Cleaning in the olden days was always done by hand (beat dust out of carpets outside, mop the floor by hand, etc). The difference today is that there are many inventions that make performing these tasks easier such as a vacuum cleaner, steam mop and so on.
The children's task was to develop an innovation that will help them perform a job in an easier and faster manner. The work that the children in the wind group find themselves doing the most is organizing and tidying up toys.
"An organizer" Trystan said. "A machine that will tidy toys up", Sofia added, "and that vacuums at the same time", Maddi suggested.
We started this project by sketching a prototype of what the machine might look like. Every child added an element to it.
In the end, we presented the machine to the other children. The super duper machine is displayed on the shelf, by the science materials.
Enjoy,
Anamaria
Love this invention! Something that organizes toys while vacuuming at the same time would be well used around our house :)
