Discussion


What things did you see on the video that were not on
your list?
Were there things they discussed in the video that you
never thought of as “technology”? Explain.
Activity #1
Part I (20 min)
Scenario: You signed up for the latest reality television show where you are brought to an
unpopulated area to live for one year. A small house will be built for you to stay in for the
year, and you have a choice in some of the design. You have a list of common household
items that can go in your house, but you can ONLY select three. The items are a
refrigerator, an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, a washing machine, an air conditioner, a
television, and an indoor toilet. Which items would you pick and why?
Before you pick, consider these things about your location:
- It is very hot and humid all year round
- You are alone without access to other people
- There is a portable toilet already set up a half-mile from the house
- Clothes, sheets, dishes, and food will be supplied
IN NOTEBOOKS, Write down the items you would choose and explain your reasons. Pick a
representative from your group to share your decisions with the class.
Activity #2
Part II (25 min)
Now refer to your list from the Bell ringer again. Work with your table groups and
use the classroom computers to find out when these items were invented. You
may chose to make a “better” list after watching the video clip. Create a
timeline using these dates.
Timeline should include the following:
- Picture and date in correct order.
- Highlight in Yellow the items that have been invented since you were born.
- Highlight in Blue the items that were around when your parents or grandparents
were young.
Activity #3
Part III (15)
Now design YOUR OWN APPLICANCE of the
FUTURE! It should do at least 3 tasks. Sketch a
picture on the end (or back) of your timeline and
label what it does.
TURN IN POSTER BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY!

near the living area
