Finding a Sequence

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the first task in your Breakout EDU game. Your next challenge will take teamwork and organizational skills. Follow the directions below to find the code which will unlock one lock!

The Industrial Revolution was a time of great invention and creativity for America. Review the primary source documents of early invention ideas and patents. In the box, you will find one copy of the Inventions of the Industrial Revolution Graphic Organizer. This will greatly assist your group in organizing the inventions in chronological order. Do not lose this paper. You must give it to Ms. Severage completed in order to receive a hint.

Helpful Hints for this Puzzle:

  1. You will not be able to sequence the inventions until you have reviewed them all and recorded them on the graphic organizer.
  2. Make sure to review all pictures associated with the invention, you will need to place them all correctly.

Good Luck!  Remember to work as a team!
