Slide 3: 

My favorite school subject is science. I also like math. Jake 2 + 2 = 4

Key Terms 1: 

Key Terms 1 Technology - the practical use of knowledge to extend human abilities and to satisfy human needs and wants. System - an organized way of achieving a goal.

Key Terms 2: 

Key Terms 2 Input, process, output, feedback- the parts of a system. Input is what is put into a system. Process is the action part of a system. Output is the result of a system process. Feedback tells whether or not the system is on track. Communication Technology- the processes used to exchange information .

Key Terms 3: 

Key Terms 3 Engineering- designing products or structures so that they are sound and deciding how they should be made and what materials should be used. Prototype- a working model.

Slide 7: 

Intro - The Name Game was were are class got to meet the other people in our room. System - Half the class would sit while the other half would rotate. Benefits - People got to me each other. Problem - the people sitting did not get to meet the other people sitting and the people standing did not meet the other people standing. Modify -The people sitting were on one side of the room and the people standing were on the other side and they starting interviewing only the people on there side of the room. So everyone got to meet everyone. Name Game

Slide 9: 

The Marshmallow Challenge The Marshmallow Challenge was where we hand 18 minutes to build the tallest free standing structure with 20 sticks of spaghetti, a string, a yard of tape, and we had to balance a marshmallow on top. We came up with the idea of breaking the spaghetti to hold up the non-broken spaghetti and taping it together.

Inventors Project 1- Henry Ford 2- Thomas Edison 3- Alexander Graham Bell 4- Louis Pasteur

Slide 11: 

Birth- July 30 1863 Death- April 7 1974 Henry Ford Henry Ford spent his childhood on his family's farm, located just outside of Detroit, MI. From an early age, Henry loved to take things apart and put them back together again just to see how they worked. At age 17, Henry Ford left the farm and headed to Detroit to become an apprentice. Henry married in 1888 to Clara Bryant. 1893 Edsel Bryant Ford, only child of Henry and Clara Ford, born.

Slide 12: 

Henry Ford Cont. Henry Ford founded the Ford Motor Company and starts mass producing the famous Model T Henry’s most important contribution was the invention of the moving assembly line. In 1910 Begins operations at factory in Highland Park, Michigan. In 1913 Introduces first moving automobile assembly line at Highland Park manufacturing facility. In 1921 Ford Motor Company dominates auto production with 55 percent of industry's total output. In 1919 Edsel B .Ford, son of Henry Ford, is named president of Ford Motor Company

Slide 13: 

Thomas Edison Born- February 11, Died-1847 October 18, 1931 Edison was the seventh and last child of Samuel and Nancy Edison. He was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by his mother, but was always a very curious child and taught himself much by reading on his own. When Edison was seven his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan. Edison lived here until he struck out on his own at the age of sixteen. The first great invention developed by Edison in Menlo Park was the tin foil phonograph. Thomas Edison also invented the kinectoscope.

Slide 14: 

Thomas Edison's greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't "invent" the light bulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. One of Edison's first motion picture, using the kinectoscope and the first motion picture ever copyrighted showed his employee Fred Ott pretending to sneeze. Not everything Thomas Edison created was a success - he also had a few failures. While working to improve the efficiency of a telegraph transmitter, he noted that the tape of the machine gave off a noise resembling spoken words when played at a high speed. Edison toured the country with the tin foil phonograph, and was invited to the White House to demonstrate it to President Rutherford B. Hayes in April 1878. Thomas Edison Cont.

Slide 15: 

Alexander Graham Bell Born- March 3, 1847 Died-August 2, 1922 Scottish-born American audiologist best known as the inventor of the telephone Was the second of the three sons of Alexander Melville Bell and Eliza Grace Symonds Bell. Bell was largely family trained and self-taught. In 1872 he opened his own school in Boston for training teachers of the deaf. In 1873 he became professor of vocal physiology at Boston University.

Slide 16: 

Alexander Graham Bell Cont. Studied at the University of Edinburgh and University College, London, England. Both of Bell's brothers had died of tuberculosis While working on a multiple telegraph, he developed the basic ideas for the telephone . In 1885 formed American Telephone and Telegraph Company to operate the long distance network. In 1896 elected first President of National Geographic Society In 1917 developed "hydrodome," at (70 mph) the fastest boat in the world for many years

Slide 17: 

Louis Pasteur He solved the mysteries of rabies, anthrax, chicken cholera, and silkworm diseases, and contributed to the development of the first vaccines. He debunked the widely accepted myth of spontaneous generation, thereby setting the stage for modern biology and biochemistry. He described the scientific basis for fermentation, wine-making, and the brewing of beer. Pasteur's work gave birth to many branches of science, and he was singlehandedly responsible for some of the most important theoretical concepts and practical applications of modern science. He is revered for possessing the most important qualities of a scientist: the ability to survey all the known data and link the data for all possible hypotheses, the patience and drive to conduct experiments under strictly controlled conditions, and the brilliance to uncover the road to the solution from the results. Died , September 28, 1895 Born on December 27, 1822

Slide 18: 

Louis Pasteur Cont. Louis Pasteur was an average student in his early years, but he was gifted in drawing and painting. After attending primary school in Arbois, where his family had moved, and secondary school in nearby Besançon, he earned his bachelor of arts degree (1840) and bachelor of science degree (1842) at the Royal College of Besançon. His studies convinced him that asymmetry was one of the fundamental characteristics of living matter . In 1854 Pasteur was appointed professor of chemistry and dean of the science faculty at the University of Lille. Pasteur was the first to recognize variability in virulence. Today this concept remains relevant to the study of infectious disease,
