The Development of Industry. The Wisconsin Guide to Local Curriculum Improvement in Industrial Education, K-12.

This field tested instructional package is intended to develop within the student an understanding of the significant time periods and major events in the history of industry. Defining behavioral objectives, the course description includes a media section, suggested classroom activities, and student evaluation materials, as well as the basic information section. Included in the package are the five periods of the development of industry and examples of major events in each period. These are listed to familiarize the student with the history of industry. The student is asked to delect one period in history and construct a model of his choice that will explain an event, duplicate a machine, experiment, or a discovery from that time period. (Author/MW)
