African American Inventors

Engage students in celebrating Black History Month by having your young historians read up on important African-American inventors! Students will use this worksheet to learn about six notable figures: Thomas Jennings, Sarah E. Goode, George Washington Carver, Frederick McKinley Jones, Otis Boykin, and Charles R. Drew. Then they will answer comprehension and trivia questions to show their understanding of the topic. This social studies worksheet pairs well with the fourth-grade curriculum.
