Why did the wheel change so much? How did people learn to light their homes? What can an invention make possible?
Your child points to something ordinary and asks who thought of it first. Suddenly a zip, a light bulb or a page in a book opens a conversation about the past. You want to share the story, but remembering names and dates is not always easy. The ideas behind inventions offer another way to explore.
You don’t need to know every answer to help your child discover something wonderful.
Join Ayden and Aysha as they discover the stories and science behind inventions that changed everyday life, from early tools to discoveries in medicine and communication. With 60 illustrated lessons, each beginning with a question, Inventions and History gives curious children aged 6 to 11 clear explanations and surprising Fun Facts about tools, printing, lenses, electricity, medicine and everyday inventions, and gives parents somewhere to begin.
Read one question together. Follow the conversation wherever it leads. Younger children can enjoy listening and asking more questions; confident readers can explore for themselves.
With a lesson index and four vocabulary pages, it’s easy to return to a favourite discovery or find the words for a new one.
Book 24 of 25 in the Ayden and Aysha Discover the World collection, created by Monalisa.
Help them see that familiar things began with people asking questions and trying new ideas.
