HISTORY/

DISCOVERY OF
INVENTIONS
 HISTORY
It is the study of change over time, and it covers all
aspects of human society. Political, social,
economic, scientific, technological, medical,
cultural, intellectual, religious and military
developments are all part of history.
 INVENTION
An invention uses technology to solve a specific

S
problem. The technical features of an invention
have a function through which the problem – the
purpose of the invention – is solved. The technical
character necessary for patenting requires that the
laws of nature are used to achieve the objective.
DISCOVERY OF GRAVITY
• Newton published his
Universal Law of Gravitation
in 1687.
• He observed an apple falling
from a tree and straight to the
ground.
CONTRIBUTIONS
• Disproving that the Earth was the center
of the solar system.
• Proving that all planets revolve around
the sun.
• Explains why the Earth's gravity keeps
humans and animals on the ground and
what causes objects to fall.
HUMAN FLOURISHING
• Gravity is applied through projectiles,
satellites, planets, galaxies, and clusters
of galaxies.
• Invention of calculus which applies in
various fields of study.
• Gravity holds the Earth in place and the
solar system all together and humans
cannot survive without it.
 TELESCOPE
The telescope is a device
that can magnify distant
objects using lenses or
mirrors.
• The first person to patent the
telescope was Hans Lippershey, a
Dutch eyeglass maker, in 1608.
Despite being red, Mars is actually a
cold place. It’s full of iron oxide dust,
• Zacharias which
Jansen reddishand
cast Jacob Metius,
is what gives the planet its

also from the Netherlands, were

other contenders VENUS
for the title .
Venus has a beautiful name and is the

• Galileo Galilei, who improved

second planet from the Sun. It’s
terribly hot, more than Mercury, which the
is closer to the Sun
design and used it for astronomy .
CONTRIBUTION OF
TELESCOPE
Telescope has contributed to many
discoveries and advances in astronomy,
such as the structure of the solar system,
the nature of stars and galaxies, the
expansion of the universe, and the
existence of exoplanets and black holes.
 HOW DOES TELESCOPE
CONNECTS TO HUMAN
FLOURISHING?
• By using telescopes, we can explore the
wonders of the natural world, discover new
knowledge, appreciate the beauty and
diversity of creation, and inspire curiosity
and awe.
•Telescopes can also foster a sense of
wonder and gratitude for our existence,
as well as a sense of responsibility and
stewardship for our planet and its
inhabitants.
•Telescopes can thus be seen as tools that
enhance our human flourishing by
expanding our horizons and enriching
our lives.
 PROCESSED FOOD
Processed food, refers broadly to
any food that has been in some way
altered from its raw state. Food
processing encompasses a wide
range of activities, and most foods
are processed to some degree
before consumed.
Nicolas Appert, in full Nicolas-François
Appert, (born c. 1749, Châlons-sur-
Marne, France—died June 3, 1841,
Massy, near Paris), French chef,
confectioner, and distiller who invented
the method of preserving food by
enclosing it in hermetically sealed
containers.
 CONTRIBUTIONS
Processed food contributes to
both food security (ensuring that
sufficient food is available) and
nutrition security (ensuring that
food quality meets human nutrient
needs).
 HUMAN
FLOURISHING
Food processing allows key nutrients to be
sealed in right after harvesting. This in turn
means that individuals get more nutrients
from the food they eat. Processed foods can
also be fortified with additional nutrients
such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber to
boost the health profile of foods.
 RADIO
~In 1895, a young Italian named Gugliemo Marconi
invented what he called “the wireless telegraph” while
experimenting in his parents' attic.
~He used radio waves to transmit
Morse code and the instrument
he used became known as the radio.
 CONTRIBUTIONS
• Provide real-time information and can provide
the most recent news updates and entertainment
to listeners.
• Used for transmitting sound and television
signals. -saves lives in emergencies, when
disaster and calamities strikes
• Used for communication and connect people
all ways never before possible.
 Human Flourishing
Radio has been essential in
emergency response, giving
people crucial information
during disasters and assisting in
lifesaving.
 Microscope
Microscope came from the Greek word
"micros" meaning small and "skopion"
meaning to see small things.
It is defined as an optical instrument that
can be used to view or observe small
objects, mineral samples or animal or
plant cells, typically magnified several
hundred times.
 Timeline of the
Microscope
1590: Two Dutch spectacle-makers and
father-and-son team, Hans and
Zacharias Janssen, created the first
microscope.
1667: Robert Hooke's famous
"Micrographia" is published, which
outlines Hooke's various studies using
the microscope.
1675: Enter Anton van Leeuwenhoek,
who used a microscope with one lens to
observe insects and other specimen.
Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe
bacteria.
1903: Richard Zsigmondy invented
the ultramicroscope, which allows
for observation of specimens below
the wavelength of light.
1932: Transparent biological
materials are studied for the first
time using Frits Xernike's invention
of the phase-contrast microscope.
1938: Just six years after the invention of
the phase contrast microscope comes the
electron microscope, developed by Ernst
Ruska, who realized that using electrons
in microscopy enhanced resolution.
1981: 3D specimen images were made
possible with the invention of the
scanning tunneling microscope by Gerd
Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer.
2008: The TEAM 0.5 debuted. It is the
world’s most powerful transmission
electron microscope and is capable of
producing images half a ten-billionth
of a meter.
2013: Researchers used microscopes
to demonstrate how life could have
started.
Microscopes have been a crucial tool in
scientific development, allowing humans
to observe and study objects and
organisms at a level of detail that was
previously impossible. This invention
enabled researchers and scientists to
describe the body at the microscopic level
more consistently and with greater
confidence in what they saw.
The microscope connects to human flourishing
in various ways. Microscopes have contributed
to medical advances, scientific knowledge,
technological advancements, and educational
opportunities, all of which have improved
people's lives and well-being. They have
enabled early diagnosis and treatment of
diseases, developed new treatments and drugs,
created new technologies, and expanded
ideation of the world.
 Overall, the microscope has
been an essential tool for
advancing scientific
knowledge and
understanding.
