Jillian Z, Caroline H, & Danielle B: Ice Cream

Everett B: Toothbrush

Lourdes L, & Ella A: Chinese Noodles

Ally M: Compass

Andrew G & Walter S: Fireworks & Paper Money

Fact:

The Chinese invented the first ice cream maker

Impact

When ice cream spread across the Silk Road, many different variations were created. Today, we still have those types of ice cream and we have lots of flavors as well.

Rating

I'd give this invention five stars because I love all the types of ice cream that we have today, and Jillian's group did a great job with explaining their invention, giving the details of when and how it was invented and how it evolved over time. They also had a lot of fun pictures.

Chinese_noodles

Impact

I give this invention four stars because I really like noodles, but I don't really want to eat them constantly.

It was created by accident.

With the creation of Chinese noodles, many different types of noodles were created, including the dried ramen and cup of noodles.

Fact

toothbrush

Impact

I'd give this invention four stars because without this invention, we'd all have wooden teeth! (Or fake ones whatever you'd like.)

The first toothbrush was made with hog hair.

If we didn't have toothbrushes, then our health would worsen and we would be cleaning our teeth with bird feathers and porcupine needles.

Fact

compass

Impact

The compass helps travelers find their way and not lose their way.

It was once used for fortune telling

I give this invention five stars because this helps people find their way if they get lost, and ally had a very humorous presentation.

Fact

fireworks

Impact:

I give these inventions five stars because fireworks are very beautiful to see, and paper money is a lot more handy to have than coins.

Fireworks were used for war.

Without paper money, we'd be carrying heavy coins in our pockets and wallets.
