6th Grade Science Class

In class today, students were able to look up a person from history who invented technology that made people's lives better and explained what that person achieved and how it helped others. We also read about what drives technological development? The students then watched a movie on inventions by Bill Nye. Tomorrow we will continue reading about innovation and the effects of advancing technology out of the Focus On State Standards: Understanding Technology Packet. The students will also have a homework assignment on Communication Through The Ages Wkst. that will be due on Wednesday. On Wednesday we will get out of the Focus On State Standards: Understanding Technology Packet and start a power point project on inventor's backgrounds, their invention, how does in compare to other technology in that field, how did it make society better, and how can that invention be improved or what its faults. We will work on this power point for the rest of the week with either presentations being Friday or Tuesday in front of the class depending how long it takes the students to complete the project. The students will have a homework assignment on Wednesday dealing with the impact cellphone has had positively and negatively on society that will be due on Thursday.
