It was the annual Talking Wax Museum. Sixth- grade students picked an inventor or invention and had five weeks to research and put a presentation together. Students have to use a variety of skills, from creativity, to research, to public speaking.
Former teacher Lisa Maxwell started the museum a decade ago. Since she retired last year, Ms. Alicia Beadel took over. She and Mr. Tyler Allison's students put on a great museum this year!
In the past, the museum would feature inventions/inventors from a certain decade, this year students could choose from any decade.
The inventions were also spread out and organized by inventions this year. One section featured food and athletics, while the other sections were technology/machinery and art.
During the Wax Museum students dressed up like their inventor or invention and stood still until students from the other grade levels pushed a button to make them come to life. Students then gave a one-minute oral presentation.
Oreo, Barbie, Soccer, the microphone, and the guitar are just a few examples of the inventions at the Wax Museum. Students worked extremely hard putting the presentations together.
