Engage your students in studying the technologies of the past, present, and future!

Since the beginning of humanity, people have been inventing technologies to help them solve problems and satisfy needs. From the stone tools of the prehistoric era, to the mobile phones and the Internet of today, many technologies have impacted our lives dramatically. For this assignment, students choose a technology to study and create a project to showcase their learning.

This resource guides students through conducting their own research report on a technology (90+ topics are listed). After choosing a topic to focus on, students are asked to conduct research using the Internet and books while following criteria. Next, students are asked to share their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, power point presentation, or dodecahedron (Instructions and Pentagon Template included). Artwork may also be created to further display learning. Finally, students present their work to the class.

Can be done in partners. Printable Evaluation forms included!

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.
