Inventor Presentations
One of the highlights of 3rd grade is the Inventors Project. After researching a chosen inventor, students become that person, going so far as to create replicas of their famous inventions. Students present to parents in character, portraying people such as Thomas Edison, Eli Whitney, and Marie Curie. This curriculum builds design engineering, public speaking, research, and writing skills.
