Fantastic Failures in Science 2: Even MORE Accidental Inventions!

Note:

I have recently accepted a full-time position and now teach very few classes on Outschool. At this time, I am unable to accommodate class requests. Thank you!

If you couldn't get enough fantastic failures from my first class, then this follow-up class is for you! In this next installment, students will learn about ten MORE accidental inventions, including Velcro, Play-Doh, bubble wrap, and chocolate chip cookies. 

Learning about these inventions and the people who invented them is not only interesting, but also a good starting point in developing a growth mindset, as it helps students to see that mistakes and failures can lead to positive outcomes. 

I will use a self-made PowerPoint featuring visuals such as pictures and short video clips to present this information. Students will also be provided an optional handout to help them follow along with the content. I will encourage participation with discussion questions and check for understanding and foster engagement with some mini-quizzes built into the presentation. 

I am known for my energetic and passionate teaching style, and I accommodate ALL learners in my classroom. It is my hope that after taking this class students will see mistakes and failure in a different light. 

Notes: Students are NOT required to take the first Fantastic Failures class to understand this class. They can be taken in any order!
