HISTORY OF ANTECEDENTS IN SCIENCE

AND TECHNOLOGY

what is antecedents? it refers to something that

comes before or happened before or precedes.
What is science? concerted (pinagsama sama) human effort to
understand better, the history of natural world and how the natural
world works with observable physical evidence as the basis of that
understanding done through observation of natural phenomena or
through experimenation.
 
 
what is technology? science or knowledge put into practical use to
solve problems or invent useful tools. the application of scientefic
knowledge for practical purposes espicially in industry.
HOW IS SCIENCE USED IN TECHNOLOGY?
Science is the pursuit (chasing) of knowledge about the natural world
through systematic observation and experiments through science, we
develop neeD technologies.
 
 
Technology is the application of scientifically gained knowledge for
practical purposes Scientist use technology in all their experiments.
THE ROLE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
-alter (baguhin) the way people live, connect, communicate
andtransact, with profound effects on economic development.
 
 
-key drivers to development, because technological and scientific
revolutions underpin economic advances,improvements in health
systems, education and infrastructure.
In the ancient times, people were concerned with transportation and navigation,
communication, ana recordkeeping, mass production, security and protection, as well as
health, aesthetics, and architecture.
 
 
 
Transportation was significant during that time because people were trying to go places
and discover newhorizons.
 
 
They are travelling to search for food and find better locations for their settlements.
They alsotravelled to trade their surplus goods in exchange for things that they lacked.
Communication was also essential in their endeavors to discover
and occupy new places. They needed away to communicate with
the natives of the areas the visited so as to facilitate trade and
prevent possible contacts
 
The increase in size and number of nations connoted increased
demand for food and other basic necessities, this condition also
implied that the people must be able to produce food at a given
time and space since resources were getting scarcer as more
people struggled to share the basic necessities. The people thus
needed a form of technology that would enable them to increase
food supplies and other survival needs
ANCIENT PERIOD
3,500BC-100BC

The rise of ancient civilization paved the way for advances in

science and technology. These advances during the Ancient
period allowed civilizations to flourish by finding better ways of
communication, transportation, self- organization, and of living
in general.
 POTTER’ WHEEL
a heavy flat disk made of
hardened clay which was spun
horizontally on axis. It is
believed that the Sumerians
invented the potter's wheel
shortly after 3500 BC.
 PAPYRUS
a material similar to thick
paper. is made from the pith
of the papy us plant cyperus
papyrus. It is lightweight,
strong, durable, and most
importantly, portable. Before
the Egyptians invented the
papyrus, writing was done on
stone.
 SHADOOF

is a hand -operated device

used for lifting water. Its
invention introduced the idea
of lifting things using counter
weights. it was an early tool
invented and used by ancient
Egyptians.
ANTIKYTHERA
MECHANISM
used to predict astronomical position and
eclipses for calendar and astrological
purposes. -it is similar to a mantle clock. It is
akin to a clock in the way that the case has a
circular face and rotating hands. A knob on the
side makes it possible f or it to be moved
forward and backward. As this knob moves
forward and backward, its mechanism allows
it to display celestial time. - Invented by the
Greeks that was discovered and retrieve from
the water of Antikythera Greece.
 AEOLIPILE
is a steamed powered turbine which
spun when the water container at its
center was heated, thus making it
practically the first rudimentary steam
engine.

- It is also known as the Hero's engine.

MIDDLE AGES (5TH CENTURY AD- 395 CE

Between the collapse of the Roma Empire in 5th century AD and the
colonial expansion of Western Europe in late 15th century AD, major
advances in scientific and technological development took place. These
includes steady increase of new inventions, introduction of innovations in
traditional production, and emergence of scientific thinking and method.
As such, some of humanity's most important present-day technologies
could be traced back to their historical antecedents in the Middle Ages
HEAVY PLOUGH

Most important technological

inventions during the middle
ages. It turned the European
agriculture and economy its
head.
 GUN POWDER
around 850 AD, Chinese alchemist
accidentally invented black powder or
gunpowder. Multiple accounts suggest that
the gunpowder might have been an
unintended by product of attempts made by
the Chinese to invent the elixir of life, which
is why the Chinese called It huoyao which
means "fire potion".
 PAPER MONEY

The first known versions of paper money could

be traced back to the Chinese in 17th century
AD as an offshoot of the invention of block
printing, which is similar to stamping. Before
the introduction of paper money, precious
metals, such as gold and silver were used as
currency.
 SPINNING WHEEL
machine used for transforming fiber into
thread or yarn and eventually woven into
cloth on a loom. Although no consensus
could be made regarding the origin of the
spinning wheel it is theorized that the
Indians invented spinning wheel between 6th
and lith century AD.
 SPINNING WHEEL

The development of mechanical clock paved

the way for accurately keeping track of time.
The sophistication of clockwork technology
of the mechanical clock drastically changed
the way days were spent and work patterns
were established, particularly in the more
advanced Middle Age cities
MODERN AGES (1590-1929)

As the world population steadily increased, people of the Modern Age

realized the utmost importance of increasing efficiency of transportation,
communication, and production. Industrialization
Took place with greater risk in human health, food safety and
environment which has to be addressed as scientific and technological
progress unfolded at an unimaginable speed.
 TELESCOPE

this invention could magnify objects 20

times larger than the Dutch perspective
glasses. Galileo Galilei was the first who
invented the first telescope perhaps the
single, most important technological
invention in the study of astronomy
during the Modern Ages.
 COMPOUND MICROSCOPE

this invention could magnify objects 20 times

larger than the Dutch perspective glasses.
Galileo Galilei was the first who invented the
first telescope perhaps the single, most
important technological invention in the study
of astronomy during the Modern Ages.
 JACQUARD MACHINE

is also an important antecedent of

modern computer technology as it
demonstrated the use of punched cards to
instruct a machine to carry out complex
task, i.e making different textile patterns.
- It simplifies textile manufacturing.
Invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard.
ENGINED POWERED AIRPLANE

Örville right and Wilbur Wright

(brothers) are credited for designing and
successfully operating the first engine
powered aircraft and flight scientifically.
They proved that aircrafts could fly
without airfoil-shaped wings.
 TELEVISION

the Scottish engineer John Logie Baird is

largely credited for the invention of
modern television.
INVENTIONS BY FILIPINO ARTIST

Most of the inventions appealed to the unique social and cultural

context of the archipelagic nation. Throughout the Philippine
history, Filipinos are responsible for developing many scientific and
technological innovations focused on navigation, traditional,
shipbuilding, textiles, food processing, indigenous arts and
techniques and even cultural inventions.
 ELECTRONIC JEEPNEY

The e-jeepney is the inventive response to

criticism to the traditional jeepney that
belched smoke, directly causing air pollution
which made it unsustainable and
uneconomical. They are designed to be
environment friendly, eliminating noise and
air pollution as they run on electricity.
 MEDICAL INCUBATOR
 
renowned Filipino pediatrician and national
scientist, Fe del Mundo, is credited for the
invention of the incubator and jaundice
relieving device. Her incubator was
particularly outstanding as it addressed the
state of Philippine rural communities that
had no electricity to aid the regulation of
body temperatures of newborn babies.
 VIDEOPHONE

invented a device that makes it possible

for two persons to see each other on a
television while talking on the telephone
as early as 1954.
 BANANA CATSUP

Filipino food technologist Maria Orosa, is

credited for the invention of banana
ketchup, a variety ketchup different from
the commonly known tomato ketchup.
