Inventions That Changed the World

What would happen if every invention humans had ever made suddenly disappeared?

No wheels. No refrigerators. No electricity. No phones. No airplanes. No computers.

In Inventions That Changed the World, kids are invited to imagine that very strange world—and then travel through thousands of years of history to discover the inventions that transformed everyday life.

From the wheel and printing press to the compass, steam engine, electric light, telephone, airplane, and computer-- children will discover how ordinary problems led people to ask big questions, experiment, fail, try again, and eventually create something that changed the way people live.

Throughout the audio, kids are encouraged to see invention through a Christian worldview. God created the world and gave human beings minds capable of observing, reasoning, building, discovering, and learning. We explore how people can use those abilities to serve others—and why having a powerful tool doesn't automatically mean knowing how to use it wisely.

Along the way, they'll learn:

• How the wheel changed transportation and machinery
• Why writing and the printing press transformed the spread of knowledge
• How a tiny compass needle responds to Earth's magnetic field
• How steam became a source of mechanical power
• How electric lighting became practical
• How the telephone transformed communication
• How the Wright brothers turned careful experimentation into powered flight
• How computers went from room-sized machines to devices in our pockets
• Why failure is often part of the invention process
• How technology can be used for good or for harm
• How studying and creating can be part of using the abilities God has given us

And because learning should be fun, there's plenty of humor along the way—including enormous computers, nervous ship captains, carrier pigeons, and the very important invention of the microwave.

Study the world God made. Ask questions. Keep learning. Keep building. Keep discovering. Who knows? The next great idea might come from someone listening right now.
