Essential Questions for Research

• Why did this innovation happen at this particular time and in this particular place?

• In what ways was the innovation new?

• What need in society did the innovation fill and what changes occurred to society because of the innovation?

• What benefits did the innovation provide, and to whom?

• How did people react initially, in the short term (within a few years), and over
the longer term (in later years), to the new idea, arrangement, organization,
or technology?

• How did it change people’s ideas, scientific knowledge, everyday behavior, political
processes, etc.?
