Scientists and Engineers Are INSPIRED (Grades 3–5)

by: Donna Farland-Smith and Julie Thomas

In this lesson, students learn that scientists and engineers are inspired. They read about inventor Thomas Edison in the book Young Thomas Edison. After reading, they ask Thomas Edison’s three questions at four learning stations that are focused on different forms of energy (light, sound, heat, and electrical). This selection highlights the practice of asking questions and defining problems, and it includes the Table of Contents, Foreword, Acknowledgments, About the Authors, and Index.
