Technology Rocks!

I had so much fun teaching a unit on Technology in Science.  We discussed all different kids of technology, and at the end of the unit the students created their own piece of technology.  They had to solve a real world problem with their technology, but their solution could be a little far-fetched.  They came up with some GREAT inventions!  After designing their invention, the students had to present their inventions to the "patent office" (their classmates).

Electric Fence-


The Uncrashable Car-

The patent office voted on their favorites and here are the winners:
