This week we will look at some accidental inventions throughout history, and how they changed the world!! Did you know...... Penicillin: Inventor: Sir Alexander Fleming, a scientist. What he was trying to make: Ironically, Fleming was searching for a wonder drug that could cure diseases. However, it wasnt until Fleming threw away his experiments that he found what he was looking for. How it was created: One day in 1928, Fleming noticed that a contaminated Petri dish he had discarded contained a mold that was dissolving all the bacteria around it. When he grew the mold by itself, he learned that it contained a powerful antibiotic -- penicillin -- used to treat ailments ranging from syphilis to tonsillitis. Thanks to penicillin and other antibiotics, the rate of death due to infectious disease is now one-twentieth of what it was back in 1900.
