Planning your invention presentation • What is the invention? • Who created it? • When was it created? • What was your invention intended to do? Consider a variety of reasons. • Example: washing machine - a time saving device • As each group presents back to the class, think of a question you might ask them to do with the intentions of their invention. • Also, consider what the inadvertent outcomes (negative consequences of the invention might be)
Inadvertent outcome (something bad comes from a creative invention) • Example invention – Washing machine • Intended effect – to save people time • Inadvertent outcome – if you accidently choose the wrong setting it can be difficult to stop the machine & it may shrink your clothes.
