Teachers, save “Inventors and problems they were trying…” to assign it to your class.

Good Morning, This week we have been looking at why we invent and what inventors need to be successful. Today we are going to be looking at some different inventions and inquiring into what problem or problems they were trying to solve. Inventors usually think of a problem they would like to fix or an invention they would like to improve on when coming up with a new invention. 1) Click 2) On the first slide, click on the to see what Dutch inventor Boyan Slat invented- What problem was he trying to solve? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcnklzBQBbE 3) For the next three slides, use the or tool to write about what problem or problems you think the invention was trying to solve. You can use your own knowledge, questioning a family member about what they know about the invention or using the internet to do some research. 4) Challenge: Pick your own invention and think about what problem it is/was trying to solve! Enjoy :)
