Phase 3. Activities

Class Invention Project - Involve your students with creative thinking skills. Ask the students to interview other students, teachers, school staff and parents. After this data has been collected and analyzed, the students can begin developing their inventions with a focus on how their inventions might improve the quality of life. Here are some sample questions you might want for your survey:

1. If you were an inventor, what would you invent to make life easier?
2. What are some problems you would like to solve?
3. What is something you dislike doing?
4. What are some of the problems you encounter at school?
