Curiosity is like a magic key. It can open the door to new ideas and cool inventions. Many great things were invented just because someone was curious.
Let’s take the microwave as an example. A scientist named Percy Spencer was working with a machine. He found that a piece of candy in his pocket melted. He wondered why this happened. After thinking a lot and trying many times,he found out it was the waves(波)from the machine. Then,he used this idea to make the microwave. Now we can heat food fast and easily.
Another great invention is the phone. Alexander Graham Bell was curious about sound. He wanted to know if sound could travel through wires. He worked really hard and did lots of tests. At last,his curiosity made him invent the phone. Now we can talk to people far away.
These stories tell us that curiosity can bring great inventions. If you are curious about something,don’t be afraid to ask questions and try new things. Maybe one day,you will invent something amazing too!
