Description

What is included in this Scientists and Inventors Research Project?

This scientists and inventors research project is perfect for students who are learning how to use informational text and studying historical figures. Students will discover scientists and their discoveries as well as inventors and their inventions in this unit using informational text.

Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index.

Then, students will be assigned a scientist or inventor to research, optionally, a partner or group to work with. Students will have an Innovators Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research scientists and inventors, and their assigned person. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!

Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a report/presentation and a model of their person’s innovation (invention, scientific discovery, etc).  Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the Innovation Fair to see the models and what they’ve learned about their innovators.

    Excellent research focused unit. This unit has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. Having these in Google Slides format is perfect so my students can research and create on their computer both in school and at home without losing their work.

    This has been a fantastic product I have used with my 5th graders. We do a Wax Museum project every year and this works wonders as a pre-cursor activity for them to understand what to look for and how to put it together.
