Objectives:
- Identify how technology and science relate to one another.
- Identify new prototypes and inventions for 2014
- Identify how inventions show innovation through informative texts
Technology and Science are dependent on each other for their existence. If it wasn't for the science behind LCD screens, the electromagnetic spectrum (microwaves), sound science, and many other fields within science, cellphones / smartphones would never exist. Today your task is to research new inventions for the year 2014! Make sure to fill out the main form in Schoology.
