Modern World History

Invention Project

In Chapters 9 and 10 we have been looking at the major ideas and inventions of the Industrial Revolution. Most were created by manufacturers to help increase their profits. Inventions are also made to solve problems or to make life easier.

You are going to come up with an idea for a new invention of your own. Your invention must solve a legitimate problem faced in the United States or the world today. Keep it school appropriate. Most inventions of the Industrial Revolution fell into one of the following areas:

1) Agriculture

2) Transportation

3) Domestic Improvements (makes life easier)

Your invention may fall under one of these categories or another if you see a major problem that needs to be fixed.

I MUST APPROVE ALL INVENTIONS!

I reserve the right to veto project ideas. If your project is not approved and I deem it inappropriate, you will receive a zero on this project.

Your project must include the following:

1) You must create an advertisement for your invention that would appear in a magazine, newspaper or the Internet. Your advertisement must include the following information: product price, where I can buy the product and a picture or drawing of the invention.

2) Written explanation- your explanation should discuss why your invention was needed, how you came up with the idea and how it works. This needs to be typed or very neatly written.
