Fourth-grade inventors are knee-deep in Invention Convention preparations. A recent student-parent workday brought inventions several steps closer to finalization. Here is a sneak peek of the work that is going into these inventions. They will be on display at the Invention Convention on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013.

Butterfly wings are made of two membranes that are nourished and supported by tubular veins. The veins also function in oxygen exchange. Covering the wings are thousands of colorful scales, together with many hairs (setae).
The name Lepidoptera means "scale wing" in Greek. These wing scales are tiny overlapping pieces of chitin on a butterfly or moth wing. The scales are outgrowths of the body wall and are modified, plate-like setae.
The front and back of the wings usually have different patterns and can be brilliantly colored, while others are drab. There are often ultraviolet patterns in the wings that we cannot see, but which may be seen by other butterflies. Even many of the colorful species have drab-colored outer wings (that are visible when the animal is at rest). The coloration of these insects serves many purposes, including camouflage, warning, attracting and finding mates, deceiving predators and soaking up heat.
Scent scales are modified wing scales on the forewing of male butterflies and moths that release pheromones. These chemicals attract females of the same species. Scent scales are also called androconia.

The theme for this issue was fashion history between 1900-1900. To illustrate the history, we added close up images of items that were invented at that time as a backdrop to the fashion clothes.

One of the greatest inventions was the electric light. It opened up a whole new world for people in the late 1800's, so it's been around a very long time. We attribute the "practical" light bulb to Thomas Edison.

Have A Wonderful Wednesday and Turn On The Light!

Fourth-grade students displayed their engineering skills during the annual Westminster Invention Convention held on Feb. 21 in the Lower School gym. The event was part of National Engineer’s Week.
Westminster has hosted the Invention Convention for more than 16 years, with fourth-grade teacher Kathy Buurma having organized each event. After learning about famous inventors, the students are tasked with determining a problem for which they would like to find a solution. The students work on the invention in class, and parents are invited to attend class to assist with construction. Four adults outside of the student’s immediate family test each invention before it is submitted for judging. The judges consider the reviews of the testers and the marketing of the invention in addition to the invention itself. Inventions this year include an extreme laptop case, a cat bed and breakfast and a lighted sweater for dogs.
For Our Daily Challenge - Inventions. I know that we should only enter one image a day but I could not resist. Qwerty was discussed today on CBC's Spark just as I had finished uploading the lightbulb. Read more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QWERTY
