• Highlight the 5 you feel are most important to you

 

Which invention would you least like to live without?	Shoes
Why would you not like to live without it?	They’re comfortable and if you go on a walk it protects your feet from stones. There are different types of shoes to suit your needs:  Sneakers - walking Jandals - beach/walking around pools Fancy shoes - important events Slippers - for when its cold

 

 

Which invention do you think was the weirdest?	Chromebook
Why is this invention weird?	Because it can hold alot of information and technology can remember and have more information than humans do.

 

 

 

 

Below are 5 pictures of weird or wacky inventions that weren’t a success. Fill in the table to show why these useless inventions aren’t fit for purpose.

The first one has been done for you.

Weird Invention	What is the purpose of the invention?	Why is the invention NOT fit for purpose?
Baby mop suit	For the baby to clean the floor while it crawls around.	Because the baby will only crawl on some areas of the floor and the baby shouldn’t be on the floor if the floor is dirty.
French stick backpack	To hold french bread sticks when walking or just having too many things to carry	Because it looks stupid and may poke the back of your head which will get annoying
Finger fork	To bring out of a bag anywhere. With this invention you are supposed to put your finger in it and use it to eat with.	It may be hard to clean and is too small for some foods. This invention would be hard to use because you can't grip your hand on it. This invention would also hurt your finger with the amount of pressure you use.
Bean bag onesie	To make it easier to sit down anywhere and to have a beanbag wherever you go.	It might be hard to get on and could get hot while wearing it. The bean bag is small so it would be hard to get comfortable in it.
Umbrella tie	If it started raining you could have an umbrella ready for use.	The umbrella tie would be hard to put on and when walking it could be annoying with hitting against your chest, which would be more annoying when running.
