[eMINTS] scientists and inventors

[Charlotte McNeary]

Julie,

I cover inventors during Feb. and do it over famous black inventors.  It 
takes care of 2 requirements (Back History month, and the Inventors GLE) at 
one time.  I made a webquest about it.  Check it out if you wish.  The kids 
really enjoyed it last year and it doesn't take a lot of time.
