             In the chapter ‘I Create Life’, Victor Frankenstein, a scientist,
             attempts to impart life to non-living things. What is your
             opinion about such an invention? Do you find it useful
             or threatening?
             Now, in groups of five, think of one invention that changed
             the course of humankind forever and still continues to help
             us in our day-to-day lives. Make a PowerPoint presentation
             as a group and choose a representative to present it before
             the class. Remember to cover the following points:
             •  What was the invention?

             •  Who invented it and when?
             •  What led to the invention? (historical contribution of other
                 people towards the invention)
             •  How did it impact the lives of the people living at that time?
             •  How is the invention used in modern times?

             •  What are the other scientific discoveries that were
                 possible due to this invention?
