Have you ever wondered where the idea for the pencil came from? The pencil's history is said to date back to 1564. Legend has it that trees in the British Isles were uprooted by a hurricane. Under one such tree, in Borrowdale, England, a farmer found a strange black substance. The farmer discovered that this substance would not wash off. He and other farmers began using the substance to mark their sheep. The substance they were using was called graphite, and mixed with clay, it is what's inside of the wooden casings of the pencils we use today. Did you ever wonder what the different numbers on pencils meant? Pencils are identified by the numbers 1, 2, and 3. A number 1 pencil is soft and makes a very dark mark without applying much pressure. Teachers often request that students use a number 2 pencil. These pencils are more medium-soft. A number 3 pencil is very hard, but not as dark. It's good for tracing. Whether we are using a 1, 2, or a 3, it is difficult to imagine life without pencils.
