This is technology used in war today. However, this kind of technology hasn't always been around. From
the bow and arrow to the musket to the tanks and bombs that are used today, technology and weaponry
have advanced and improved throughout history.

Student-focused Activities
What activities will your student do during this lesson or project?
1) Display starter video(s) for the students to view.
2) Students get into groups of 3, then discuss what they may already know about weapons and technology
from different eras of war.
3) Students regroup as a class. Have a class-wide discussion about the information that the students
discussed in their groups.
4) Students will open the virtual field trip page and explore it for approximately 5 minutes.
5) Students then go back to their 3-person groups. Groups begin researching about the weapons and
technology throughout history.
6) After research, each group will choose at least 3 eras or time periods of war. They are to think about the
different technology available throughout those time periods, how it impacted decision-making, and how it
changed potential battle strategies of that era.
7) Groups will then create a presentation using Prezi to group together their findings. Minimum 6 slides, 2
slides per time period discussing the weapons and tech available and their impact on the warfare of the
era. At least one picture is required per time period.
8) Prezi's will then be presented to the class. When presenting, the students should go into detail and
clearly explain the tech and purpose of what was available in that era.
9) Prezi's should then be turned in digitally to the class inbox.
