About Weapons and Technology
GoConqr OriginalStart with weapons and their uses
Begin with the New Weapons mind map for an overview that includes aircraft development. It describes how planes and balloons were used to find enemy weak points and includes bombing raids. As you read, make a short list of the uses mentioned and try to recall them without looking.
Next, open the WWI Technology mind map and focus on tanks. It describes what tanks could cross, how they protected infantry and some of their limitations. Use those details to practice explaining both what a weapon could do and what made it difficult to use.
Practice with a quiz and flashcards
Try the Weapons of WWI quiz after studying the maps. Its questions ask about weapons created or first used in the war and how generals decided to fight against machine guns. Use the questions to identify details you want to look at again, then return to the relevant map.
The New Weapons flashcards offer another way to practice. They ask about protection against gas attacks, tanks and aircraft. Try answering a card before checking it, and keep track of the subjects you want to study again.
Explore the war in the air
The War in the Air notes describe aircraft at the beginning of the war and their value for reconnaissance. The Technology and war slides also cover aircraft, including fighters. Read the notes first, then use the slides to look more closely at the types of aircraft described.

Weapons and Technology is one section of The First World War unit in History. Use the resources here to focus on this topic while studying the unit, and return to the unit when you are ready to choose what to study next. Pick a map and pair it with a quiz to build your own study routine.
