Activities

1. Research other inventions by African Americans.

2. Find the dates of these inventions and make a timeline of them.

3. Discuss how life would be very different without these inventions.

4. Discuss the process of inventing something and have your students come up with their own inventions. They should give their inventions a name and write a description.

5. Classify these inventions into such categories as Things Around the House and Things for Safety.

6. Alphabetize the inventors' names.

7. Have some children cut out pictures of the inventions and paste them on the left side of index cards. Have other children use sticky labels to write or type the invention and paste them on the right side of the index cards to match the pictures. Make puzzles by cutting down the center of these cards using different patterns. You can also use craft scissors which come in a variety of patterns.

8. Create a criss-cross puzzle or a word-find puzzle with these inventors' last names.

I hope these ideas are useful and have inspired your own creative thinking!
