Throughout history‚ great world structures depended on the extraction of mined materials. Early civilizations depended upon sheer labor to extract these materials. This was shown to be very labor and time intensive. Especially early on when stone tools were the only thing available. The solution to this problem came in the late 1800s with the invention of dynamite. Gunpowder is considered the first explosive to be discovered. It was first discovered many years ago in China and India. Early uses of

The Manhattan Project was a turning point in discovery and weapons. But how do atomic bombs work? Why were they made? And how had it changed us as humans? Nuclear energy has changed humans. It started in 1939 when Albert Einstein‚ a German scientist‚ found out that the Nazis were trying to build a powerful bomb. He warned President Roosevelt about it and persuaded him to try to build one before they did. It would change history. Although he did warn them‚ he was denied “because the left-leaning

management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as aviation lighting‚ digital microscopes‚ automotive lighting‚ advertising‚ general lighting‚ and traffic signals. LEDs have allowed new text‚ video displays‚ and sensors to be developed‚ while their high switching rates are also useful in advanced communications technology. Infrared LEDs are also used in the remote control units of many commercial products including televisions

Inventions created during the ancient eras often leave an impact on the civilizations around at the time‚ but over time‚ fade due to steadily improving technology. Though with the innovations from Ancient China such as paper‚ print and the gun‚ the inventions not only effected Ancient China‚ but the entire globe‚ and still to this day are heavily relied-upon tools in the modern world.

magnetized compass needles for much longer periods of time. Lord Kelvin corrected this by using small magnets that surrounded the compass and prevented deviation. The small magnets were known as corrector magnets (Travers 155). Many different compasses have been invented‚ with various uses‚ but some stand out more than others. The well-known compasses today are the magnetic compass‚ the gyrocompass‚ the liquid compass‚ and the steering compass. The magnetic compass uses a magnetic needle; this is glued

Discovery Wheel and Multiple Intelligences While evaluating the data from the discovery wheel‚ it was noted that for the most part all of the team fell into the same range. Most of the team appeared to score above average in all of the categories on the discovery wheel. All six of us scored high in attitude and purpose and all six of us scored low in tests and time. Money was split. For three of the members it was in the top half of the list and was in the bottom half for the other three.

Archaeological discoveries made in the 1920s play a vital role in understanding how and when ancient Americans and their descendants resided in North America. Their culture and way of life. In the following paragraph I will discuss how the Folsom discoveries helped scholars understand the migration of ancient American into the Western Hemisphere‚ their origin as well as the geological condition that facilitated the migration. And finally how the interaction between Native American and the environment
