Primary 7/6C 20th Century Timeline

We have been learning about key events from the 20th Century and beginning to build our sense of chronology by examining key historical events and changes to technology. Yesterday we engaged in a session with museum services in which we each selected an item and identified where it would come on our timeline of decades. It was clear to see how many technological advances happened throughout the century and since! Miss Conner felt very old when we examined a tape player and floppy disks and the class tried to identify their uses- how technology has changed! An excellent afternoon with a lot to learn! Can you identify the objects? Which of the 10 decades do you think it was from?

    

    

This one was the trickiest! No one could guess what it was or when it was from? When we realised it was a gas powered portable hair curler the girls were jealous we don’t have these available now!
