Your organizer will have two parts: Part One: Step by step instructions for students to create and complete your graphic organizer. Think of it like procedures for a lab in Science class ex: Step One= collect a piece of paper Step Two= write your name on the paper Part Two: You will need to have a completed example of the graphic organizer that follows all of your steps Requirements: all five resources are evident, organized and easy to understand Level 4: step by step instruction are clear and easy to understand, organizer has all 5 resources, definitions for resources evident, examples for resources evident, all information easy to see and can be understood by the average Sophomore

9 Entrepreneur Notes An entrepreneur is a person who takes a risk to create a new product or develops a better way to operate a business. Risks are one of the main incentives when trying to "make it big" in the business world. Entrepreneurs are unique individuals who are creative, opportunity seekers, and people who are willing to take a risk when the possibility of great profit is at hand.

14 Problem: need rubber for boots during WWII
During World War II, the United States needed rubber for truck tires and soldiers’ boots, but the war made it hard to get a supply of rubber from other countries. So American scientists were asked to invent a product that could be used like rubber. James Wright, a scientist with General Electric, invented a putty that could be stretched into a long string and, when rolled into a ball, could bounce. The bouncing putty was fun, but it was not a good substitute for rubber. In fact, no one could find a use for it.

15 Entrepreneurial Opportunity
Ruth Fallgatter, a toy store owner in New Haven, CT, and Peter Hodgson, a marketing consultant, found out about the putty. They put pieces of the putty in little cases and sold them in the toy store catalog. Ms. Fallgatter lost interest in the putty, but Peter Hodgson decided to put small pieces into plastic eggs and called it _____________ ______________ .

16 The Story of Silly Putty (adapted from The Silly Putty Story at www
The Story of Silly Putty (adapted from The Silly Putty Story at He took it to toy fairs and demonstrated all of the things that could be done with Silly Putty. It could be bounced like a ball. Children could make animal shapes with it. It would pick up the ink from newspaper pictures. Mr. Hodgson thought that Silly Putty would be profitable. Mr. Hodgson sold Silly Putty all over the world. He became very wealthy. When he died in 1976, he had an estate worth $140 million.

17 My Problem, My Solution In partners, you will be given a scenario. You will have to invent something that will solve the problem in the scenario. You will create a sample invention form for your invention that will also include a minimum of two diagrams of your invention. You will also have to show your sample invention form at the end of class. DO NOT LET OTHER GROUPS SEE YOUR PAPERS, YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO STEAL YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
