This unit is called inventions & inventors. We have a unit question to answer. The question is that ‘How do inventors come up with ideas and create their inventions?’
For this unit everyone in grade 9 chose their inventions and I chose penicillin. I chose it because I have heard a lot of information about it. Also, my mother was a nurse, so she could help me while I research it. At the end of the lesson everyone should present their research. I decided to present with essay, but it would be changed while I research about my invention.
Penicillin is the most well known antibiotic. Also, it is the first antibiotic. Lots of people tried to invent antibiotic. Some of them figure out that some fungi kill the bacteria, but he wasn’t supported well and couldn’t keep the experiment. In 1929, Alexander Fleming an English medical researchers accidentally realized that blue-green mild killed all the bacteria. It was the first penicillin, but this was not used for many people. During World War 2 there were lots of injured people who need medicine. So penicillin was being produced in large quantities.
