TECHNOLOGY VS SCIENCE Like brothers Or sisters How

TECHNOLOGY VS SCIENCE: Like brothers! Or sisters! How are they similar & different?

After this presentation, your goal is to. . • Understand the definition of technology • Determine the difference between science and technology • Discover the human limitations, and the technology we use to overcome them • Explore the characteristics of technology • Know the resources of technology • Find out what a Renewable and Nonrenewable resource is • Describe how technology has led to more scientific knowledge.

WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY? • The application of knowledge, tools, and processes to solve practical problems and extend human capabilities. • QUIZ: What is TECHNOLOGY? – A space suit? –Grass? – The internet? --A chair? – A newborn baby? –An inoculation against smallpox? –A hammer?

How is TECHNOLOGY different than SCIENCE?

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY Science is the accumulation of knowledge. Technology is the application of knowledge.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY SCIENCE is the study of WHY natural things happen the way they do. TECHNOLOGY is the use of knowledge to turn resources into the goods and services that society needs.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST Study how the earth was formed and what it is made from. Use the materials in the earth to make useful objects.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST Study the relationship between the earth, planets, and the stars. Build and launch space shuttles and satellites.

SCIENTIST Study materials under a microscope to learn why they have the characteristics that they do. TECHNOLOGIST NEaxnce optu t: b.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST Discover the way the human body works. Make artificial hearts and limbs.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST Discover genetic codes that determine the nature of life. Use codes to develop new medicines and vaccines.

SCIENTISTS & TECHNOLOGISTS ARE A TEAM! Biologists, chemists, and physicists are… Architects, engineers, product designers and technicians are… Scientists Technologists

WE ARE LIMITED: The 6 Human Limitations 1. Temperature 2. Muscles 3. Sight 4. Hearing 5. Speed 6. Touch

10 Characteristics of Technology 1. Technology is evident in all cultures. 2. is knowledge based 3. is fundamental to humanity 4. is fundamental to survival 5. extends our capabilities 6. is accumulative 7. alters our culture 8. is future oriented 9. is observable 10. seeks harmony

Resources for Technology 1. People 2. Information 3. Materials 4. Tools and Machines 5. Energy 6. Capital 7. Time

Resources can be either… LIMITED In short supply Water in some places Petroleum UNLIMITED Available in great quantity Clay Iron ore Sand

Renewable & Nonrenewable RAW MATERIALS Renewable: can be either grown or replaced E. g. Wood, rubber Animals & Plants Rubber tree Nonrenewable: Cannot be grown or replaced E. g. Minerals, metal ores Iron ore, Copper & Gold Oil, Coal & Gas

REVIEW • What is the definition of technology? • Which is the technologist: Biologist or Architect? • What are the human limitations? What technology do we use to overcome them? • What are the characteristics of technology? • Name the resources of technology • Name three examples of a Renewable and Nonrenewable resource. • WHO ASKS HOW? WHO ASKS WHY?

Describe how technology has led to more science knowledge. -steam engines developed many laws and theories “thermodynamics” -Dutch satellites advanced astronomy -electron microscope = cell study -liquid fuel rockets -bombs-spacecraft- moon landing- soil samples -probes to planets.
