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.

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)Slide6
