How inventions changed our lives

 The Grade 1s understand that everything around us is a product of a bright idea by a curious and inquisitive person who wanted to make a difference in the world. We had the chance to know the famous inventor of ballpoint pen (aka ballpen), found out the reasons why the inventor thought of making it, explored the process of how it was invented and reflected on the good effects of this invention to our lives at present. We also got to know the inventor of airplane, The Wright Brothers, and looked into how this invention has improved our lives.

Afterwards, the students chose inventions that they would like to explore. They researched for the following information: inventor, date and place of invention, reasons for invention and impact of it to our lives at present.

They also made a simple model of it. They prepared a poster where information about their chosen invention are written. This is still a work in progress. Grade 1s will exhibit their work to the school community next week.

Here is a glimpse of their invention models.
