I thought it would be fun for students to see when some well known toys were invented. I thought this would be a topic that would spark interest in using an iSense timeline.

I got data from Fact Monster  https://www.factmonster.com/cool-stuff/entertainment/20th-century-toys-and-games-timeline  &  https://www.cheatsheet.com/business/7-classic-toys-with-accidental-beginnings.html/?a=viewall  &  https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/History_of_Pok%C3%A9mone

I formatted the timestamp as YYYY/MM/DD to be certain it worked. I used the first day of each year - as I only knew the year the toys were invented. 

Guiding Questions~

1. What were the first and last toys invented on the timeline and what were the years they were invented.

2. What decade had the most toys invented on this timeline?

3. Were you surprised by the dates of when some toys were invented? Which ones and why?
