COLORS

by John


   The trafick light was invented in 1993 because cars are not takeing turns when to go and getting
car accedents. The first gas lit traffic light was installed in 1868 in london. They picked the colors
red green and orange cause there is a color code. In the typical sequence of color phases. The green
light allows the traffic to proceed in the derection denoted. The yellow light provides warning that
the signal will be changing from green to red. The red signal prohibits any traffic from proceeding.
They picked tho's colors because the red is usally means bad and green means good and yellow
means kinda bad.

The Traffic Light

by Julissa


     Traffic lights, also known as traffic signals, traffic lamps, signal lights, stop lights and robots.
J.P Knight is the person who invented the traffic lights. Maybe because the railroad industry chose
red as the color for stop, it is thought, because red has for centuries been used to indicate danger.
For the other colors, they chose white as the color for go and green as the color for caution. The
choice of a white light for go turned out to cause a lot of problems. For instance, an incident in
1914 where a red lens fell out of its holder leaving the white light behind it exposed. This ended
with a train running a “stop” signal and crashing into another train. Thus, the railroad decided to
change it so the green light meant go and a caution “yellow” was chosen, primarily because the
color is so distinct from the other two colors used. I got this information from:

scheme­for­traffic­lights/
J.P picked those colors because of that accident. Red means stop, green means go and yellow
means slow down.

Traffic Light

     The traffic light was invented by John Peak Knight. I think that he
chose the colors red, green, and orange because red might mean that you
could crash because red is the color of blood and its dangerous to cross
the red light. I think he chose green because green looks more of a good
color like it could mean that you path is clear from other cars crossing.
Orange is more like a watch out sign to slow down. I think that he chose those
colors maybe because they were his favorite. I also think that if he picked other colors I think they
wouldn't go good because other colors are like more artistic colors. If I got a chance to pick
color's I think I would also pick those colors because like I said green is more like a your good
sign. Red is more of a danger color and orange is like a slow down its turning red and the other
cars are coming. I think he mad a good choice of picking those colors.

No Title Given

by Luke Sullivan


On this day in 1923, the traffic light was patented. The traffic light was
patented by Garrett Augustus Morgan but it was invented by J. P. Knight.
I am going to tell you why I think the colors red, yellow, green were
invented. I think red means stop because it is an evil/bad color. I think
yellow means caution because it is not a good or bad color. I think green
means go because it is a good/nice color. The reason could have also been because they were his
favorite colors. His family could of also could have gave him ideas and he picked random colors.
There could have also been some code for it or law. He could have also been some reason for it
like a game as a child. He could have also really wanted those colors to mean stop, cation, and go.
The final reason is maybe his friend wanted those colors so he did it for his friend. That is why I
think the colors of the stop light are red, yellow, and green.

National Candy Day

by Daisy S.


If I could invent a new gum it would be called Lunch in a Gum or (L I A G). The L I A G would
have Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert. For breakfast you would have bacon, pancakes, and
sausage. For lunch you would have Chicken legs. For dinner there will be roast beef. Last, for
desert blue berry pie.
The L I A G would look purple or blue. The package is labeled food. For food it will tell you what
kind of food it has. But the gum doesn't just have bacon pancakes, sausage, chicken legs, roast beef, or
blue berry pie. The L I A G would have all types of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and deserts. My candy would
be the first gum to have food in it.

If I could invent a new kind of candy, it would be...

by Rayanne


If I could invent a new kind of candy, it would taste like caramel and coffee. The
ingredients would be made of coffee­flavored caramel. It would be shaped like a small
mug with bubbles on top. I would call the candy choffee, because of the flavors. The
wrapper would be red on one side, with the colors gradually turning yellow. The writing would be
in black. There wouldn't be a lot of design on the paper, just the name of the candy. Some of the
ingredients would be: sugar corn syrup, modified corn syrup, etc.. I would have the wrapper be
simple, but with bright colors so that it catches people's eyes. Since bright colors attract more
people, I would make the wrapper and the packages that the candies are sold in very colorful. That
is how I would make my candy.
