You have now made it to the end of Week 3 and have earned the right to choose your very own scientist, technologist, or inventor who you think has changed the world. There are no right or wrong choices for this activity, so find someone who interests you and tell us about them on your blog. It could be someone from your family, church or community or someone famous that you admire.
Here are some starting points in case you get stuck:
Karl Benz
Karl Benz was a German engine designer, automobile engineer. He created the first ever car. Cars are essential, as humans we've got to travel and an easy and more convenient way to travel is by car. If you have a car you wouldn't need to use the bus, your bike, or other transportation. 
Thomas Edison, Hiram Maxim & Joseph Swan
These three men invented the light bulb. Yes light bulbs may seem so very simple, but looks can be deceiving. Light bulbs are in fact so very complex. The first success of the light bulb lasted for 13.5 hours. Light bulbs are in every household and building. If it weren't for these men we would be living in the dark, literally!

Hi Mary
ReplyDeleteGreat work with this activity. You have chosen some really amazing and incredibly clever people to share the information with us that you have found.
All of these people have invented some very important things that we use everyday in our lives.
Imagine if we didn't have light bulbs to light up our houses at night time. It must have been a huge discovery when they invented them!
I love my car and the independence that it gives me. I like to be able to go where i want when I want. I would not be able to do this without a car. So I am so pleased that these were invented.
Well done Mary, another great activity.
Until next time
Allie :)
