Big6 Research Model |
|
Task - Select an invention that you think has been a necessary invention. For ideas on inventions, go to Kidsinfobit, and click on "Inventions & Technology" or browse the Timeline of Science and Technology and the Science and Invention Encyclopedia reference series. Once you have selected an invention or technological innovation, create a presentation that gives the history of your selected invention. In your presentation, you must conclude with your thought on what the world would be like without this invention. Do not forget to include the following information: - Who created the invention?
- When and where was this invention created?
- Why was this invention created?
- What does this invention do?
You may use a graphic organizer to plan your thoughts before you start your research.
