项目摘要

The Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) in collaboration with the Charles River Museum of Industry will use the history of technology to introduce students in American history classes to applications of chemistry, physics and engineering. "Discovering Science and Technology through American History: A Pilot Project" will stimulate greater interest among middle and high school students in science and technology and will demonstrate to them the impact of science and engineering on their daily lives. The broader goal of this unconventional approach is to encourage students to pursue academic study of science and engineering. The technology selected to achieve these goals is textiles and apparel which students care about personally and one that deals with both science and engineering. The essence of the project will be eight modular curriculum units which can be inserted into American History survey courses without disruption to existing curricula and teacher lesson plans. The units will be prepared by a group of eighteen middle and high school teachers and historians of technology. Curricular packages will include detailed lesson plans, bibliographies for students and teachers, background essays for teachers, descriptions of student projects, black line art and diagrams which teachers can photocopy for classroom use, experiments and videotapes. The units may include some simple artifacts and indicate where others can be obtained. The Society for the History of Technology has the technical expertise and the resources of the Charles River Museum provide a strong information base for the development of the project.

科技史学会(Sshot)将与查尔斯河工业博物馆合作，利用技术史向美国历史课堂上的学生介绍化学、物理和工程的应用。《通过美国历史发现科学技术：试点项目》将激发初中生对科学技术的更大兴趣，并向他们展示科学和工程对他们日常生活的影响。这一非传统方法的更广泛目标是鼓励学生进行科学和工程方面的学术研究。为实现这些目标而选择的技术是学生个人关心的纺织品和服装，而且是一种既涉及科学又涉及工程的技术。该项目的实质将是八个模块课程单元，可以插入到美国历史调查课程中，而不会破坏现有的课程和教师的教案。这些单元将由18名初中和高中教师和技术历史学家组成的小组准备。课程资料包将包括详细的教案、为学生和教师提供的参考书目、为教师提供的背景论文、对学生项目的描述、黑线艺术和供教师影印供课堂使用的图表、实验和录像带。这些单位可能包括一些简单的文物，并指明在哪里可以获得其他文物。技术历史学会拥有技术专长，查尔斯河博物馆的资源为该项目的发展提供了强大的信息基础。
