Learning Activities
1. Mobile Phones, Internet and Electricity
2. Historical Antecedents gave rise in inventing the Motorola built the first portable
mobile phone in 1973, which paved the way for the invention of the mobile phone. Prior
to it, only radio communications were available, which are still often referred to as
"walkie-talkies" today. While the Internet was being developed, ARPANET was the
network that served as the foundation for the Internet. ARPANET was created under the
auspices of the United States Advanced Research Projects Agency and was based on
a proposal first published in 1967. (ARPA). With the networking of four university
computers in 1969, the concept became a small reality. Finally, Electricity was
discovered when Benjamin Franklin conducted his famous kite experiment, which led
the discovery of electricity. During a thunderstorm, Franklin connected a key to a kite
line and demonstrated that static electricity and lightning were the same thing.
3.Science and technology have affected human history in a variety of ways. It allowed
us to spread ideas much more quickly across the country and subsequently around the
world. Science is not about manufacturing things, and technical advancement is only
sometimes enhanced by systematic study that qualifies as 'science.' The Sumerians'
meticulous records of the positions of celestial objects demonstrate their scientific
knowledge. They were able to anticipate eclipses and other events based on their
record-keeping, thus it was certainly science. In another sense, technology has made a
significant contribution to human history. History is the tales we tell about what
happened in the past, not what happened in the past.

2.Terraces slow the flow of water, allowing it to trickle from platform to platform,
preventing topsoil loss. It also acts as a flood control measure, allowing water to
penetrate rather than runoff. This water remains below as a reserve for present and
future crops. The Ifugaos created the rice terraces for a variety of purposes, the most
important of which was to provide food for their family. They only had primitive tools
when they built these thousands of years ago, but the Ifugao managed to produce an
engineering marvel: rice terraces supported by a sophisticated irrigation system.

3.How the Banaue Rice Terraces impacted people and society since it also functioned
as a cultural role for the Ifugao people. That it is critical to their economy. It also
necessitates intense cooperation among the people, which has brought them closer
together. The terraces provided the area's ancient people with a large stretch of land for
food production. Many of the rice fields are still in use by the locals. The Ifugao Rice
Terraces are a priceless contribution to humanity made by Philippine ancestors.

Lesson 2
Motivations
1.What do you think will happen if the earth is the center of the solar system?
There would be no life on Earth if the sweet spot location from the Sun did not exist,
which I presume remains where it is in the Solar System that no longer includes the
Earth. Then most of our mathematics is inaccurate, our gravity is extremely powerful,
and all of the planets’ and suns’ courses are incorrect.

2.Do you believe in horoscopes? Why?

No, I don’t believe in horoscopes, but I do believe heavily in astrology. The majority of
horoscope writers have no knowledge of astrology. Some horoscopes predict that you
are this type of person, yet you are the polar opposite.

3.Can you compare yourself to an ape? Yes or No? Why?

Yes, sort like, although I’m not as strong as an ape, yet we humans share many
characteristics. Apes have human-like bones and muscles. Their neurological system
functions similarly to that of humans. We have the same number of fingers and toes,
and the structure of a female ape’s uterus is identical to that of a human female uterus.
Apes have blood types that are similar to the human ABO blood group system. Female
apes and female humans both have menstrual cycles.
Learning Activities
Part 1 :Questions for Relevant

1. How did society shape science and how did science shape society?
The human potential for observation and socialization should be the starting point for
the link between society and science. Science solves societal issues, and then society
discovers new applications for science. This permits you to progress. As society
progresses, more challenges emerge for science to solve. They shape each other as
they go through the process of creating difficulties and solving them.
2. How do social and human issues influence science?
Much of the incentive for scientific investigation comes from the human situation.
Hopes, concerns, scarcity, and other similar factors spark exploration and in-depth
research in an attempt to solve human problems. However, our social connections and
the difficulties we experience can also impact our interpretation of scientific findings.
The social and human relationships are systemic, with one feeding off the other.
Science explains why humans think, feel, behave, and act the way they do.

3. How do the political and cultural landscapes of the society affect the development of
scientific culture, science activities, and science literacy?
Political and cultural landscapes of the society affect the development of scientific
culture, science activities, and science literacy because local cultural values influence
politics, and both politics and culture values influence scientists' behavior and
performance, scientific culture is formed by the cultural and political context of any given
country or region. When any community or cultural entity believes that Faith may
explain something, science culture takes precedence. When a cultural or governmental
institution forces "facts" into a community that are not backed by evidence and instead
claim, science literacy is rejected.

4. Considering the current state of our society, do you think science literacy among
people has contributed to the growth of our economy?
Yes, it helped to boost the economy's growth. Consider scientific literacy to be the
driving force behind the technological advancements you observe around you. Science
literacy is very adaptive, which is why there are so many technical and engineering
marvels all around the world. Scientific literacy enables people to explore for
opportunities to improve the world rather than accept it as it is. People get smarter as a
result of their exposure to science. And when individuals become wiser, they are able to
do smart things. Make the economy more intelligent, construct smart cities, and address
climate change in a less opinionated framework. Science benefits the economy by
preparing people to provide innovative answers to current problems.

5. How can science influence government policies?

The issue isn't with the scientists. The issue is that politicians no longer listen to experts.
They are utterly devoid of facts. Science can forecast environmental harm and the
procedures that must be done to restore it. Science can forecast the country's
educational standards and recommend ways to enhance them. Agriculture output and
damage control can be aided by scientific studies in this subject. Scientific temparment
makes it impossible for individuals to think sensibly rather than politically about
numerous issues that need to be addressed for the betterment of society or the country
as a whole. However, such thinking is not prevalent or is not given proper weight. A lack
of scientific thinking encourages rash decisions, cover-ups of wrongdoing, and a lack of
justice. This is the primary cause for the absence of policies in various government
ministries. It is recognized that as long as people can be duped, there is no need to
work, and even ruling parties can get away with it.
6. Why do you think were most intellectual ideas controversial?
Most intellectual ideas, in my opinion, are contentious because they challenge long-held
assumptions. People constantly suggest fresh ideas that improve society and the world.
Others who do not gain from those ideas will go to tremendous measures to disparage
them. Copernicus and his heliocentric worldview, for example, were scorned by society
since it had long been assumed that the Earth was the center of the universe. Another
reason is that many intellectual notions diminish the uniqueness of humans.

7. Why did the people accept these new discoveries despite being contradictory to what
was widely accepted at that time?
People accept new discoveries despite being contradictory to what was widely accepted
at the time because it has stated and presented strong facts and superior explanation.
8. How to intellectual revolutions transform societies?
Intellectual revolutions transformed societies by developing our thinking skills. Critical
thinking, evaluation, innovations, and creating new equality rules are just some of the
examples of how these revolutions transformed societies. It is a continuous process of
development to achieve the needs of society. It collaborates with our great minds to
make the world in peace. It is progressive in which it innovates everything with
discoveries and experiences.
9. Can you name other scientific revolutions that happened in the following places?
A. Mesoamerica
Mesoamericans believed in the cycles of the planets and celestial creatures such as the
sun and moon. They also constructed observatories to aid in agricultural and
architectural calculations.
B. Asia
From the sixteenth through the seventeenth centuries, the scientific revolution saw the
emergence of philosophical, methodological, and institutional approaches to the natural
world that are eerily similar to those of modern science.
C. Middle East
During the Scientific Revolution, a new understanding of nature evolved, replacing the
Greek paradigm that had dominated science for about 2000 years. Science evolved into
a separate study from both philosophy and technology, and it came to be seen as
having utilitarian purposes.
D. Africa
Throughout ancient Africa, many improvements in metallurgy and tool production were
developed. Steam engines, metal chisels and saws, copper and iron tools and
weapons, nails, glue, carbon steel and bronze weapons and art are only a few
examples.
10. What do you think are the positive and the negative results brought about by
innovations and technological advances in the information age?
Easy communication, efficient working, quick completion of tasks, and easy access to
information are some of the positive effects brought about by innovations and technical
breakthroughs in the information era.
While some forms of technology may have had a positive impact on the world, there is
also evidence of technology's detrimental impacts and overuse. Social media and
mobile gadgets can cause psychological and physical problems, such as online game
addiction and difficulties focusing on vital tasks. They may also contribute to more
serious issues such as cybercrime. Overuse of technology may have a greater impact
because it distances individuals from one another.

Learning Activities

1.Trace the development of science and technology from the pre-colonial time up to the
present. What have you observed?
Based on my own observations of the advancement of science and technology from
pre-colonial times to the present, we are able to apply our insatiable need to pursue the
advancement of various technologies. Way back in pre-colonial days, it emphasizes the
ancient people’s inability to fulfill the necessities of their family, including medicines and
other modes of transportation for them to get some food; as a result, they strive to
uncover that helps them to live a more comfortable existence. During the colonial time, I
noticed that the Spaniards influenced the majority of Filipino citizens to create
infrastructures, bridges, roads, and other things that signify the ostentation of one
country. And, as science and technology have progressed, people have become more
creative as a result of the resources that they now have, compared to when there was a
limitation on the production of various chemicals to produce specific products, as well as
a scarcity of raw materials to create various technologies.

2.What do you think are the major contributions of science and technology to
Philippines nation building?
I think the major contributions of science and technology to the Philippine nation-
building is that most of the Filipino are able to export products outside the country
because of an easier production with the use and help of technological advancement. In
addition is that it brings a positive impact to the economic growth of the Philippines by
means of being one of the well known country that can provides service regards to the
function of different technologies. Science and technology really affects the growth of
Philippine-nation building because it aims to support the Filipino citizen to examine the
existence of one thing. Through this we are able to determine the best way to do if we
want to accomplish our tasks victoriously.

3. What specific government policies do you like the most in terms of contributing to the
development of science and technology?
- If I will choose on what specific government I like the most in terms of the contributions
of science and technology is that providing us a news about weather condition through
the use of Philippine Atmosphere Geophysical and Astronomical Services (PAGASA).
In line with this the people become updated to the current issues that might possible to
happen because it somehow affect the lives of the people. Because of this, we are able
to be ready and secure ourselves on uncertain things that might possible to occur as
days passes by. To sum it up, it contributed a lot for us to become more active. In
addition is that the government provides a study with regards to this therefore whoever
assign to this profession is ready to spread a legit information to everyone.

4.What do you think are the major contributions of the Philippines to the field at
present?
I think the major contributions of the Philippines to the field at present are we are fond of
patronizing different technologies, and most of the Filipinos are also known with regards
to the inventions like for example are the Amphibious Salamander Tricycle by Victor
Llave, Medical Incubator by Dr. Fe Del Mundo which are well known up to this current
generation. To sum it up, Filipinos are creative enough to think outside of the box and to
conquer all of their curiosity about something that is resulted for the discovery or invent
things that is useful for human life and existence.

5. What policies do you want the government to implement in the near future?
- If I will have an opportunity to file a request on the government to what policies I want
to implement in the near future, I would suggest to provide a study of medicine that is
major to cure deceases which doesn’t have any solutions that can cause to a sudden
death of a person. Through this we have professionals who are there to cure and
prolong the life of the people who are in need. In addition is that to provide an
opportunity or job to the people regardless of their educational background, what I mean
is that lessen the requirements, qualifications, or standards for application purposes
because most of the people are experiencing breakdown because of lacking the
opportunity provided to them. Experience is always a requirement when we are applying
for a work, it always matter but does the employer know that you are a fresh graduate?
What I mean is that we must consider the people if they have a potential to accomplish
tasks properly. To sum it up, government must improve these kind of issues because it
is for our own welfare.
