The goal of this class is to encourage curiosity about “Why things were invented and how to create your own inventions”. This class is a combination of FUN, History and Engineering.

What students should expect:  This class is a “hands-on” class, so we will study an invention and then make a project that will help us understand the invention and the inventor.

Homework and tests: This class does not have mandatory homework.  Every week, I post worksheets with hyperlinked videos we watched in class.  I encourage all students and parents to review the videos each week and discuss the inventions.  The more you talk the more you remember. This is a history and engineering class that encourages critical thinking.  If you miss a class you need to watch the videos and see me about supplies for making the projects at home.

POINTS – You will earn points from attendance, participation, and attitude.

Supplies – No books necessary. I use videos instead of books to help the students see the inventions and inventors.  I will print worksheets when needed.  We will need recycled items throughout the year.

Examples of some of the inventions covered in this class:

Inventions from Medieval Times (500 AD to 1400 AD)

 Toothbrush

 Flushable Toilets

 Astrolabes

 Magnetic Compass

 Hourglass

 Mechanical Clock

 Windmill

 Buttons

 Heavy Plow

Inventions from the Renaissance (1400 AD to 1700 AD)

 Ice Cream

 Telescope

 Microscope

 Flushable Toilets

 Submarines

 Renaissance Art

 Renaissance Engineering

Famous Inventors:

 Johannes Gutenberg (1400 - 1468)

The goal of this class is to encourage children to love science through experiments ranging from catapults, magnets, electricity, waterfalls, and oceans, to outer space.  Edible Engineering will also be included each month and that will include making towers with marshmallows, melting candy, and experimenting with the density of different foods and drinks.

What the students should expect:  The students will have a short introduction to a physics experiment or activity each week and then watch a short video about the experiment.  After discussing the experiment and what they think will happen the class will participate in activities, experiments, or building.

Homework: Parents should review the videos with the students and talk about the experiments.

Grades: Attendance is very important for this class, so grades will be given for attendance.  This class is categorized as an “educational class”, so I also give cumulative tests, midterms, and finals.  I will be reading the questions out loud to this age group. The tests are made to be FUN with lots of praise and excitement for correct answers.  Grades are not important for this age group; the priority is being able to learn to like or even to love test day and treat it like a game day.

I will be using videos instead of books.  I will print worksheets and mini lab reports.  Weekly videos and homework will be posted in Schoology.  I encourage everyone to watch the videos more than once to increase long-term memory.
