Cumberland Valley High School, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, added a modular technology laboratory as part of a recent innovation. The course that is taught in the lab runs throughout the year, and students spend 15 days at each of 10 modular stations. Between rotations, the author presents five-day projects that give the students a break from the computers and modules and allows themselves to address state standards not covered in the modular curriculum. One project that has produced good results deals with fire production as an aspect of technology. In this article, the author describes how he introduced a unit on fire, relating it to earlier lessons on the history of technology.
