Think about all the innovations you've learned about in this lesson. It is time to start thinking like a cultural historian. Imagine that you are preparing a time capsule of items that represent scientific achievements from the 20th century. The people who dig up your time capsule will be unfamiliar with the importance of these innovations because they are living in a world made possible by innovations developed well after you. Your job is to prepare an explanation of 20th century science and innovation for the time capsule.

Step 1: Choose five advances in 20th century science that you think are the most important.

1. Airplanes,2. The automobile,3. Nuclear power,4. Antibiotics,5. The Internet.

Step 2: Select pictures of objects that are symbolic of the advancements that you selected.

Step 3: Rank them in order from most important to least important. Justify why you placed them in the order that you have chosen in three to four sentences.

step 4: Create a digital time capsule. There are many 21st century tools available for creating products in an online environment. Use the Web 2.0 tool of your choice to create a digital time capsule explaining why your chosen advances were the most important. Be sure to explain who was responsible for these advances and how they affected 20th century life. To learn more about Web 2.0 tools and for help locating a tool, visit the Web 2.0 tools area.

Your time capsule must:

have one slide for each example that includes a two to three sentence explanation of why the advancement was important

have one image on each of the five example slides that represents the impact of the advancement

have one final slide that includes a one paragraph justification of the order in which you placed your images.

help me please!

I gotchuuu :)

Explanation:

It’s difficult to imagine our world today without computers. Of course, they have been around since World War Two, but they were clunky, massively expensive things that had all the calculating power of a brick. When Steve Wozniak and Stephen Jobs introduced the Apple in 1976, however, it changed everything and the rest is, as they say, history. Today, of course, they are everywhere and we have become so dependent upon them that many people almost feel naked without one. For some, they even provide the very means of maintaining a livelihood: we use them to keep track of our finances, write books, design logos and sell real estate. Plus, they are rapidly replacing the stereo and television in their ability to entertain us with music, movies, and games. Makes it hard to understand how our ancestors did so well without them, doesn’t it?

Step 2: Select pictures of objects that are symbolic of the advance that you selected. For each picture, include a two to three sentence description that clearly explains who was responsible for the advance and how the advance affected 20th century life.

Step 3: Rank your chosen advances in order from most important to least important. Justify why you placed them in the order that you have chosen in a paragraph of four to five sentences.

Auto Mobiles, Computers, Cell phone. I put the auto mobile first because they allow us to get places faster, they help people get to their jobs, grocery store, doctors office, and many more. I put computers second because they have many purposes. They can help with homework, finding addresses and phone numbers, and they have a lot of information that is help full to us. I put cell phones last because I think that it isn't as important as the first two. They are still one of the most important advances in my opinion. They can help by getting in touch with people, many functions like a calculator, and many more.

It also brought about a revolution in the market place, suddenly making it possible to truck in goods that otherwise would be impossible to acquire.Most of all, Henry Ford’s assembly-line production style made the automobile affordable and accessible to the average person (before Ford’s Model T was introduced in 1908, only the fabulously wealthy could afford a car). The automobile gave everyone a degree of mobility and personal freedom our forefathers could only dream of, and turned entire generations of teenagers into raging revheads.

Step 1: Choose three to five advances in 20th century science that you think are the most important.

Medicine

Until Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, almost any little bug that someone picked up was possibly fatal. Once penicillin, and later a whole range of other antibiotics , came on the scene, however, death due to bacterial infection became rare, resulting in a greatly reduced mortality rate and much longer life-span.It also rendered many scourges of the past, from small pox and typhoid to gonorrhea and syphilis, obsolete or, at least in the case of venereal disease, something easily treatable.
