is a mixture of saltpete
nown,
r (potassium
nitrate), sulfur, and cha
rcoal.

A pair of light frames h
ung from the saddle
attached to the back of
an animal—usually a
horse or pony.

 Renaissance Period
The Renaissance was a period of rebirth in Europe,
and it was a period of inventions as well.

It is a period in European civilization immediately

following the middle ages and conventionally held to
have been characterized by a surge of interest in
classical scholarships and values.
Great
Inventions/
Discovery in
Renaissance
Period Telescope
is a device used to magn
ify objects from far
away and project the im
age directly into the eye
.
 Uses/Purpose
It was typically used to observe armies and
other objects across rivers, harbors, straits,
and other bodies of water. It could speed up
the detection of an invading force
and provide an adequate
time frame to assemble an
opposing army or to bring the
citizens to a point of safety.
Renaissance
Period

Printing Press
The printing press is a d
evice that allows for th
production of uniform pr e mass
inted matter, mainly text
in the form
of books, pamphlets and
newspapers.
 Uses/Purpose
The printing press made books easier and
cheaper to produce, which increased the
number of books, and lowered the cost of
books so that more people
could learn to read and get
more reading materials.
Renaissance
Period

Mechanical Clock
The mec
hanical clock comprises a
n oscillating
mechanism that marks t
he passing of time,
and an escapement that
counts its beats.
 Uses/Purpose
At the time of the invention of mechanical
clocks, the primary use was in the
monasteries. They were typically used to keep
track of hours for daily prayers,
to help monks calculate solar
and lunar eclipses, and to
determine feast days with
accuracy.
Renaissance
Period

Mariner's Compass
a device designed with a
magnetized needle to ro
towards the Earth’s ma tate
gnetic field to determine
directions.
 Uses/Purpose
Particularly important to navigation and
exploration: magnetic mariner's compass, which
helped sailors to accurately maneuver their
ships. It allowed navigators to
determine which way was
north and by extension to
determine all points of the
compass.
Renaissance
Period

Thermometer
Galileo's Thermometer
 Uses/Purpose

Thermometers measure various

temperature, by using materials that change
in some way when they are heated or
cooled.
 Industrial Period
This period forever changed the way people in
Europe and the United States lived and
worked. The Industrial Revolution led to
inventions on spinning and weaving, harnessing
electricity, and telegraph and telephone.
Great
Inventions/
Discovery in
Industrial
Period The Water Frame
patented in 1769 by Rich
ard Arkwright
 Uses/Purpose
It produced stronger and greater quantities of
thread than the spinning jenny did. The creation
of this ingenious machines made possible the mass
production of high-quality cotton
and woolen thread and yarn
and helped transform Great
Britain into the world’s leading
manufacturer of textiles in the
second half of the 18th century.
Industrial
Period

Watt's Steam Engine

invented by James Wat
t
 Uses/Purpose
Through its application in manufacturing and as a
power source in ships and railway locomotives, the
steam engine increased the productive capacity of
factories and led to the great
expansion of national and
international transportation
networks in the 19th century.
Industrial
Period

Electric Generator
demonstrted experiment
ally by
Michael Faraday
 Uses/Purpose
This first phenomenon eventually became the basis
of the electric motor, which converts electrical
energy into mechanical energy, while the second
eventually became the basis of the electric
generator, or dynamo, which
converts mechanical energy
into electrical energy.
Industrial
Period

The Incandescent Lamp

invented by Joseph Wils
on Swan and
Thomas Alva Edison
 Uses/Purpose
It produces continuous light by heating a filament
with an electric current in a vacuum (or near
vacuum). During the next 50 years, electric
incandescent lamps gradually replaced gas and
kerosene lamps as the major
form of artificial light in urban
areas, though gas-lit street
lamps persisted in Britain
until the mid-20th century.
Industrial
Period

The Telephone
invented by Alexander G
raham Bell
 Uses/Purpose
Initially the telephone was a curiosity or a toy for
the rich, but by the mid-20th century it had
become a common household instrument, billions of
which were in use throughout
the world.
 19th Century
The 19th century was the century from 1801 to
1900. During this period such concepts as
industialism, democracy and nationalism triggered
revolutionary changes in science, teachnology,
economics and politics.
Great
Inventions/
Discovery in
19th
Century Radium
an element, a highly radio
active metal.
 Uses/Purpose

Radium's main practical use has been in

medicine, producing radon gas from radium
chloride to be used in radiotherapy for
cancer.
19th
Century

Radioactivity
 Uses/Purpose
Radioactivity an important element of
internal earth dynamics and a powerful tool
for geologists. It is an important tool for
revealing the interior of the atom. And it is
the main source of deep heat
of the planet, and then
responsible for its internal
past and present dynamics.
19th
Century

Electron
the discovery by English
physicist
J.J. Thomson
 Uses/Purpose

It play an essential role in numerous physical

phenomena, such as electricity, magnetism,
chemistry and thermal conductivity, and they
also participate in gravitational,
electromagnetic and weak
interactions.
 20th Century
The twentieth century was a period of radical departure
in the way almost every previous area of human activity.
Accelerating scientific understanding, better
communications, faster transportation transformed the
world in those hundred years more than any time in the
past. It was a century that started with steam powered
ships as the most sophisticated means of transport, and
ended with the space shuttle.
Great
Inventions/
Discovery in
20th
Century Nuclear Weapons
 Uses/Purpose

Is used in international security during the

latter half of the twentieth century. It is
used for mass destruction.
20th
Century

Automobile
 Uses/Purpose
Automobile gave people more personal
freedom and access to jobs and services. It
led to development of better roads and
transportation (means of transportation).
20th
Century

Airplane
 Uses/Purpose

The broad spectrum of uses for airplanes

includes recreation, transportation of goods
and people, military, and research.
Aeroplanes were used for
observing the enemy from
the air during the First
World War.
20th
Century

Radio
 Uses/Purpose
From its birth early in the 20th century,
broadcast radio astonished and delighted the
public by providing news and entertainment with
an immediacy never before thought possible. The
prime purpose of radio is to convey
information from one place to
another through the
intervening media without
wires.
