-Spear- What is the spear made of and
who invented it?
Spear is made of
sharpened stone and wooden
shaft and invented by western
chimpanzee. Archeologists
date the invention of wooden
spears on 400,000 years ago,
which the rise of modern
humans by some 300,000
years.

*use for hunting and observed to create spears by
fishing breaking straight limbs off
trees, stripping them of their
bark and side branches, and
sharpening one end with their
teeth. They then used the
weapons to hunt galagos
ANCIENT PERIOD
-Bricks- What is Bricks?
Bricks is a building
material used to make
walls, pavements and other
elements in masonry
construction. Traditionally,
the term brick referred to a
unit composed of clay, but
it is now used to denote

Who invented Bricks?
Jericho, Catal Hüyük & the
ancient Egyptian
What year it is invented?
The first bricks that we
know about were being made in
Jericho as long ago as 8000 BC.
The people there had discovered
they could make simple bricks
by leaving clay mud to dry in
the sun.
Other more recent findings,
dated between 7,000 and 6,395
BC
What is the purpose of
inventing Bricks?
The purpose of bricks is
that they are made in very hot
kilns and to a specific size.
Density will vary depending
on the material that the bricks
are made i.e. clay from the
ground. Because the bricks
are made in hot kilns, they
will withstand hot
temperatures in the summer
i.e. will not crack. dense
bricks will withstand harsh
winters there are buildings
around the country that are
very old and the brickwork is
 What is its use?
Bricks are used as an alternative of stones in
construction purpose. Here some main uses of
construction brick are given below.
• Construction of walls of any size
• Construction of floors
• Construction of arches and cornices
• Construction of brick retaining wall
• Making Khoa (Broken bricks of required size) to use
as an aggregate in concrete

-Bolo Knife- What is Bolo?
A bolo (Tagalog: iták,
Cebuano: súndang,
Ilokano: bunéng,
Hiligaynon: binangon) it is

Filipino origin similar to
the machete. It is used

narrow row crops found on
terraces such as rice,
soybeans, and peanuts.
 The bolo was the primary weapon used by the
Katipunan during the Philippine Revolution. It was also
used by the Filipino guerrillas and bolomen during the
Philippine-American War.
The bolo serves as a symbol for the Katipunan and
the Philippine Revolution, particularly the Cry of Pugad
Lawin. Several monuments of Andres Bonifacio, as
with other notable Katipuneros, depict him holding a
bolo in one hand and the Katipunan flag in the other.

MIDDLE PERIOD
-Cast Iron- The first famous
metallurgist in ancient China is
Qiwu Huaiwen of the Northern
Wei Dynasty, who invented the
process of using wrought iron and
cast iron to make steel on the 5th
century BC and poured into molds
to make ploughshares and pots as
well as weapons and pagodas.
Although steel was more
desirable, cast iron was cheaper
and thus was more commonly
used for implements in ancient
China, while wrought iron or steel
 What is the use of cast iron?
It is used to make pots and pans and all sort of
utensils that are used for heating purposes. This is
because the cast iron surface distributes the heat
from the stone evenly all over its surface. It can
also be used for baking purposes. It is even used
to make stoves from a single piece of mould.

MIDDLE PERIOD
-Plow- Who invented the steel
plow?
John Deere invented
the steel plow.
What was it used for?
It was used for farming
to break up tough soil
without soil getting
stuck to it.
 When was it invented or first
used?
John Deere invented the
steel plow in 1837 when the
Middle-West was being
settled. The soil was different
than that of the East and
wood plows kept breaking.
Where was it created or
discovered ?
He invented it in Grand
Detour, Illinois where he had
settled.
Why was it invented/purpose?
Wood plows couldn't plow the
rich soil of the Middle-West
without breaking. John Deere
thought about it and was
convinced that only a plow with
mould board, made of good
steel that isn't rusted would
solve this problem.
How was it invented or
discovered?
He made his first plow out of an
old blade saw. He then did tests
on different types of soil.
MIDDLE PERIOD
-Sword- Who/When Sword is
invented?
The first weapons that
can be described as
"swords" date to around
3300 BC. They have been
found in Arslantepe,
Turkey, are made from
arsenical bronze, and are
 What is Sword use fore?
Used to administer various physical
punishments, such as non-surgical amputation or
capital punishment by decapitation. The use of a
sword, an honourable weapon, was regarded in
Europe since Roman times as a privilege reserved
for the nobility and the upper classes.

MODERN PERIOD
-Fluorescent- FLOURESCENT WAS
INVENTED BY:
The invention of the
fluorescent lamp was a
long process. It started
with Alexandre E.
Becquerel who studied the
phenomenon called
fluorescence in 1859. It’s
 Peter Cooper Hewitt put the
science to practical use with his
lamp in 1901. However, he used
Mercury vapor as the fluorescent
material which produced a
greenish light.
Georges Claude improved
the technology in 1909 by using
Argon which produced a bluish
light. Coating the lamp with a
fluorescent material was
introduced by Jacques Risler in
1929 which led to the bluish light
turning white.
Most of these patents were
later bought by General Electric.
The company worked on the
electrical components of the
fluorescent lamp including the
ballast and electrodes.
PURPOSE OF INVENTING
FLOURESCEMT:
It was the product of 79
years of the development of the
lighting method that began with
the invention of the electric light
bulb by Thomas Edison. Among
the other inventors who claimed
credit for developing the
fluorescent lamp were French
physicist A. E.
USES OF FLOURESCENT:
A fluorescent lamp, or
fluorescent tube, is a low-pressure
mercury-vapor gas-discharge lamp
that uses fluorescenceto produce
visible light. An electric current in
the gas excites mercury vapor,
which produces short-wave

PERIOD
-Electric Fan-
Who/When it was invented?
The fan was invented in
1882 by Schuyler Skaats
Wheeler. A few years later,
Philip Diehl mounted a fan
blade on a sewing machine
motor and attached it to the
ceiling, inventing the ceiling
fan, which he patented in
1887. Later, he added a light
fixture to the ceiling fan. Later
 Uses and its Purpose:
Fans are often used to cool people, they
do not actually cool air (electric fans may
warm it slightly due to the warming of their
motors), but work by evaporative cooling of
sweat and increased heat convection into the
surrounding air due to the airflow from the
fans.

-Television- When was Television
invented?
Electronic elevision was first
successfully demonstrated in
San Francisco on Sept. 7,
1927.
Who invented?
The system was designed by
Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a 21-
year-old inventor who had

While still in high school,
Farnsworth had begun to conceive of a Television is a system
system that could capture moving for transmitting visual
images in a form that could be coded images and sound that are
onto radio waves and then transformed
back into a picture on a screen. Boris reproduced on screens,

PERIOD Who invented USB?
Ajay V. Bhatt, is an Indian-
Serial Bus- American computer architect
developed the USB.
When is was invented?
The first USB technology
began development in 1994, co-
invented by Ajay Bhatt of Intel
and the USB-IF (USB
Implementers Forum, Inc). The
organization is comprised of
industry leaders like Intel,
Microsoft, Compaq, LSI, Apple
 Purpose of inventing USB:
Since the invention of
the USB flash drive, the
devices have been used for
personal backup, system
administration, increased
software mobility and to
create bootable flash drives
for the purposes of quickly
launching or running an
operating system on a
computer.
What is the used of USB?
USB is the most
popular connection used to
connect a computer to
devices such as digital
cameras, printers,
scanners, and external hard
drives. USB is a cross-
platform technology that is
supported by most of the
major operating systems.
