Your Journey...
At this point in your journey, it is now time for you to do some exploring. You will be making a list of some of the top inventions throughout history and then making your own list of three inventions that you could not live without.
Second Step
I want you to use the resources given below to compile a list of what you think the top ten inventions are throughout history and why you have included them on your list. After you have completed this list of top ten inventions, then I want you to make your own list of three inventions that you could not live without and why. These three inventions can be from your list of ten or they can be others that weren't included in that list.
Resources
The following is a list of resources that will be helpful in compiling your list of top ten inventions. This is where you get to venture into on-line museums and try out some of the exhibits. So don't just jot down some inventions that you can think of off the top. Have some fun with this one!
