  1. Production Technology

  2. The Three Parts of our Economy • Primary - getting resources/materials from the earth, ex: iron • Secondary - making things from the materials acquired from the primary sector, ex: car • Tertiary -providing services or selling the things made in the secondary sector, ex: car dealership

  3. Production • Production - the use of materials and tools/technology to make a product • What part of the economy does production fall under?

  4. The Tools of Production • The tools we have used to make things has changed greatly throughout human history. • Early tools were made of stone and were used to hunt and gather food. This period is known as the Stone Age which lasted between 700,000 to 10,000 years ago. • From about 9000 years ago to the 1700’s, people began to settle and farm the land using hand tools and ploughs. This period is known as the Agricultural Age. • Between the 1700’s and 1800’s the first factories were developed , using tools/machines that were powered by steam or flowing water. Later electricity would become a major power source. This period is known as the Industrial Age. • More recently within the last 30 years electronic tools have been created to automate processes, develop, send, and receive information. This period is known as the Information Age.

  5. Create a timeline using MS Excel Timeline spreadsheet showing the tools of the 1. Stone Age 2. Agricultural Age 3. Industrial Age 4. Information Age. • Each entry must give the date the tool was used, what it was used for, and a picture. • Marks will be given for the completeness of your timeline entries ( dates, info), images, timeline organization (proper spacing/placement of years, extension lines that do not overlap or go beyond touching the timeline itself, extension lines that intersect the timeline at the appropriate date stated, and customization).

  6. To get the Timeline Template • Click Start - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Microsoft Office Excel 2007 - Click the Microsoft symbol in the top left corner - click New - type in the 'search Microsoft Office online for a template' text box the word "TIMELINE".
