Background Information
Technology – anything invented by humans to solve a problem. Technology is the application of processes, methods, or knowledge to achieve a specific purpose. Scientists and
engineers develop technology with positive outcomes in mind such as increasing production and improving communication. Products of technology including computers,
telephones, radios, and scientific equipment affect human conditions. Many believe the influences are positive, but some consider the negative ramifications of technology. For
example, citizens differ in their viewpoints of nuclear energy. Does it provide safe fuel, or do the risks of disaster override its potential?
Invention – a new device, process, or item, something new that a person makes or thinks of to solve a problem
Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Born in Scotland, Bell sought a greater understanding of deafness by studying sound and the
mechanics of speech. He was influenced by his father who invented visible speech, a code of symbols used to teach deaf people to speak. The younger Bell moved to Boston,
Massachusetts, to work at the Boston School for the Deaf in 1871, but he quickly opened his own school. By 1873, he was teaching vocal physiology at Boston University. Bell
understood the concept of the telephone by 1874, but was not successful in transmitting a voice message until March 10, 1876, three days after the patent for his invention was
issued. He and partners formed Bell Telephone Company in 1877. He helped develop Science, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He
assisted in founding the National Geographic Society and supported experiments in aviation.

Most first grade students have always had
telephones in their lives. Many have only experienced
mobile phones, cell phones, or cordless phones. It is
important for students to understand that telephones
have changed and have greatly impacted our lives.
This concept will be more fully explored in Unit 12.
EXPLORE – What If? scenarios Suggested Day 2 (continued) – 10 minutes
1. Continue the discussion by asking these or similar questions about technology:

Has technology changed the way we work? Tasks that took a great deal of time
in the past can be accomplished more easily and more quickly because of
technology.
Has technology made our work easier? If so, how is it easier? It has made
work easier because we are able to communicate; we can get answers from other
people more quickly
