    Kia ora.  I hope you have all taken the time to work on your visual glossaries of inventions and innovations and to watch last weeks video and complete the work on google classroom.  This week, we are going to continue our research on innovations and inventions.  We are going to look at a piece of technology and see if we think it is an invention or an innovation.

    Thank you for completing the word banks for invention (14 students) here is the word cloud these words created;
