Description

Teach your students about 10 incredible inventors from history! Students will enjoy hearing how the world has been changed for the better by these innovators. Real photographs will lead to an even richer learning experience. Each inventor has 3 slides with information, as well as a discussion slide that will have your students discussing "How did the _______ make life better or easier?". This slideshow works wonderfully before launching into an invention project where students become the inventors!

Inventors/Inventions Covered:

  • Karl Benz - Automobile
  • Edwin Binney - Crayons
  • George Washington Carver - 300+ uses for peanuts
  • Ralph Baer - First Video Game Console
  • Josephine Cochrane - Automatic Dishwasher
  • Ajay Bhatt - USB
  • Alexander Graham Bell - Telephone
  • Johannes Gutenberg - Printing Press
  • Thomas Edison - Incandescent Lightbulb
  • Benjamin Franklin - Lightning Rod

Included Materials:

  • Engaging slideshow (PPT or Google Slides™) with 10 amazing inventors highlighted
  • Blank recording booklets for students to fill out as they learn (spots for 7 inventors)

In the slideshow, I have also included a page of suggested books to read alongside some of the inventors for further learning.
