Have the students categorize the products the would like to create into the Families of Technology. Stress the fact that simpler technologies were combined to create new and more complex technologies as people's wants and needs became more complex. Read through the activity with the students. Ask probing questions to be sure the students understand what they must do. During each activity, act as a facilitator and encourage team effort.
Simple technologies develop into more complex technologies.
Describe another activity they could do that would build upon the information they learned through doing the activity.
