Science Definition

"knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of

the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method [and]
concerned with the physical world."

What is the difference between science and technology

Although different from each other, Science and Technology go hand-in-hand, and
in this particular explanation, Science is the egg, and Technology is the Chicken if
you believe that the egg came first. I can't tell you where the egg came from, other
than the fact that Creation and Evolution seem to be intertwined. Science can
broadly be defined as the study of "things" such as: Chemistry, Biology, Physics,
Genetics, Geology, Psychology, Sociology, and other fields of study that analyze
interactions, behaviors, physical properties, effects, causes, etc. in order to
rationalize or establish given properties, behaviors and interactions about such
"things". In Science class, the basis of Science is the conducting of experiments.
Basically, a theory is made (stated), analysis and testing are performed with the use
of various controls, and when a specific, measurable result occurs, and can be
reproduced or proven time and time again, the theory then becomes Scientific law,
or a truism of sorts (I am trying to be general in order to represent all the fields).

Technology, refers generally to items of use, created from "Applied Science". A

good example of this is the production of Solar panels. Solar Panels are used in a
variety of different technologies, but the simplest example is a Solar Powered
Calculator. It was proposed long ago that the Sun emits 2 types of energy, heat
energy and light energy. The Sun's heat energy is what warms the Earth's
atmosphere so that life as we know it can exist, by warming the atmosphere to a
tolerable temperature that the Human Body can function in. (Space is somewhere
around -230 degrees Farenheit, and at those temperatures, plants could not grow,
and the Human body would not be able to carry on normal functions such as
breathing in that cold of temperature.) The sun's light energy is absorbed by Solar
Panels (and Solar Cells), and converts that energy to electricity so that the
calculator can perform mathematical functions. To test this, put a piece of electrical
tape over the solar panel on a solar calculator for 15 minutes, and then see if you
can turn it on. If you can't then you know the light energy is being converted to
electricity.

In brief: Science is the study of forces and interactions between different "things",
both animate and inanimate. Technology can be referred to as things which we
make, but were developed by applying Scientific law, knowing what such "things"
are capable of doing
