• Read the texts. The Ice Cream Cone Ernest Hamwi was a waffle maker who lived in Saint-Louis, in the United States. In 1904, he was working next to an ice cream seller who ran out of cups to serve his desserts. When Ernest saw this, he rolled a waffle into a cone shape and put a scoop of ice cream on top of it. The first ice cream cone was invented!

GLOSSARY seller: a person who sells things ran out: had no more; used up

Unit 3

Moulding Paste In 1944, James Wright wanted to replace rubber in his products because rubber was too expensive. He mixed some ingredients but the result of his experiment was a soft, elastic paste that bounced. James Wright thought he had failed. Six years later, Peter Hodgson played with the paste and discovered that it was both safe and fun. He decided to make a toy with it and called it “Silly Putty.” This moulding paste became one of the most popular toys in the world!

GLOSSARY freeze: to become solid because of the cold temperature nickname: humourous name; not a real name

The Slinky® The Slinky® was invented by mistake by Richard James in 1943. James wanted to fix a machine on a ship when a spring suddenly fell to the floor. He liked the way the spring flip-flopped. When he went home he experimented making springs using long, thin wire. He decided to make a simple and fun toy with it. His wife Betty called it a “slinky.” One day, he went to a toy store and presented his invention. Children and adults loved it and the Slinky® became a favourite toy for millions.

GLOSSARY rubber: a soft, elastic material used to make tires, erasers, shoes, etc. bounce: to jump up and down

The Popsicle Frank Epperson invented the popsicle in 1905 when he was only 11 years old. One night, Epperson forgot a drink with a stick in it outside. The temperature was colder than usual and the drink froze. The next morning, Frank found his frozen drink on the porch. He lifted it out of the glass by the stick and tasted it. It was delicious. When he grew up, he started to sell his treats in different flavours and beautiful colours. His children called them popsicles because of his nickname, “Pop.”

GLOSSARY ship: a big boat flip-flop: to move back and forth

4 Giving instructions THE IMPERATIVE We use the imperative to give instructions or warnings. When using the imperative, we use the verb without a subject. Observe what happens. Build a simple machine. Be careful! In the negative, we add don’t or do not before the verb. Don’t touch the moving parts. Do not forget to turn it on.

5 Rube Goldberg machines A About Rube Goldberg • Listen to the story and read along. RUBE GOLDBERG (1883-1970) wrote for a newspaper. In his spare time, he liked to draw cartoons. He showed them to the editor of the newspaper until they were finally published. In his cartoons, Goldberg liked to invent extremely complex machines to do very simple things. Here is a typical Rube Goldberg invention: the self-operating napkin. Its function is to clean your face while you eat! His inventions use everyday objects to do simple tasks. They are silly because they are more complex than they need to be.

Every year, students around the world create their own inventions inspired by Rube Goldberg. There is even a competition called the Rube Goldberg Machine Contest where students try to build silly machines.

GLOSSARY cartoon: funny drawing typical: a common thing or activity inspire: to motivate someone to do something positive

CONNECTING WORDS We use connecting words to express the order of events or to give instructions. 1

First

Then

After that

Finally

For instructions that are more than 5 steps, we repeat the connecting words from steps 2, 3 and 4 in that order. How to operate a remote control car 1.
