Ancient China StoryBy Gio Tomita

Ancient Gunpowder

In Ancient China the Chinese used gunpowder for fireworks and guns. The Chinese definition for gunpowder was

Flaming Medicine. Fireworks get lit up the fly in the air and explode making a loud bang. Some times the Chinese use

fireworks for missiles.

Modern Gunpowder

Although we still use gunpowder for fireworks and bullets. Now they are a gold color. Our guns now are bigger and

stronger. There are new guns called snipers. If we didn’t have gunpowder we would have a disaster.

Ancient Ship Rudder

This is a ship rudder. Ancient China use this for turning boats. On the boat whey have a handle in the boat that

they can turn. The rudder was mostly wooden ad was one the back of the boat. If they put the rudder on the front

they that would be a problem.

Modern Ship Rudder

This is a modern ship rudder. Now our ship rudder has propellers on the rudder or behind the rudder. Propellers are

item that spin and makes the ship faster. If we didn’t have their rudder how would we turn boats.

Ancient Deep Drilling

This is a deep drilling. The Chinese use this to dig deep. People use this to make underground tunnels. Some

people use this to make tunnels for underground levels. People sometimes make holes for defence.

Modern Deep Drill

The Modern deep drill can dig deeper that the ancient deep drill. People use this for keeping safe from hurricanes and to

make parking lots. With no deep drilling there would be no underground parking lots and shopping malls.

Persuasive Paragraph

I think the most important invention is gunpowder. Although it is dangerous it stops disasters from happening. It helps us to celebrate too. Some people copied the bullets of guns and made other bullets not powered by gunpowder like the paint ball gun.
