Module 1: Historical Antecedents of Science,Technology and Society
A. Fill in the table below.
ANCIENT AGE
Used tool and adapt to
MESOAMERICA innovation especially
in field of art such as
looms for weaving
cloth.
Temples and pyramids at
chichen itza which situated at
the location of the sun during
the spring and fall.
Stone buildings that
surmounted earthquakes and
other disasters.
Artifacts such as jade
mask and giant heads.
ASIA In ancient times, Asian
inventors came up with such
fripperies as silk, soap, glass,
ink, parasols, and kites. Some
inventions of a more serious
nature also appeared at this
time, like writing, irrigation,
and map-making

MIDDLE AGE
The shift toward sedentary
agriculture apparently began
after about 7000 BCE,
The gradual domestication of
successful food plants—most
notably a mutant corn (maize)
with husks, dating to c. 5300
BCE—over succeeding
millennia gave rise to more or
less permanent village farming
life by about 1500 BCE.
Corn cultivation in one
area—the humid and fertile
lowlands of southern Veracruz
and Tabasco.
The Four Great Inventions of
China: the compass,
gunpowder, papermaking, and
printing were among the most
important technological
advances, only known in
Europe by the end of the
Middle Ages .
Manufacturing iron and
metallurgical works,
their iron steel is
considered the best in
whole Roman Empire.
MODERN AGE
In their civilization Maya
developed a bright blue paint of
extreme durability, unknown in
Asia or Europe which became the
root for the production of
paintings. It inspired the modern
time.
The most notable country in
Asia in terms of its technological
and scientific achievement is
Japan, which is particularly
known for its electronics and
automobile products.
Asia has experienced a
significant technological
transformation over the past
decade, and there is more to
come if the region addresses
remaining gaps in core
capabilities.
 ANCIENT AGE MIDDLE AGE MODERN AGE

MIDDLE EAST The Egyptians excelled in
such applied sciences as
medicine, engineering, and
surveying; in Mesopotamia
greater progress was made in
astronomy and mathematics.
The common language
is Arabic and access text
from the Byzantine
Empire to create
innovations and
developed new ideas.
Muslim scientists
placed greater value on
science experiments
rather than in plain
thought experiments.

One of the most significant
inventions from the Middle
East was the clock, and even
formalized time-keeping itself.
The system of counting from
zero to 60 originates from
2000 BC in Sumer,
modern-day Iran and Iraq.
the Arabs had developed an Astronomy is also
effective transnational trading famous, they used
system which reached its peak three types of
in the eighth to sixteenth calendar (lunar, solar
centuries and which was and stellar)
based on local technological
inputs, such as skilled
merchants and caravan
managers, navigators with
extensive geographic
knowledge efficiently operated
ports and trading emporia,
scientifically bred camels and
seaworthy dhows (Bahlan
1999, 262).
 ANCIENT AGE
PHILIPPINES
They a system of writing, as
method of counting and
weights and measures.
They learn to weave cotton,
make glass ornaments,
cultivate lowland rice and dike
fields of terraces.
Also built boat for trading
purposes. (caracoa)
counted the years by the
period of the moon and from
oneharvest to another.
(baybayin buan)
They have curative values
on how to extract medicine
from the herbs.
Ssimple tools
and weapons of stone
flakes and later
developed method of
sawing and polishing
stone.
MIDDLE AGE
In 1871 the school of
medicine and pharmacy
were opened to UST.
Science was inclined in
agriculture and food
Processing
Formal educations founded by
scientific institution
school were established for
religion, reading,
writing, and arithmetic.
Accounts by Spanish friars in
the 1580s showed that
Astronomy was already known
and practiced.
The accounts also give the
local names of constellations,
such as Moroporo for the
Pleiades and Balatik
MODERN AGE
By applying technology to
resolve social innovation
challenges,
the Philippines is looking
to solve the urbanization
challenges.
Institutions continued to be
well known for its accurate
typhoon forecast and
scientific works in the field of
meteorology, geo-magnetism
and astronomy.
The Philippines ranked 73rd out
of 128 economies in terms of
Science and Technology and
Innovation (STI) index, citing the
country's strength in research
and commercialization of STI
ideas.

Science and Earth: A Non-fiction

Thousands of years ago, our ancestors have already gained knowledge and information
about how things work and why. They were the predominant forefathers of roads, houses,
microscope bridges, and even medicine. As we arrive in the 21st century, teaching science and
technology is still essential as ever. Its role has been long known to human beings and that is to
make our lives work better. However, it also improves our way of life and its benefits are being
invested for the people. Understanding this field helps with the analysis of illnesses and the
cure. Showing young learners with engaging learning materials and experiments gives them an
overview of what it is like to work in the field of science and technology in response to the
demands of society and the environment.

In order to address societal concerns, science and technology allowed us to explore the
world of biology, physics, chemistry and engineering. For instance, to be able to travel from one
place to another and trade products, people have to acquire a mode of transportation.
Subsequently, we have to build roads, bridges and create vehicles, and those will require us to
think and innovate and design what is compatible for it. Today, students in the Philippines are
tasked to investigate and conduct research, we find problems and formulate hypotheses. Also,
we stop being ignorant once we continuously use our minds. As early as pre-school, students
are tasked to gain basic knowledge about the function of things and they also observe the
different fields of science in a subtle way. How does it shape the students in general? It is like
planting a tree. Teaching literacy in technology assists the students to understand the
mechanics and function of a machine of work. Being literate erases ignorance and being fully
aware gives them the power to think logically. Also, solving problems would not just be an
impulsive one for there are scientific methods to follow. It does not just tackle the art of words
and calculations and functions, it is also about pulling the lever in order to ease the economic
crises. It could also be a way to make progressions and further advancements that the country
needs with the help of high quality education and skilled students. On the other hand, society
and the environment influences the innovations and inventions being made. For example, we
build electric cars in order to reduce the carbon emissions as well as find other sources of
energy aside from oil and gas. Also, because of the pollution plastic is causing and its inability to
decay, scientists are trying to make biodegradable plastics. This means that they are
co-dependent to each other.

With the fast pace of change and globalization, our lives are different than it was years
ago. This kind of relationship between science and technology and society and environment
should be balanced because if not, it will be the root of future problems. In conclusion, they
have affected each other in different ways, both positively and negatively. However, we should
be aware that we should not let science and technology manipulate us and that it should always
be ethically good for society and the environment. Henceforth, we must continue our scientific
journey for a better future.
