It may look like a science fair, but the Invention Convention at Crosby Middle School is much more. The event at this Louisville, Kentucky, school is the climax of a three-month unit that takes sixth graders through the process of creating an invention while showing them the real-world aspects of science, math, reading, and writing. Science teacher Brian Dunkley describes the process in this NSTA Reports story.
