System of knowledge
of the natural world gained through the scientific method.
Science
Italian astronomer, physicist and
engineer, sometimes described as a polymath
- Telescope
- Moons of Jupiter
galileo galilei
it is a process that is used to solve everyday problems or questions.
scientific inquiry/process
a Polish astronomer known as the father of modern astronomy. He was the first modern European scientist to propose that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, or the Heliocentric Theory of the universe.2
nicolas copernicus
his theory of evolution had three main components: that variation among members of a species; traits could be inherited by its progeny; only those with favorable traits to survive.
charles darwin
proposes a tentative explanation or prediction
hypothesis
steps of the sci process
Observation
Hypothesis formation
Hypothesis testing
Data Analysis
Acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis
is a substantiated explanation for an occurrence. they rely on tested and verified data, and scientists widely accepted theories to be true, though not unimpeachable.
theories
Develop a question or problem that can be solved through experimentation.
problem/question
make observations and research your topic of interest
observation/research
Predict a possible answer to the problem or question it should answer the original question, and it should be testable
formulate a hypothesis
Develop and follow a procedure. Include a detailed materials list.The outcome must be measurable (quantifiable).
testing the hypothesis
Modify the procedure if needed. Confirm the results by retesting. Include tables, graphs, and photographs
collect and analyze results
statement that accepts or rejects the hypothesis.
conclusion
Practical application of knowledge, Science of industrial arts and manufacture, Material products or result of human fabrication and making
technology
origin of the word technology
Greek words tekhne meaning “art or craft”
logi “subject or interest”
technology process
Identification (need) desire
Conceptualization
Production or execution of plan or design
The use of phase.
involves commercialization of prototype inventions of research and development into marketable products or processes
innovation
a first, typical or preliminary model of something, especially a machine, from which other forms are developed or copied.
prototype
transforming research findings into prototype inventions of new materials, devices and processes.
development
agriculture Age- comprising the pre- industrial technologies which are labor-intensive, small-scale, decentralized and based on empirical rather than scientific knowledge.
first wave technology
comprising the industrial technologies which were developed since the time of industrial revolution until the end of World War II. Usually capital-intensive technologies and are essentially based on the classical principles of classical physics, chemistry and biology.
second wave technology
he post-industrial or the high technologies which are called science-intensive since they are based on the modern scientific knowledge
third wave technology
A group of people living as a community or an organized group of people for a common purpose
society
the most primitive of all societies
hunter and gatherer
slash and burn farming societies
shifting and farming
Mining often sets up a direct competition with small-scale agriculture for control of land. … with another predominant means of economic development in rural.
agricultural and mining societies
use of coal market start of industrial revolution
manufacturing and processing societies
production of synthetic food and other resources and recycling of nonrenewable resources
synthesizing and recycling societies
