Invention Convention, 2012
Fox Hill fourth graders showcased their creative and scientific skills today as they
presented hand made inventions using at least two simple machines.
As you can see, the results were impressive!!!

A handy laundry grabber so you don't have to bend!
Tired of lugging in that heavy instrument? Many 4th graders would LOVE this instrument caddy!
Go Green! This invention runs on wind power!
You may have this for a full size hockey net, but how about one for knee hockey?!
Ah, just the thing- a back scatcher on your favorite chair!

Students also pretended to be immigrants from several different countries. They had the opportunity to "unpack" many different things that were typically brought from one's homeland to the U.S.A.
At the Lowell Mills, Kids dressed up and acted out a public hearing where it was debated whether or not the community wanted a separate school for Irish Immigrants. Each student had a role.
A close up view of one of the machines. Keep your hair back girls!
If only you could hear how LOUD this was!
Arya points to a map of the mill. The kids were especially interested in the "toilet tower". Ask them about it, but not over dinner!
