Science is integral to education and the advancement of
knowledge of the world around us. Science is the study of nature
and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain
about them.
There are some inventions of science which helps is in
our everyday life such as printing press, wheel, magnets, compass
and such other. These inventions make our work easier and faster.
Therefore, these inventions are described respectively.
Printing Press: was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in 1439. It
makes our work easier. It allowed people to make books,
pamphlets and other texts quickly, cheaply and in large numbers. It

wheels are bicycle, skate board, windmill, drill, screwdriver and
such others. The invention of the wheel made transport faster and
easier for humans, they could also save a lot of travel time and
dedicate that time towards other useful activities.
Magnets: Magnets are usually made of iron and steel. They are
used for holding objects in electrical appliances with motors in
loudspeakers and electric doorbells. An instrument which makes
use of a magnet is the compass. Magnets are found almost
everywhere. Inventions involving magnets have a wide range of
applications, from technology and industry to everyday life applications, from technology and industry to everyday life.
Compass: a compass has a needle which is a magnet. A compass can be
used to help us find directions. Compasses are still widely used today. The
compass is the symbol for guidance and direction. The 4 directions of
compass are East, West, North &South.
