I learned about three inventions and one inventor. The inventions are the flying shuttle, the marine chronometer, and the leyden jar. The inventor’s name is Anders Celsuis. First, I learned about the flying shuttle. The flying shuttle unleashed fabric production capability and sped up fabric production. John Kay invented the flying shuttle. He went into the textile business for himself. Second, I learned about the marine chronometer. The marine chronometer is immune to temperature pressure. John Arnold built the flying shuttle. Without the chronometer there would be no British empire. Third, I learned about Anders Celsuis. He was born in 1701. He participated in the expeditions to determine the Earth’s shape. His temperature scale became the world’s standard in the 1950s. Last, I learned about the leyden jar. The leyden jar is a battery that stores charge. The leyden jar was the main source of electricity before generators.          

I learned about three inventions and one inventor. The inventions are the coke-fired blast furnace, the Newcomen steam engine, and the octant. The inventor’s name is Thomas Newcomen. First, I learned about the coke-fired blast furnace. Darby invented the coke-fired Blast furnace and figured out how to make iron thinner. The coke-fired blast furnace iron was used to build the first iron arch bridge. Second, I learned about the Newcomen steam engine. It performs mechanical work and uses the vacuum to power the pump. It was used to power other tools and machinery. Third, I learned about Thomas Newcomen. Newcomen was born in Dartmouth in 1663 and he became an iron monger. Newcomen invented the Newcomen steam engine and was his greatest achievement. Lastly, I learned the octant. It measures distances between celestial objects. The octant is mostly used by sailors.

I learned about three inventions and one inventor. The inventions are the piano, the thermometer, and the seismometer. The inventor’s name is Gottfried Leibniz. First, I learned about Gottfried Leibniz. The Leibniz wheel was crucial for mechanical calculators. He invented calculus and was a practical inventor and engineer. His progress with the mechanical calculator kept the field alive. Second, I learned about the piano. The piano is used for teaching music education. Playing the piano became a family event and its popularity fell in the 1900s. Third, I learned about the thermometer. Thermometers measure temperature. Thermometers are used in medicine to save lives and devise cures. Last, I learned about the seismometer. Seismometers measure earthquakes. The seismometer needs a scale to complete its measurements.

I learned about one invention and three inventors. The invention is called calculus. The two inventors are Christiaan Huygens, Anton Van Leeuwhoek, and Isaac Newton. First, I learned about Christiaan Huygens. He discovered Saturn’s rings in 1655 and invented the pendulum clock in 1656. He also discovered the mathematical formula for centripetal force. Second, I learned about calculus. Calculus is the mathematical study of change. It explains music and motion and can be used in calculators and computers. Third, I learned about Anton Van Leeuwhoek. He is known for microscopic discoveries and he made his own microscopes. Google recognized his 384th birthday in front of millions of people on October 24, 2016. Last, I learned about Isaac Newton. He studied natural philosophy in college in 1665. Newton’s work revolutionized science and helped us put men on the moon. He discovered laws of motion, gravity, and also classical mechanics from motion.

I learned about three inventions and one inventor. The inventions are the mercury barometer, vacuum pump, and the pendulum clock. The inventor’s name is Robert Boyle. First, I learned about the mercury barometer. Barometers measure atmospheric pressure and have a tube and dish full of mercury, a dense liquid metal. A strange glow in the barometer’s tube prompted the study of electricity. Second, I learned about the vacuum pump. A vacuum is generally an area of lower pressure than atmospheric. The vacuum pump inspired Boyle who became the father of chemistry. Third, I learned about the pendulum clock. The pendulum clock releases one gear tooth per swing. It became the universal time keeping standard. Last, I learned about Robert Boyle. Robert was born in 1627 and studied Galileo’s work. He became a member of the invisible college to conduct scientific investigation. He believed science as a way to glorify God. He moved chemistry away from alchemy.
