Have you ever read a book about the pioneers? Think about all the household products we take for granted that people didn’t have 200 years ago! Click on the links below to learn about some household inventions we couldn't live without.
It's Amazing how we went from the candlestick to the light switch. Thomas Edison made that possible and we should thank him for it. Did you know that Edison failed hundreds of times before he actually got the light bulb to work?
Another highly used household invention is the camera. Many, many scientists put in so much hard work before the camera became what it is today. The camera went from a box with two holes to a high tech zoom lens machine with many automatics.
Did you know that stoves used to burn wood to produce heat? We’re lucky now! Even before there were electric and gas stoves, people could cook food without the room getting smoky thanks to Benjamin Franklin. Also, learn about Benjamin Franklin's invention that is still very popular today and has hardly changed at all - bifocal glasses!
