This is assignment will count is both your daily notes grade and a unit project grade, so it is important to do your very best work.
You will also use this vocabulary once finished to make flash cards which you will study for quizzes.

3. Lesson 1:What is the Design Process? Pgs.65-77
Engineering
Technology
Prototype
Criteria

4. Engineering Pg.67
Engineers are problem solvers. They invent or improve products that help us meet our needs. Engineers use their knowledge of science and mathematics to find solutions to everyday problems.

5. Technology Pg.68
Is any device that people use to meet their needs and solve practical problems. Technology plays an important role in improving our lives. Tools and machines make our work easier or faster. Medicines help us restore our health and live longer. Satellites help us predict weather and communicate.

6. Prototype Pg.70 Is a working model.

7. Criteria Pg.72
Are standards that help engineers measures how well their design is doing its job. The tests gather data based on criteria. The data often reveal areas that need improvement.

8. Lesson 3: How does technology improve our lives? Pg. 83-95
Bioengineering
Biotechnology

9. Bioengineering Pg.92
Engineers who work with living things are called bioengineers. When bioengineers apply the engineering design process to living things, they are practicing bioengineering.

11. Biotechnology Pg.93
Any product used to benefit organisms or their environment

12. How does technology improves our lives:
Transportation: Cars, airplanes, buses, trains, boats, spaceships.
Communication:Phone, texting, social media, radio, tv, internet
Cooking/food/ Baking/growing food/livestock
Learning: Language, reading, writing
Medicine/ doctors/ hospitals/ nurses

13. Making our lives better with Technology:
Today you will pick one piece of biotechnology or bioengineering, and you will research and explain to the class how it makes the world a better place.
Please include at least 3 pictures or 2 and a drawing:
To answer each question make a slide for it.
Who invented your technology?
How does it work?
How does it make the world a better place: who does it help, how does it help, how does it make life easier?

14. Who invented your technology?
Invented by Benjamin Franklin in in the

16. How does it work?
