Over at InventNow.org, funded by the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation and the US Patent and Trademark Office, there are some great resources to be used with Primary and Middle Years students (Yr 5-7). Students can sign up and use the web site to design and share their inventions with other junior inventors.
For those of you who would prefer to teach this in the classroom rather than in the computer suite, there’s also a handy Inventor’s Toolkit that can be printed and photocopied and used by your students in the classroom.
Go check it out and share your thoughts in the comments.
