Inventions

The difference between an invention and a discovery is that an invention is something that is created that did not exist before.  A discovery is something that already existed, but just hadn't been found yet.

As a third grade researcher you are asked to create a Power Point Presentation for your classmates that will examine the history of one invention that has made an impact on your life and the life of your peers.

Use the following sites as you use the AGOPP Research Model to learn about the invention of your choice.
