Developments in Science and Technology

I set up 5 stations, each with a different short reading about how science and technology developed during the war. Students were given 8 minutes to complete the reading and to add to a graphic organizer that I provided. After visiting all the stations, the students had to fill in a chart in which they ranked what they thought were the 3 most important developments. It is a good activity to use because it fits nicely into 1 period, the kids get to move around and there is opportunity for teams to talk about what should be included in their charts/organizers. The readings came from the new 2p text from McGraw-Hill. That text is fantastic; have a look at it if you have the chance.
