Compass
The compass is a magnet, it will always point north. It's important because people can explore more places and know how to get somewhere. We can discover more around the earth because we won't get lost, we will be able to find out about more animals in other places because we're able to travel there. It's important today because we can use GPS in cars so we don't get lost and we know where the place we need to go is. It's an example of human ingenuity -

because we developed the compass and invented the GPS. -

Printing Press
The printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in Germany. To print something they would have letter stamps and they would put it on to the form, they would rub ink on it and they have to apply a certain amount of pressure so that it goes on the paper. It's an example of human ingenuity because we can spread our knowledge. It's important because we can educate people around the world. It also helps people have entertainment because you can print more books for people to read. -

Linear Perspective
Filippo Brunelleschi was an architect he invented linear perspective. Linear perspective is when a painting has a vanishing point; a vanishing point is when you can't see anymore in the painting. This helps the painting have depth and be more life like and 3D. This is important because more cultures can express their beliefs through art. People can have better looking homes because they have good paintings with linear perspective. People can also express themselves better through painting with -

linear perspective. People can also express themselves better through painting with linear perspective. -

The Musket
The musket was invented in Spain. It's important because in wars, countries wouldn't be able to defend themselves. People can hunt and use the animals they kill for food. If it's during winter the skin from the animals could also be used as blankets and if they want to go out, it could be used as a coat. This is an example of human ingenuity because knew that they were having trouble defending themselves or that they couldn't get land because they didn't have good weapons, they also didn't know -

The Musket Continues
what to do with the gun powder they got from China so someone invented the musket. -

Knowledge of Childbirth
Leonardo Da Vinci performed surgery on a dead pregnant women. He drew sketches of what the fetus looked like. This is an example of human ingenuity because people died very easily and he decided to find out more about it, so he did. This is important because if people didn't find out more about how children grew inside the body, nobody would know what medicines the women had to take or how to give birth to a baby and the baby's would die more easily in the women's body. Children might also be -

Machiavelli 's way of leadership
Machiavelli wrote a book called 'The Prince' it's about how he thought leaders should act like. He thought that the ends justifies the cause. This is significant because this is the way some leaders act and it the followers complain becaue the leader is not treating them fairly. If the followers complain about the leader, and they act like what Machiavelli thinks a leader should act like it will end badly; it will probably death for some followers. This is an example of human ingenuity because -
Flush Toilet continues
because people developed from using chamber pots to using flush toilets; they solved the problem of having to walk out -
Flush Toilet
The flush toilet was invented by John Harrington in England. When you flush, water would be pushed down and the water would bring the waste into the pipes. It's important because people won't get sicknesses from people's waste lying around somewhere, we will be healthier and less likely to get sick because of it; people can also be more hygienic. It's significant because people don't have to walk all the way to an outhouse, they can just go at their house. It's an example of human ingenuity -
Telescope
This was invented by Galileo. A telescope collects light from a distant object and brings it to focus. This is an example of human ingenuity because it shows how people developed eye glasses to telescopes and it also shows how people discovered more about things that aren't on earth. This is important because if we didn't people wouldn't know about what comets/meteors and if it came people wouldn't know what to do and that could be dangerous. -
Water Thermometer
Galileo invented this in 1593. He put bulbs of different mass and when the water was heated some bulbs would sink and some would stay which was how people knew if it was hot or cold. It is an example of human ingenuity because different inventors all developed it more so that it became better. It makes peoples lives easier for example, it's easier to tell if something is going to boil or not instead of having to look or touch it. -
Submarine
Leonardo Da Vinci made the plans for the submarine. A submarine is something that has 2 shells, in between them it can be filled with water or air; when the submarine is going to resurface it's filled with air and when it is going to be underwater it is filled with water. This is an example for human ingenuity because Leonardo Da Vinci made the plans for it and someone else made the submarine, they took something that someone thought of and made it. This is important because people can explore -

life underwater and find out more about marine life. It's also important because in wars, a country can protect themselves from attacks underwater because they have submarines. -
Blood Circulation
Blood circulation was discovered by William Harvey. Blood circulation is when your heart pumps the blood through your body, it's the system that's used to distribute blood through out your body. This is important because people can understand how people's bodies work and might be able to help more if someone is sick. It's an example of human ingenuity because people wanted to find out more about their bodies/themselves so they tried until they found it, they used this knowledge to create -

so they tried until they found it, they used this knowledge to create medicine and vaccines. They used what they had to create something more and something better for the community. -
Calculator
Blaise Pascal invented the calculator in France. A calculator uses binary (1 and 2's) to calculate everything. The calculator would be a brass box, it would have 8 moveable dials with the digits 0-9. This is an example of human ingenuity because Pascal started with only 5 dials and he made one that was 8 after. This is important to the world because it helps people do math equations faster, doing this is important because if in science experiments, you can do the math faster and get better -

results/ discover new things faster.
