Match the invention with its inventor

Kid inventors Match the invention with its inventor Popsicle In 1905, eleven-year-old FRANK EPPERSON left a cup filled with powdered soda, water and a stirring stick on his San Francisco porch. That night, low temperatures caused the mixture to freeze and a summertime staple was born. Today, two billion of them are sold every year. Earmuffs In 1877, 15-year-old CHESTER GREENWOOD was tired of having cold ears when he went skating. He built a wire frame and had his grandmother help sew pieces of beaver skin to it to keep his ears warm. The invention was a hit- especially with soldiers during World War I. Trampoline If you love to bounce, you can thank GEORGE NISSEN. At the age of 16, after watching trapeze artists drop into the safety nets beneath them, he got an idea thinking it would be cooler if they could bounce out of the net instead.

The language of the blind Before 1825, when 15-year-old LOUIS BRAILLE invented the raised series of dots that make up the Braille alphabet, visually impaired people read by feeling their way over raised letters which was a very slow and laborious process.

Swim flippers BENJAMIN FRANKLIN is one of the most prolific people in history.

At the age of 12, a year after he stopped going to school, Benjamin Franklin made the invention which was originally made for the hands instead of the feet. Television Many historians credit JOHN LOGIE BAIRD (1888-1946) with being the first to produce a live, moving, greyscale of images from reflected light. He wanted to be a soldier in the First World War but his poor health forced him into long hours in his workshop instead. His degree course was interrupted by the war and he never returned to graduate.
