Lesson 1: overview SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Objectives: Explain the definition of science, technology and society Deseribe how science and technology affects society and how in tum society affects science and technology Cite real life examples of tools and procedures that shows the relationship between science, technology and society. Science, Technology and Society Science and technology studies, or science, technology and society studies is the study of show society, politics and culture affect scientific rescarch and technological innovation, and how these, in turn, affect society, polities and culture, SCIENCE Came from the Latin word “Scientia” meaning knowledge. An organized body of knowledge attained using, scientific method Sclentific method refers to a system o acquiring knowledge which uses systematic observation and experimentation, There’s a difference between Facts and Non- facts Facts — were processed in a series of systematic studies. How did Science came about’? Curiosity triggers our hunger for knowledge. The human attempt to understand the natural world. With or without concern for practical uses, Curiosity, afer a series of systematic observation and experimentation, we established this body of knowledge. TECHNOLOGY ‘came from two Greck word: TEHCNE meaning art, craft, or skill. LOGOS meaning to speak of, imply the practical application of rechne. (to study) is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of life. We are using the knowledge we acquire to use in our life ina very practical way Technology involves: Tool and Devices, Procedures and Techniques, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SCIENCE explores for the purpose of knowing. Its the search for knowledge. TECHNOLOGY explores for the purpose of making something useful from the knowledge SCIENCE is theory, TECHNOLOGY is practice. (Theory is ba for practice. When seience is applied there is technology) We apply knowledge into a series of procedures to make something useful to help us in our daily lives. (ex. Coal — water= steam. Steam train) SOCIETY Latin word “Soctetas” meaning friend, ally or interaction between people. A Society is a group of individuals, which is characterized by common interest and may have distinctive culture and institution, > NS Life of society becomes more convenient because of technology. Science is applied to make technology, and Technology is invented to ‘make the lie of society casier and more convenient. We need to unlock new bodies of knowledge, we need to lean more. Society demands more from Science and technology. Hindi makakapag imbento ng bago kung hindi nag demand o kinailangan ng society. Science and Technology affects society. The present condition of society influences Science and technology. ‘Technology makes life easier for the society, so society benefits from technology. Society isn’t stagnant, and science will always seek to improve our way of life, and when we encounter more problem we demand more from science and technology. Lesson 2: Science +Who started science? > Science existed since the dawn of human existence > The human attempt to understand the natural world with and without concern for practical uses, > The desire to survive has made way for human to discover new forms of knowledge. *The history of science and technology Pre historic > the primitive man must have: > Recognized the distinctive difference between living and non-living things > Practice instinetive therapeutics Inverted and used primitive stone tools for hunting and gathering resources.

Lesson 3: Selentifie revolution ~ Intellectual revolutions that defined the society. Science can be deceiving. We believe prior body of knowledge without considering other observations and explanation. Perspective and views. People are conditioned to see a certain way, believing it is the only way to look at things and don’t even consider the possibility of « different explanation for what they are seeing. PARADIGM SHIFT (a concept of perspective is dynamic) A paradigm is a worldview, or a particular way of doing, things, that encompasses different concepts and postulated about how a particular field works and why it works the way it does. When a paradigm shift happens, things get ted upside down on their heads. Aristotle believe and proposed to people that “motion of an object is relative to its mass”. That is normal science during that time. As the time passes, people began to observe anomalies which resulted into ertsts. This is revolutionary science. But duc to Galileo and Newton, they experimented by dropping to objects, one light weighted and another which is heavier than the other. That experiment revealed that both object landed together. And people started to believe G and N. Newton proves that through his 3 laws of motion, This idea was now accepted and considered as normal science. 1. How does universe works? CLADIUS PTOLEMY - proposed an idea and model called GEOCENTRIC THEORY (2™ century). THE EARTH IS STILL. The geocentric model is a superseded description of the universe with carth at the center; Under the geocentric ‘model the sun, moon, stars, and planets all orbited earth, NICOLAUS COPERNICUS - propo: IOCENTRICISM (1543). The sun is the center of the universe. Heliocentricism is the astronomical model in which the earth and planets revolve around the sun at the center of the universe. This idea was accepted because it was supported by the famous person who invented the telescope (GALILEO GALILED). 2. HOW HUMANS AND ALL CREATURES CAME ABOUT? Divine Creation ~ religion belief. What all things looks like it is the way on how God created them. Before Charles Darwin, nearly all sciemtists believed that life on earth, including humans, was created by God thousands of years earlier and had remained unchanged over time. DARWIN'S THEORY OF EVOLUTION 1859 His proposition that all species of like have descended over time from common aneestors is now widely accepted, and considered a foundational concept in This theory declared that species survived through a process called “natural selection,” where those that successfully adapted or evolved to mect the changing requirements of their natural habitat thrived and reproduced, while those species that failed to evolve and reproduced died off. 3. WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE? THE EXISTENCE OF THE UNCIOUNSCIOUS “Mental Illness was almost universally considered ‘organic’; that i, it was thought to come from some kind of deterioration or disease of the brain.” Physiological illness thats why they open the skull and examine the brain during that time. “Sharp dividing line between the “insane” and the “sane.” Insane people were those w/ physical diseases of the brain. Sane people were those w/o diseased brains.” Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory ~ most accepted way to treat mental illness Psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud, He believed that people could be cured by making conscious, their unconscious thoughts and motivations, thus gaining “insight”. Psychoanalysis sees mental illness as a result of human experience rather than biological errors of the brain and central nervous system Id — instincts, immature, low, unconscious energy Ego — reality, middle, conscious Superego ~ morality, highest, preconscious Id and superego should be balance for ego to exist 4. WHAT MAKES UP STUFF? (universe) 3 paradigms Aristotle > Alchemy > Chemistry The 4 elements of matter ‘The ancient Greeks believed that there were four clements that everything was made up of: EARTH, WATER, AIR, and FIRE. This theory was suggested around 450 BC, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle, Alchemy — Egyptian: “QEM” (black) Greek: CHYMA. (to cast) Arable: Al Kimia “Everything around us contains a sort of universal spirit, and metals were believed no only to be alive but also to ‘grow inside the earth.” GOLD IS EVERYTHING Centered their search on a mythical substance they knew as philosopher's stone, which was supposed to possess many valuable attributes such as the power to heal, to prolong life, and to change base metals into precious, metal- such as gold.” (CHEMISTRY is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed Today we know that the universe is made up of atoms: and elements. John Dalton —all are made up of atoms (proven). That ‘was prior revealed by Democritus but was neglected by ‘many during that time. ‘The first modem chemist was ROBERT BOYLE (1627- 1691). Boyle was also the first to disagree with the Greek Idea of four elements in his book THE SKEPTICAL CHYMIST, published in 1661. Human curiosity encouraged investigation, discovery, modem day knowledge. It triggers the mind to question current beliefs. During the era of the scientific revolution, people began using experiments and ‘mathematies to understand mysteries.
