NOTES
Henry Ford invented the automobile. The first video game was created in a science research lab. A melted candy bar inspired the invention of microwave ovens. You may have heard these beliefs before. But are they really true? Can they be proven through research? Let's investigate seventeen statements about inventions and find out which ones are right, which ones are wrong, and which ones still stump the experts! Find out whether Alexander Graham Bell was really the inventor of the telephone! Learn if the U.S. government really created the Internet! See if you can tell the difference between fact and fiction with Is That a Fact?
