| Summary: | Age Range: 10-18 (about middle school and high school level) ClickScholar Wendy suggested this website that traces the path of man through history via the "Greatest Inventions" of all time. As Wendy wrote, "It's chock-full of timelines, quotes and other ool stuff!" And it includes descriptions of the great inventions as well as biographies of the inventors |

| Description: | When you click on the url above, you will land on the "Site Map" for this website. It gives you a quick overview of what's available and I found it to be the easiest way to navigate my way through the site. You'll discover: *Timelines - See how people evolved from the invention of the printing press in 1450 to modern inventions like the DVD. *Inventions - Learn about some of the greatest inventions that have improved the quality of life for people and discover why Greek philosopher Plato said, "Necessity is the mother of invention". *Inventors - Meet the great inventors who created tools and devices to improve the quality of the life. *Interactive - Try your hand at solving and playing the interactive puzzles and games. They require some of the specialized knowledge about inventors and inventions you'll learn at the site. You'll also find links to all kinds of other websites that have resources about inventions and inventors to further learning. I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND taking the virtual "Guided Tour" of the site, as it gives you a birds-eye-view of what you can learn here. The direct link is: http://www.homefires.com/click?tour Enjoy! |
