Define Novelty & Creative Inventions

Novelty (derived from Latin word novus for "new") is the quality of being new. Although it may be said to have an objective dimension (e.g. a new style of art coming into being, such as abstract art or impressionism) it essentially exists in the subjective perceptions of individuals.

It also refers to something novel; that which is striking, original or unusual. The term can have pejorative sense and refer to a mere innovation.

Creative Inventions Safety Message: Whether you are in a vehicle, on a bicycle or on foot, you are required to obey the railroad warning signs, flashing lights and gates.

OVERVIEW

This lesson provides students the opportunity to use creative thinking and problem solving skills and engages them in a real-life situation. Students may work individually or with a partner to design a new invention or idea for their community to solve the problem of people driving around lowered gates at a railroad crossing.

OBJECTIVES

Students will be able to:

• Recognize the serious danger of vehicles driving around lowered gates.
• Design a new invention to solve the problem of vehicles driving around lowered gates.
• Realize that citizens need to follow safety precautions as suggested in the safety messages.

HIGHER ORDER THINKING

To assure students are using critical thinking skills, present problems such as this at an appropriate place within the lesson: Who in the community might object to your ideas of trying to stop people from driving around lowered gates? How will you fund your project? (Consider that yours may not be the only community in need of this device!) Is there a chance it may fail sometimes? How would you insure that it fails at a low percentage rate?

EXTENSIONS

Social Studies: Research the history of railway signs. When was the first active, or flashing lights warning device?

Arts: Design a poster that would help sell your invention/idea to your community and its leaders.

What is Creativity?

George Bernard Shaw quotes: “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: Ability to produce something new through imaginative skill, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form. The term generally refers to a richness of ideas and originality of thinking. Psychological studies of highly creative people have shown that many have a strong interest in apparent disorder, contradiction, and imbalance, which seem to be perceived as challenges. Such individuals may possess an exceptionally deep, broad, and flexible awareness of themselves. Studies also show that intelligent has little correlation with creativity; thus, a highly intelligent person may not be very creative.
