TECHNOLOGY EVOLUTION

Skills: observe, develop a hypothesis, realize the project, verify and transfer.
Area: information and communication technologies.
Starting point: conceiving and creating an object with a particular performance.

OBSERVATION

While playing hide and seek with your grandparents in the attic, you just discovered an
old chest containing strange images. They seem very old and represent mysterious
objects. In order to keep your grandparents in the loop, you will prepare a little
presentation to explain the evolution of the different objects that you recognize in the
pictures.

1. In groups of ………., identify what each image represents.

DEVELOPMENT OF A HYPOTHESIS

2. With the information collected in the classroom and at home, place on the timeline the
technological improvements in a chronological order as they appeared (do not glue
images before the correction).
REALIZATION

Still in groups of ………. :

1. Pick a subject among the various technological improvements found in the chest.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Prepare your presentation.

Be careful :

- The presentation must trace the evolution of the technology represented in the picture
up to this day.
- The presentation must last between 5 to 6 min.
- It must be illustrated (your choice).
- All the members of the group must talk (equally).

VERIFICATION

Is the presentation talking about all aspects of the technology?

Check that you respect the timing, the choice of the illustration and check if each member
is speaking equally.

TRANSFER

Class discussion about the use of technologies and smartphones.
