Learn about famous female scientist inventors and their inventions with this free printable reader to color and learn with kids of all ages.
Well, I'm a little behind in my posting of units, but I'm just about caught up! After our Halloween unit, we jumped right into inventors and inventions! We first talked about what inventions are and made a T-chart of inventors we already knew and some we learned about using an inventor puzzle game. We dug deeper into Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell's lives by reading books about them and watching United Streaming videos about their discoveries. My wonderful teammate Sam made a Venn diagram with facts about each inventor. We also talked about Benjamin Franklin and his many inventions by reading this wonderful book! I learned a lot from it too! Finally, I had the kids draw their favorite inventions we had learned about that week. The second week of the unit focused more on them as inventors. We talked about how inventors invent things in order to solve a problem or make life easier or better. We used several activities from One Extra Degree's Inventor Unit. We talked about patents and why they are important. I posed several problems from the unit and asked the kids to draw in their science journals inventions that would solve that problem. Our final project was creating their own invention. The kids brought in items from home to create something with and on Friday I just let them loose! It was hilarious to watch them work and talk to each other. We had some very interesting creations when time was up. I had them fill out a sheet from the unit where they drew and labeled their invention with the materials they used. I then displayed them on my reading table (first time all year its been cleared off! hah!) for a little project show. The kids got to walk around the table and look at each other's creations. Here are a couple examples up close! Toy UFO Cloud Sucker : for when you want a sunny day with no clouds Chin rest: you can rest your chin in the cup when you get tired of holding your head up And my all-time favorite: The Laugh-n-shine! Whenever your friend is sad, just swing this in front of them and the smiley face will cheer them right up! Hope you enjoyed my kiddos fun inventions! The next units I will post about will be immigration/cultures and of course, Thanksgiving! Check out my previous post to see examples of my kids' work from my own Thanksgiving unit!
A Biography Research Project with a STEM Focus Biographical research projects might feel overwhelming to kids, especially if it's the first time they have tried this type of activity. I created this activity as a first exposure to studying a famous person. It is all contained on one sheet of paper, so that is something that does not overwhelm kids. There are also a couple of different formats to choose from: a folding brochure format or a poster format. Why scientists and inventors? Obviously I am passionate about STEM fields, but in finding out more about these important contributors, kids may become inspired to pursue a similar career or at least take more of an interest in it. Sports figures, performer s such as singers and actors, and other professions inspire kids from an early age. Why not scientists and inventors? Without them, we wouldn't have high-tech sports gear, a way to watch sports events, or the technology to record and play back music and movies! Here's how it works! First, choose the scientist or inventor to study. I have provided a list in the resource I created, or you can find a great list for kids on ducksters.com. Now it's time to do the research. I love utilizing the library to find general information books about various scientists and inventors, but you should also be able to find individual books about many of these inspirational figures. Find the basics, such as when they lived, where they lived, and some other background information about them. Then go a little deeper and find out what important invention they dreamed up or scientific contribution they made. Maybe their discoveries or ideas weren't considered viable or important in their time. Maybe they died penniless and unknown. Some had fame and fortune, as well as respect. Others may have been dismissed for being too revolutionary or for being a woman or a person of color. The next part of the project is so much fun, because it is time to present the findings with others and do a fun scavenger hunt! Display the research projects around your room, so that students can read about the scientists and inventors and fill out the scavenger hunt page. If you don't have the resource below (you can find it here) you can create a simple scavenger hunt to hang up, with questions such as: Can you find a scientist who lived before you were born? Can you find an inventor who invented something you have used? Can you find a scientist who is from a country other than the one you live in? Find the resource on Teachers pay Teachers: Or pin this idea for later:

Science, technology, engineering, art, and math work together to make learning fun in these STEAM lessons! Perfect for Makerspace! This fifth grade teacher resource book includes: *A year's worth of teacher lesson plans *STEAM design challenges that turn elementary students into inventors *Easy-to-follow lesson format (with standards identified for each lesson) *Classroom-tested lessons The STEAM Design Challenges in this book follow engineering practices to teach students in Grade 5 to solve a problem by designing, creating, and justifying their designs. They also allow art to support and enhance the learning of science and math while the engineering process is followed. These engaging STEAM lessons: *Integrate the Next Generation Science Standards and national standards from other disciplines *Enhance learning across various disciplines *Facilitate students in collaborating to solve real-world scenarios *Promote critical thinking, analytical thinking, and reflective thinking *Incorporate the Five Es Instructional Model (engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate) *Are classroom tested *Engineering Design Process The lessons in this book are intended to support the engineering design process in which teachers become a facilitator by encouraging and guiding students to work as a team to find a creative solution to a real-world problem without providing step-by-step instructions. Students are inspired to act as scientists and engineers through the use of sketches, diagrams, mathematical relationships, and literacy connections. By creating their very own models and products based on background information from their studies, students are immediately engaged through a meaningful, rewarding lesson. More about the lessons Each lesson begins by presenting students with a design challenge scenario in order to immediately excite students with a real-world situation that they are on a mission to solve. Students are then given a dilemma, mission, and blueprint design sheet and are asked to collaborate with team members to create several prototypes. Students present their prototypes to their teacher, construct their design, test their design, engage in a class discussion about their design, and then modify their design. Finally, teams create a justification piece in order to sell their new prototype (ex. persuasive letter, video, advertisement etc.). About the Authors The Steam Dreamers, a group of four classroom teachers, desired to create more interactive learning environments and science classrooms through student-centered problem-solving lessons. They created this collection of cross-curricular design challenge lessons to provide teachers and students with real-world scenarios that are driven by core learning standards and enriched through the inclusion of literacy and the arts.
