Project Title: Inventions Made from Recycled Materials
Inventions made from Recycled Materials
By:
After learning about inventors such as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Garrett Morgan, and George Washington Carver, the 101 first grade students were asked to create their own invention. The students drew pictures of their model on scrap paper and wrote about the functions and purpose of their invention. They then created a model of their invention using recycled materials (for example, toilet paper and paper towel rolls, old coffee sleeves, scrap paper, bottle caps, cut up plastic).The purpose is to allow students to use their creativity while also learning that you can turn trash into treasure and reuse recycled materials.The students created the projects in partners which also involved collaboration.
