The story featured the 45 indispensable Israeli innovations highlighted in a special exhibit last year at the Bloomfield Science Museum in Jerusalem. The ever-churning Israeli mind has brought us drip irrigation, the electric car grid, the Disk-on-Key, the PillCam, the solar window, a burglar-proof door and much more.
By coincidence, there are exactly 45 fourth-graders.
“I had my students look at your article and make a graphic organizer to display at the event,” Miller wrote. “We’ve talked about Israeli inventions in the past when we did this unit, and after reading about the exhibit I thought it would be great to do a separate display this time.”

Robin Wexler, associate principal of general studies in the Moriah Lower School, added, “I felt that introducing the students to Israeli inventors and inventions helped to broaden their understanding of the invention process and build upon their tremendous respect and appreciation for our Israeli ‘brothers and sisters.’”
Miller receives ISRAEL21c’s weekly newsletter for her own edification. “For teaching, I’d definitely want to use it more,” she says.
