1. List some policies/programs of the government that steers the nation’s

Science and Technology forward. Describe these policies briefly, and give
their Pros, as well as their Cons. Support your claims by citing examples
of their positive/negative impact to our nation’s development.

2. Take photos (maximum of 10) that depict the use of science/technology

in your community. Put a brief description on each of your photo (name of
technology and its purpose). Upload your work in social media, and try to
elicit comments from the viewers, then have a sharing with the class next
meeting.
Summary
In this unit, you have learned the different contributions to Science and
Technology of each epoch of human history- Ancient, Medieval and Modern
Times. Necessity and adversity drive people to think and invent technology to
address the needs and problems they encountered in everyday life. These
inventions paved way to major developments from ancient to modern society
and along with it, the transmission of scientific and technological knowledge
that influenced our very own notion of the world.

The advent of technology opens the door for more scientific endeavors in the
quest of unravelling the mysteries of the natural world, and hence the birth of
scientific revolution. The revolution had sparked human creativity and critical
thinking, and by this time, many a discovery and scientific ideas were
developed, and new scientific paradigms were generated which had
overthrown previous paradigms. This manifests that scientific knowledge is
not permanent, and subject to constant change through careful research and
experimentation.

In the Philippines, even before period of colonization, our society has been
faring on its improvement in terms of Science and Technology especially in
agriculture, handicraft and medicine. During colonization, there was a slow
growth of S&T since majority of its sophistication is brought about by the
foreign invaders. The establishment of Bureau of Science by Americans paved
the way for the initial growth of S&T in the country. During post-colonial
period where Philippines had given the autonomy for executive,
administrative, judicial and legislative operations, different programs and
policies of the government gear towards reinforcing progress of S&T. Many
Filipinos were renowned not only in the national but also around the global
society for their outstanding feat.

Think about these

1. What value of a scientist have you learned from the major

revolutions? Why?

2. What could be the consequences if these major intellectual

revolutions did not take place?
