3rd and 4th grade learned and tried PAIRED PROGRAMMING with Code.org two weeks ago! Plus they have been reading about Chester Greenwood. I bet that you are wondering who Chester Greenwood is! He is credited as the creator of earmuffs. You can learn all about his improvements in the book "Earmuffs for Everyone" by Meghan McCarthy. There is now even a Chester Greenwood day in Maine (the first Saturday in December). Chester Greenwood Day article
Here is a link to Meghan McCarthy's website - Meghan McCarthy
As we were reading students started asking questions about PATENTS! After some web searching, I found the US Patent website for students. US PTO
The students loved the "collector cards" as well as the "Spot the Invention" activity.
In addition, the students learned about patents used at the X Games!
