Inventors and Inventions

On Dec. 2 we started new units called Inventors and Inventions. In class we watched Brain Pop about inventors who are Benjamin Franklin and Leonardo da Vinci. Benjamin Franklin was scientist, writer, diplomats and politics in United States. Leonardo da Vinci was artist, scientists, technician and thinkers. After we watched the Brain Pop we discuses about qualities of inventors. We choose lots of characteristics; risk-taker, creative, artistic, curious and multi-talented. Then we took a quiz in our planer for what I’m interest and different ways to learn. After solve the all quiz we discuss about it and Jill and Namuun drew a picture.

The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell (1847.3.3~1922.8.2) His magnetic phone received a patent in 1876. Now a day’s the magnetic phone become telephone. Alexander Graham Bell was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1847.3.3. He made a bell telephone company. Usually think the first inventor of telephone is Alexander Graham Bell, but the first inventor is Antonio Meucci. He is Italian guy. When he wants get patent so he talked with Western Union Telegraph Company. When he decides with the company, he forgot his model of telephone and blueprint. After this happen, Bell get patent with almost same telephone.

After the telephone invented, people can talk with phone. Before the telephone was not invented, they need to send a letter or meet and talk face to face. These are having problems when the people live very separate or they traveled to other country. But the telephone makes more life easier. Now the telephone can call to everywhere.
