Free Educational Resources Help Parents and Teachers
The IEEE History Center's Raising Engineering Awareness through the Conduit of History (REACH) Program provides free resources that engage students in the history of technology. Parents and teachers can explore lesson plans, or inquiry units, that include formative performance tasks, civic actions and excerpted documents for students. Students can participate in hands-on activities, analyze primary and secondary source materials, and be entertained by short videos that focus on the history of technology and its role in society. Intended for middle and secondary school students, the resources can be incorporated into many subjects including science, history, economics and language arts. Explore the inquiry units which include: Skyscrapers, Electric Lighting, Early Maritime Navigation, Triremes, Drones, Electronic Music, Radio, Printing Press, and the Refrigerated Railcar. Adults can have fun learning from the resources as well!
