發明和科學發現

In this ongoing class, learners will discover various inventions and scientific breakthroughs in detail along with the people who they are contributed to. We will cover the method of discovery, the date of each invention, and who they were all contributed to. Topics are designed to get students thinking about how our lives have benefited from these discoveries and to brainstorm on how to improve any drawbacks associated with them.  This class is presented in Nearpod and is lecture based with student discussion and questions to reinforce the material. I will screen share the slides so that students do not need to create an account.
