Students glue a photocopy of the technology or summarize the science process on a color-coded index card. Students write the final vignette in docudrama style, with a total presentation time of no more than 5 minutes. Session 3 Students present the first three parts of the vignette in docudrama style. Conclude by telling the rest of the story including items 5 and 6. Class discussion follows in order to provide an overview of the topic.
Students tape their index cards to the appropriate space on the timeline.
Write a science fiction short story predicting future biofilm technology. Illustrate or write about important world historical events that were occurring when one of the timeline technologies was developed. Encourage students to discuss how these events influenced the development of this technology. Write a news release or present an oral announcement that would be aimed at citizens who lived at that time in history and would discuss the new technology and its predicted benefits. The timeline may be used as an assessment tool.
