Ideas and Inventions

Grades 3 - 4

The Ideas and Inventions module consists of four sequential investigations that promote student creativity and inventiveness. Each investigation provides valuable science content while introducing a conventional technique for revealing the unseen.

FOSS expects students to:

Use techniques to see details about the world that would otherwise be difficult to observe.
Explore the techniques of chromatography, rubbing, carbon printing, and mirror imagery.
Solve problems using the techniques of chromatography and carbon printing.
Record and compare patterns observed in leaf veins, fingerprints, and ink pigments.
Gain experience with texture and pattern in a variety of materials.
Express individual and group creativity through open-ended discoveries and inventions.
Invent applications to extend the use of specific techniques.
Acquire the vocabulary associated with texture and patterns of materials and exercise language in the context of science.
Use scientific thinking processes to conduct investigations and build explanations: observing, communicating, comparing, and organizing.
