(Answers on page 15)<br />

If you need to, use the hints given below about each inventor:<br />

1. Got Milk? Thanks to this inventor,<br />

you have it for a longer time : the<br />

process he invented kills most<br />

bacteria and makes food safer.<br />

2. When he invented this bright little<br />

thing, did one of them pop up<br />

over his head?<br />

3. Thanks to her, you can see much<br />

better when driving a car.<br />

4. His design wasn’t tested for five<br />

hundred years but, despite what<br />

some critics said, it flew perfectly.<br />

5. His truly explosive invention made<br />

him rich, allowing him to create a<br />

series of prestigious prizes.<br />

6. Thanks to his invention, this man<br />

could see right through you.<br />

7. She knew she had been successful<br />

when she saw her discovery<br />

glow in the dark from radiation.<br />

8. His invention allowed more people<br />

to read books than ever<br />

before in history.<br />

9. Thanks to him, voices and information<br />

can reach across the<br />

world.<br />

10. When their invention worked, it<br />

gave people quite a lift.<br />

Answers from page 15:<br />

1. Without enough air or gas present, there is not enough resistance to provide drag or lift.<br />

2. Parachutes can be used to slow down landing planes, rocket components or space shuttles, and even some race cars.<br />

3. Without a force pulling it in one direction, the parachute will simply let the air slip to the sides, turning or slipping back and forth like a falling leaf.<br />

4. Planes use the thrust from their engines to provide speed and lift.<br />

5. Aerodynamics are used to reduce the drag caused by air resistance, providing better road handling and even reducing gas consumption.<br />
