3 Ships/boat The ship was made in about 4000 BC by the Ancient Egyptians is was a wooden sail boat. In 1200 BC the Greeks were making ships that were about 100 feet long and could carry tons of cargo. The Romans made even bigger ships that could carry 1000 people and 1000 tons of cargo.

4 Anicent Technology Some things that were used way back in the day was things such as catapults, siege towers, and battering rams. Catapult were used to hurl projectiles from a distance Siege towers- protected soldiers when trying to get close to enemy walls, Archers usually on top Battering rams- used to break through walls/gates.

5 Invention of Firearms China invented the first firearm in the 12 th century after they invented gun powder in the 9 th. The ancestor of the firearm is the fire lance(a tube filled with black powder that was attached to the end of a spear and acted like a flamethrower) The first gun was used in the piskapainan war. The oldest surviving gun was made from bronze and dates back to 1288.

6 American Revolution Technology used: Mortars, Cannons, Land Mines, Submarines Mortars(1453) Weapon that fires bombs at low velocities, short ranges, and high arcing trajectories Cannon- Artillery that uses gunpowder to launch a projectile. Land Mines(3 rd Century)- Explosive deivce, underground and destorys enemy targets and they pass over or near it.

7 American Revolution Cont. Submarine(1620) Watercraft capable of independent operation underwater. First invented bu Cornelius Drebbel a Dutchman First military submarine was the Turtle(1775) Tried using Turtle to sink a British warship HMS Eagle but failed.

8 Civil War Technology used : Grenades, Gatling gun, Telegraph, IronClad Grenades- Originated from weapons known as Zhen Tian Lei(gunpowder was packed into ceramic or metal containers). A grenade is a small bomb that can be thrown by hand. Gatling gun- Early machine gun. Was invented in 1861 by Dr. Richard J Gatling an American inventor. First used in the Civil War. Ironclad(1859)- Steam propelled warship that was protected bu iron or steel armor plates Telegraph(1792) Long distance transmission of messages.

9 World War 1 Technology used: Machine Guns, Airplanes, Tanks, Flame throwers Machine Guns(Mid 19 th century) A fully automatic mounted or portable firearm Airplanes(1903) Aircraft that is capable of flight using wings Tanks(1915)- Tracked, Armored fighting vehicles designed for front-line combat Flamethrowers(1900) - incendiary device designed to project a long controllable stream of fire

10 World War 2 Technology used : The Atomic Bomb, Radar, ASDIC (Sonar) Atomic Bomb(1945) Explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions Radar(RAdio Detection And Ranging)(1904) Object detection system which uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects Sonar(SOund Navigation And Ranging)(1916) - Technique that uses sound propagation to navigate, communicate with, or detect objects on or under water.
