DIRECTION: EXPLAIN THE QUESTION BASED ON YOUR UNDERSTANDING:

1. Explain Scientific Revolution.

The Scientific Revolution is a term which is a period of dramatic shift in
scientific ideas that occurred in the 16th and 17th century. It replaced the Greek
concept of nature, which had dominated science for about 2,000 years. A Scientific
revolution, in broad terms, refers to the rebirth of contemporary science. This can be
said to have occurred when advances in several fields of study, particularly
chemistry, physics, arithmetic, astronomy, and biology, radically revolutionized the
way many things were done. The Scientific Revolution occurred in Europe at the end
of the Renaissance period and lasted until the late 18th century, influencing the
Enlightenment intellectual social movement. While the dates are debatable, the
publication of Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the
Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) in 1543 is often regarded as the start of the
Scientific Revolution.
The Copernican revolution in cosmology, which change from a geocentric to a
heliocentric understanding of our solar system, perhaps the clearest example of such
a paradigm change in science. So, because of this our perception about this matter
change that our sun is the center and our planets revolve in the sun.
The beginning of the Scientific Revolution, the Scientific Renaissance, was
focused on the recovery of ancient knowledge; this is generally considered to have
ended in 1632 with the publication of Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two
Chiesas. The book completed the synthesis of a new cosmology by formulating the
principles of motion and universal gravitation. By the end of the 18th century, the
Age of Enlightenment that followed the Scientific Revolution had given way to the
"Age of Reflection."

2. What can you say about the state of science and technology during the Spanish
and American period?

I can say about the state of Science and Technology during the Spanish
period is that schools built by the Spaniards were the only way for the Philippines to
enhance their limited understanding of science and technology. As time progressed,
universities such as 'The University of Santo Tomas' were formed and topics such as
medicine were introduced. But as our history teacher discuss in my high school days
it was said that Spanish Era was teaching only limited information to the students.
Actually, most institutions concentrated on disseminating on Spanish religion or
theology which their primary focus to spread Christianity, they also provided our
ancestors with a formal education by teaching them how to write, read, conduct
Maths, and study other parts of Science but it is limited and teaching people who
are well-off only. Aside from the education the main focus of the Spanish is to
spread their religion which is to convert natives to Christianity. Due to our ancestors
were already knowledgeable with using plants as medicine, many Filipinos were
interested in study, which led to the discovery of new knowledge that we now use.
As time progressed, universities such as 'The University of Santo Tomas' were
formed and topics such as medicine were introduced. 
In comparison the American period, technology and this era grew more
modernized and emphasized than the Spanish period, which was mostly focused on
research for tropical illnesses, agriculture, food processing, forestry, medicine, and
pharmacy. Americans introduced the notion of unrestricted education to the
Philippine islands. The US even deploy the professors to aid establish up faculties
where Filipino children might obtain a free education. The Americans introduced
unique styles of terrestrial vehicles, planes, and ships to the country. Their interest
extends beyond the layout of bridges, highways, ports, and breakwaters.
They continued with the establishment of a public school system after
establishing the Department of Public Instruction in 1907 to provide free education
with English as the medium of instruction. They ignored religion in favor of focusing
on the government, establishing new institutions such as the University of the
Philippines and the Philippine Normal University to prepare instructors for the
abrupt shift in the system. In addition, colleges of agriculture, medicine, and liberal
arts were built, with graduates eventually going overseas to train and work as
professionals. In high school also they taught us that the main focus of Americans is
to help Philippines to get out from the Spanish Colonization and the Americans
wanted to alter our educational system and teach us about the value of health and
agriculture.
So, because of its development, medical studies have become increasingly
useful to others. When it comes to research and study on tropical illnesses,
agriculture, food processing, forestry, medicine, and pharmaceuticals, the country has
become more modernized.

3. Identify 3 Filipino scientist and make some research on their contribution in the
field of science.

 Paulo Campos is recognized with founding the country's first and most well-
known Radioisotope Laboratory, the first Research Laboratory in the
 Department of Medicine at the University of the Philippines, and the Thyroid
Clinic at the UP-PGH Medical Center.
 Eduardo Quisumbing (November 24, 1895–August 23, 1986) was a Filipino
botanist and expert in Philippine medicinal plants. He wrote over 129
scholarly publications, many of which were about orchids. Quisumbing was
the director of the National Museum of the Philippines, where he managed
the reconstruction of the herbarium, which was entirely devastated during
World War II; he is commemorated by the plant Saccolabium quisumbingii.
 Gregorio Y. Zara (March 8, 1902 – October 15, 1978) was a Filipino engineer
and physicist who invented the first two-way video telephone. Zara's creation
of the video telephone allowed the caller and recipient to see each other
while chatting, establishing the groundwork for video-conferencing.

4. What is the role of indigenous science in the development of science and

technology?

In the development of science for the role of indigenous science the

traditional knowledge and Indigenous viewpoints are included into Indigenous
science, whereas non-Indigenous scientific techniques are usually referred to as
Western science. They make significant contributions to modern science when they
work together. There are several chances for such information to benefit current
science and natural resource management.
In terms of technology, Canoes, kayaks, toboggans, and snowshoes were
technological advancements that helped travel and transportation and were quickly
adopted by European settlers. Indigenous peoples have extensive knowledge of the
environment and the ecological linkages that exist within it, owing to decades of
personal experience mixed with that of their predecessors. There are several chances
for such information to benefit current science and natural resource management.
Scholars who specialize in Indigenous science can mentor and serve as role models
for present and prospective Indigenous scientific students.
