Book Show

Curriculum Relevance:
Science and Technology, History:
The importance and impact of technology in our lives. Changing technology over the centuries.

How Science and Technology is continuously changing the way we live.

With this large collection of authentic items from the homes, factories and businesses of the past 150 years, students are able to get a genuine understanding of what preceded many items that they take for granted today. The audience is transported back to a time when televisions, cameras, music players, watches, torches, compasses and phones were separate items, not one device that we call our mobile.

Today with everything apart from a few fruits and vegetables pre-packaged, it’s hard for students to imagine a time when food was weighed by the shop keeper while the customer waited. The importance of the scales at the general store is shown along with how this vital piece of equipment changed into the electronic scales used today. These same advances are shown and discussed with cameras and sound equipment in a fun and informative way. Using newspaper and magazine advertisements from 1900 to current day, students see how much advertising has evolved and how sophisticated and targeted it is today.

With loads of tools, utensils, clothing, toys and all manner of paraphernalia reaching back to the 1800’s this show is a visual feast. Students see how with changes and advances almost everything has been made easier to do, more affordable and our expectations of daily life continue to rise.
