Answer:

Science and technology has improved many aspects of our human life, such as
making information more accessible and making transportation easy. While it is
irresistible to just relax and enjoy the benefits of science and technology
breakthroughs, it is important that we do not depend on them fully because if
they are gone then we won’t be able to know what we are going to do. Also, we
should not lose sight of their societal implications.

2. What societal problems do science and technology address or respond to?

Answer:

The societal problems that science and technology address or respond to are the
problem of humanity’s daily uses and the cure for illness with the use of highly
sophisticated devices and machines. Some examples of inventions that saved us a
lot of time are artificial lightings, washing machines, e-cars, dishwasher, and solar
powered devices.

These inventions affected my life by making transportation and communication

fast and less time consuming. Basically, it makes our life easier, and also helps to
conserve the environment.

3. Discuss science-relates issues and problems in the country.

Answer:

The science related issues and problems in the Philippines are air and water
pollution. It is the most common problem in the Philippines since there are lots of
factory that emits smoke which contains dangerous gases in the air and also cars,
jeepneys, tricycles, and motorcycles that also emits gas that gets stuck in the
atmosphere causing smog and is also the reason for heating of the earth. And in
the case of water pollution, it is slowly being solved by the government since they
are conducting a clean up drive in ponds, rivers, and lakes. One example for water
pollution is the Pasig river which is the most polluted river in the Philippines
because people are throwing their waste their instead of throwing it in the proper
garbage sites.

4. Identify science and technology policies that could be adapted or

implemented in the Philippines.

Answer:
 The science and technology policies that could be adapted or implemented in the
Philippines is the “Improving environmental quality” because one of the problems
in the Philippines is poverty and if we implement on improving the environmental
quality we might have a solution to end poverty and to have an equal living.

2. Are there private schools with outstanding science education programs? Identify and
compare their science education programs with public science schools.

Answer:

Yes. Private schools have outstanding science education programs because they have a complete
equipment for the program, with fully experienced and trained teachers, and have many benefits
