I learned about three inventions and one inventor this week. The inventions are the compound microscope, the newspaper, and the telescope. The inventor’s name is Wiliam Gilbert. First, I learned about the compound microscope. Compound microscopes generate 1000 xt magnification. People use it to see blood cells in t-rex bones. Second, I learned about Wiliam Gilbert and his life. He resurrected scientific interest in magnetism and introduced the concept of attractive force. His book impacted the course of history. Third, I learned about the newspaper. Newspapers quickly transmit information. They also captured the universities, the churches and the courts. Finally, I learned about the telescope. They are used to magnify far away objects and improve our ability to see into the cosmos. They allow us to see waves invisible to our eyes.
