Process

O.K. Let's get started...You are going to use the links below to try and locate information about inventions. You will be working in teams of 2, or by yourself. Remember, you need to find the who, when, what and why for each invention, so you will have to THINK about some of them. That means:

  • Who invented it                      

  • When was it invented

  • What is it used for

  • Why was it invented

Here's a list of " types" of inventions you need to find.

  • 3 things invented by women

  • 3 things invented before the year 5 BC

  • 3 games or toys

  • 3 Chinese inventions

  • 3 food related inventions

  • 3 everyday items, that you have around your house

  • 2 inventions each from the following categories ( these should be the most important in your opinion)

                             communication

                             transportation

                             biotechnology

                             construction

                             manufacturing

                             recreation

That's a total of 30 inventions! When you find one, record it on the handout. Use the links below to locate information.
