What are the three most important IB LEARNER PROFILES for being an INVENTOR? Explain:
1. I think is thicker are important. Because they need to think about a lot of things to solving question or problem

2. Open minded also are important. ​If you describe someone as ​open-minded​, you approve of them because they are willing to listen
to and consider other people's ideas and suggestions.
3. Caring. Help other people and most care about other people. A caring person is affectionate, helpful, and sympathetic.

How will learning to TINKER and INVENT help you understand SYSTEMS better?
● If I’m an inventor I need to learn about systems so that I can understand systems better.

● Tinker is samely, I need to fix something then I need to know about systems, finally, I can fix the things.

THE STEAM ENGINE

Features:
● It is a machine.

● The steam engine needs a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam.

● Its operation is not affected by geographical location and weather conditions

● Nuclear power generation and thermal power generation still use steam turbine engines to
convert thermal energy into electrical energy.

● Wood, coal, oil or natural gas or even garbage can be used as a heat source

History and Uses of the Steam Engine:

●

 THE INDUSTRIAL FACTORY
Features:
● Have workshop

● Electric Room

● Water supply room

● Industrial plants can be divided into single-story industrial buildings and multi-story
industrial buildings according to their architectural structure.

● Most of the multi-story industrial buildings are found in light industry, electronics,
instrumentation, communications, and pharmaceutical industries.

THE RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE

Features:
● Domino effect

● A ​Rube Goldberg machine​ is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an

indirect and overcomplicated fashion.

● Often, these machines consist of a series of simple devices that are linked together to
produce a domino effect, in which each device triggers the next one, and the original goal is
achieved only after many steps.

Uses of the Rube Goldberg Machine:
