We have been learning about Troy history in social studies. We've learned that the period from 1900 - 1950 was a time when lots of things were changing! Troy went from a small pioneer town to a growing farming community. Cars, railroads, and electricity came to Troy during this time, and we are imagining all the ways those inventions must have changed people's lives! In fact, today we learned about several inventions from this time, like the assembly line, the airplane, and the pop-up toaster!

If you copy and paste the link into the "website" box when you leave a comment, it will turn up as a link next to your name. Try my link! It goes to the Prezi we saw today. (Even though it has a typo, we still enjoyed the pictures of the inventions!)

WOW!!!!! I did not know that!!!!!!! Band-aids. They were invented in 1921 by Earle Dickson because his wife kept getting cut cooking food. Dickson took a piece of gauze and attached it to the center of a piece of tape, and then covered the product with crinoline to keep it sterile. Band-aids have changed peoples lives because when someone gets hurt now they can put a band-aid on it. I should know I use them all the time.

Microwave oven. It was invented in 1947 and it heated up food faster than a regular oven. It made it easier for people to make food without having to use a slow oven or a fire.

Police officer William L. Potts invented the "Traffic Lights" in 1920. He was from Detroit, Michigan. He wanted to find a better solution instead of just using stop signs.

It looks like we have TWO different claims about who invented stop lights! Grant found a source that said it was Garret Morgan. I wonder how we could find out more about this. We need more evidence to see who it really was!!

Antibiotics were invented in 1928 by Professor Alexander Fleming. He discovered antibiotics by accident when he was cleaning his lab. This discovery has helped many people become well when they are sick. As an example, you take antibiotics to treat strep throat and other infections.
