention Convention for the students to demonstrate their inventions. All students, teachers and families will be invited to attend. The date for the 4th grade invention convention will be
