After Your Biography Work
You need to explain how the invention or discovery of the person you researched changed the world. Explain how it impacted the people during the time when it was invented or discovered. Think about using words such as impacted the world, how your invention affected society, people's first impression of the invention or discovery or how the invention or discovery helped change the world. These might be good key words to put online to help you find out more information. Do it on a new slide if you are doing Google slides or on Google docs or on your poster.
