Weather balloons at high altitudes are visible over a wide area and may catch the light of a setting sun and appear as brilliant dots in the darkening sky. Hot air, sport balloons, as well as blimps may also be misidentified. The first balloon flight was made on June 5, 1783 in France. The balloon, using hot air for lift, was constructed by Joseph and Elienne Montgolfier. It climbed to 5,906 feet and traveled nearly a mile. A few months later on November 21st, of that year, Pilatre de Rozier and marquis d'Arlandes made the first manned flight, also in a Montgolfier balloon. Balloons are large bags filled with a gas that is less dense, or lighter, than the air on the outside of the bag. The less dense Read More Go to Site "inQuiry Almanack" - Spotlighting... - March, 1997 Votes:0 A machine is a tool used to make work easier. Simple machines are simple tools used to make work easier. Compound machines have two or more simple machines working together to make work easier. In science, work is defined as a force acting on an object to move it across a distance. Pushing, pulling, and lifting are common forms of work. Furniture movers do work when they move boxes. Gardeners do work when they pull weeds. Children do work when they go up and down on a see-saw. Machines make their work easier. The furniture movers use a ramp to slide boxes into a truck. The gardeners use a hand shovel to help break through the weeds. The children use a see-saw to go up and down. The ramp, the shovel, and the see-saw are simple machines. Inclined Plane A plane is a flat surface.

In 1746 Franklin began to investigate electrical Read More Go to Site A History of Electricity Votes:0 A Brief History of Electricity By Redwood Kardon Picture animations by Paddy Morrissey Any history of electricity is a history of humans discovering and harnessing an essential force in nature–electromagnetism. Lightning is hard to ignore. It is an awe inspiring display of electricity almost universally manifested across the earth. It is a common experience to almost every human who has ever lived. Pre-historic depictions of it testify to how lightning has asserted itself into human consciousness for eons. Magnetism is not so obvious. The first evidence of human interaction with magnetic fields goes back about 2200 years. A precursor to the magnetic compass was utilized by Chinese fortune tellers as early as 200 BC. Let's take a brief stroll through the main gallery of electromagnetic Read More Go to Site A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Guglielmo Marconi Votes:0 --> Guglielmo Marconi 1874 - 1937 Guglielmo Marconi was born in Italy in 1874 to a rather wealthy Italian father and Irish mother. He was educated privately and then went to the Livorno Technical Institute. While there, he read an article that grabbed his attention. The article suggested the possibility of using radio waves to communicate without wires.The year was 1894, and the most modern way to send a message was over telegraph wires. (Heinrich Herz, for whom the units hertz and megahertz are named, had discovered and first produced radio waves in 1888.) Marconi jumped right on the problem. He began experimenting at his family's home near Bologna. Within a year he had sent and received signals beyond the range of vision (including over a hill) and then over increasingly great distances Read More Go to Site A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: Wallace Carothers Votes:0 --> Wallace Carothers 1896 - 1937 Wallace Carothers was the oldest of four siblings. His favorite sister became a radio star as part of a musical trio. Carothers was born in Iowa where his father was a teacher and administrator at Capital City Commercial College. Carothers studied accounting at Capital City after high school and then went to Tarkio College in Missouri where he studied science and taught accounting. Due to the personnel shortage, he even became head of the chemistry department during World War I! He graduated in 1920, then got his Master's degree from the University of Illinois the following year. He took a teaching post at the University of South Dakota, and there began working on organic chemistry, especially bonding. He found that he liked research far better than teachi Read More Go to Site American Inventors and Inventions Votes:0 Remembering Gallery American Inventors and Inventions Since 1790 the United States Patent Office has granted more than 6 million patents. The number of patents issued increased dramatically during the 19th century, stimulated by the American industrial revolution and further fueling it. The middle and late 19th century was a golden age for American invention. The technology envisioned by American inventors has improved our standard of living and linked us across physical and cultural divides. The Smithsonian preserves thousands of the models that inventors were required to submit with patent applications before 1880.

It was the scientist in Ben that brought out the inventor. His natural curiosity about things and the way they work made him try to find ways to make them work better. Ben had poor vision and needed glasses to read. He got tired of constantly taking them off and putting them back on, so he decided to figure out a way to make his glasses let him see both near and far. He had two pairs of spectacles cut in half and put half of each lens in a single frame. Today, we call them bifocals . For more information, visit Benjamin Franklin: Father of the Bifocal . Even though Ben is not famous for his study of bioscience, he was interested in how the human body works and looked for ways to help it work better.

Thomas Breningstall first published in Rural Heritage draft-animal magazine "For want of a nail, the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, the horse was lost. For want of a horse, the battle was lost. From loss of the battle, a war was lost." Or something like that. I'm sure you've heard it before. The importance of horseshoe nails is often overlooked or misunderstood. Can you imagine that first darn fool who tried to drive a nail into the foot of a horse to hold a shoe in place? I'd pay money to have seen that rodeo. History varies on the origin of iron horseshoes and horseshoe nails. Most historians think they were introduced around 500 or 600 B.C. and came into common use around 1,000 A.D.

Drummond lived with the Jarvik-7 for a week before an organ transplant. It was the first authorized use of an artificial heart as a bridge to organ transplantation. Dr. Robert K. Jarvik had developed the heart during the late 1970s, working with many other researchers. It consists of two ventricles (the heart's lower chambers) with air chambers and six titanium valves. It attaches to the patient's natural auricles (the heart's upper chambers).

Around 1850, he began concentrating on improving an existing sewing machine. Success followed quickly. This 1853 model is a commercial sewing machine. The patent claims were for the methods of feeding the cloth, regulating the tension on the needle thread, and lubricating the needle thread so that leather could be sewn. The development of practical sewing machines contributed to the growth of the ready-made clothing industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Just as importantly, it introduces or reinforces experimental technique and scientific thought: things like hypotheses, conclusions, deductions, predictions, applications, observations, documentation and data analysis. It also makes heavy use of language arts and math skills and provides an opportunity to reinforce teamwork skills. The unit is laid out for the kids to work in teams of two (or three if there's an odd number of students). It's important to stress that in experimental science, there is no "right answer".

By March 1876 he made a transmission, but the sound was very faint. He improved his results over the next few months, including a critical test with this instrument on November 26, when he transmitted sound clearly between Cambridge and Salem, Massachusetts. It functioned as both a transmitter and a receiver. Courtesy of the National Museum of American History , gift of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1923.

Canned rations provided to soldiers and explorers saved legions from sure starvation. So grateful for its inner contents were the hungry recipients that no one really complained about the sweat and toil often required to simply open the can. In 1858 Ezra J. Warner of Waterbury, Connecticut, patented the first can opener. An intimidating combination of bayonet and sickle, Warner's invention was nonetheless eagerly adopted by the U.S. military during the Civil War. Household use of the can opener increased when William W. Lyman's more user-friendly model was introduced in 1870.
