Holly,
Here are some major discoveries during the 20th century.
1. The electron microscope which allows scientists to understand disease causing microbes.
2. The discovery of the double helix which allowed scientists to understand how DNA passes from parents to children.
3. The transistor and the printed circuit. Before these inventions, the computer you are using would have been the size of your house-literally.
4, The discovery of insulin. Prior to this discovery, a diagnosis of diabetes was a death sentence.
5. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This has allowed doctors to see diseases and injuries in the body without having to do surgery.
Google on any one of these, and you’ll find the person most responsible for the discovery or invention and how it has effected society.
