• knowledge


  It originally came from the Latin word "scientia" which means
• Science


  It is a particular way of understanding the natural world through observation, experimentation, and testing of theories
• Science is EMPIRICAL


  It should be based on observation or experience. There is PROOF or EVIDENCE built from our senses.
• Science is SYSTEMATIC


  There is a logical approach to discovering how things in the universe work. There is a systematic process to reach a conclusion.
• Scientific method


  -ask questions

  -perform research

  -establish your hypothesis

  -test your hypothesis by conducting an experiment

  -make an observation

  -analyze the results and draw a conclusion

  -present the findings
• Science EXPLAINS and PREDICTS

  It can explain different phenomena and predict outcomes.
• Science TENTATIVE but DURABLE


  It is a work in progress; conclusions are well founded in their factual content and thinking and are tentative only in the sense that all ideas are open to scrutiny.
• Science is OBJECTIVE


  It eliminates personal biases, beliefs, and emotions. It is NOT democratic.
• scientific fact


  differs from opinion in that it must be described within a well-defined perimeter.
• SCIENCE is a Social Enterprise

  it achieves social impact with financial return. It is a balance between profit and social value.
• Technology


  is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.
• Technology is an APPLIED SCIENCE


  Example: Electronics use various scientific principles to function effectively
• Technology is a body of knowledge and skills


  Technology is not just a product but also a set of methods. Examples: Biotechnology, civil engineering, information technology
• Technology can CONTROL AND MODIFY the world

  Examples: Printing press, electricity
• Technology is also total social enterprise


  always considering social welfare.
• Scientific knowledge


  used to create new technologies.
• Technology leads to scientific progress

  New technologies often allow scientists to explore nature in different ways and make new discoveries
• Science and technology are always interconnected

  Science really existed long before technology. Technology uses science to solve problems while science uses technology to discover more
• Society


  is a grouping of individuals, which is characterized by common interest and may have distinctive culture and institutions.
• main characteristics of society

  shared norms, values, and beliefs
• INTERCONNECTION OF STS


  examines how science and technology emerge, how they enter society, how they change through social processes, and how society changes in response to science and technology
• Science, Technology & Society (STS)

  is an interdisciplinary field of study that seeks to investigate the many ways that modern science and technology shape societies, cultures, politics, and economy, and how these in turn shape science and technology

• BRONZE AGE


  -There was an advancement in metalworks. Metals are obtained from ores, a naturally occurring solid material from which a metal or valuable mineral can be extracted through smelting.

  -Bronze is an alloy of copper (88%) and tin (12%).
