Technology evolves in a very short time. What becomes sophisticated now might be so out-dated just in 5-10 years later. So does technology that was on-trend a couple of years ago, like analog camera, wired telephone, or coal iron as shown in the pictures above. As the provocation for UOI 2, students in Grade 5 did CSQ (Claim; Support; Question) activity. They observed the objects presented on the table. Then, they discussed with their friends to propose claims about it. They wrote what the function was, when it was used, which civilization that invented it, etc. They also put the arguments to support their claims. After that, they wrote some questions that they had related to the object.
This activity functions to trigger them finding the connection between technology in the past and the present-days. In the discussion session after the activity, they noticed that those objects have evolved into more sophisticated forms nowadays. Wired telephone, for example, has been a rare thing because people prefer to use smart phones. Some students even shared their prediction that in the future, we might not need a solid object to communicate because it has been planted in our body. "We will just see our palm for video-chat and other communication, like the screen in our smart phone!" said one of them.
