Inventions in Energy

This quiz turns energy history into 10 matching questions, where you pair an invention with the year it happened. You will place milestones like Michael Faraday invents an electric motor or James Watt patents an improved steam engine on a timeline. It suits students who enjoy the story behind the science. Here is the part that catches people off guard: one of the first electric vehicles was built back in 1839, long before gasoline cars, and the photovoltaic effect behind solar panels was discovered that same year. Recommended level: intermediate, since the dates take some careful thinking.
