Technology started the moment someone used a tool to accomplish a task. It could have been a rock to crack a nut or a stick to fend off a threatening animal. The first technologies came directly from the environment where people lived; they created tools with what they could get. A group of people living in a forest made tools and weapons with wood, roots, bark, etc. If, in their travels, they came across better material such as sharper rocks, harder wood, or stronger roots , they would collect them and keep them for future use.
The second step in the evolution of technology occurred when they started to use the raw material to make better tools like tying a sharp rock at the end of a wooden spear with some rawhide.
For this unit, your project will involve using material that you can directly obtain from nature to develop technologies that will help you survive.
