INVENTIONS

We will soon be talking about the inventions of Leonardo DaVinci. Take some time to check out these inventions and answer some easy questions in this blog today.
You will have to highlight the link, copy it, and paste it in the address bar to get to the pages... since I didn't have time to create actual links... Ask a fellow student who seems to have figured this out if you are having difficulties!

-the questions are at the bottom-

-so are directions for POSTING comments-
