Age 7 · History
Open to everyone until Thursday, October 29
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Long ago, people scrubbed clothes by hand on a bumpy board in a tub of water. Later came electric washers with rollers to squeeze out water, and today a machine does almost all the work by itself.
Examples
- Your great-great-grandparents may have scrubbed clothes on a washboard.
- Today you can put dirty clothes in a machine and press a button.
Key takeaways
- Washing clothes used to take a whole day of hard work.
- New machines made washing faster and easier.
