The PAT classes are going on in
full swing! We sixth graders in PAT are enjoying the tricky puzzles and
imaginative games. Today, we had SCAMPER activity which stands for: 
Substitute
Combine
Adapt
Modify, Magnify
or Miniaturize
Put to other
uses
Eliminate
Reverse or
Rearrange
We were asked to make
inventions using these criteria. Our imaginations were running wild, and we
made lots of inventions. I chose combine and made a chalk-marker-duster in one
device. At the press of a button, we could use it to write on black boards,
white boards and also as a duster. So the teacher could carry one of these.
I also came up with a special notepad with a
lens attached to it, which could take a picture of the board in class and
transfer that into notes in the book. This would save us from copying notes.
The third invention that I came
up with was a bracelet with beads which display messages on them. With a button
to control the on-off mode, we can communicate with it or can read our mind to
display images.
