Thematic Thursday - Inventors and Inventions (and a GIVEAWAY!)

Are you looking to pump up your science curriculum? An inventors and inventions unit will inspire and motivate even your reluctant learners. I have everything you need for organizing and beginning your unit! From kindergarten on up, these ideas will energize science education in your classroom!

Kids are naturally curious.

They love to explore and tinker.

Learning about Inventors and Inventions is a great way to foster that curiosity in your students. Having them learn about how others diligently worked and sometimes just stumbled upon ideas to solve problems, can help to encourage them to ignite their own curiosity.

I think Kid President sums it up pretty well!

This week, Thematic Thursday

is all about Inventors and Inventions.

Stick with me 'til the end. It will be worth it!

Teaching about Inventors and Inventions is a great way to integrate all subjects and pull in resources to teach Science and Social Studies into you ELA and Math blocks.
