Science and Technology

This document provides an overview of science, its major branches, and the scientific method. It discusses chemistry, biology, physics, and their focus on composition/changes of substances, living things, and matter/energy respectively. The scientific method is outlined as identifying a problem, formulating a hypothesis, gathering information, testing the hypothesis, and verifying conclusions. Famous scientists such as Aristotle, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, and Einstein are briefly described for their significant contributions. The document also mentions some famous Filipino scientists and their works, and defines technology as applied science, providing examples of scientific discoveries that inspired technological inventions.

SCIENCE

is a systematized body of knowledge covering general truths and facts.


Major branches of
Science:
01 Chemistry

the study of the composition of substances and the changes they


undergo. Chemists work with reactions between substances to create
plastics, medicines, dyes, plastics and many other useful materials.

02 Biology

the study of living things. It has two main branches


a. Botany is the study of plants. The study of plants allows us to know
their uses. Most of the medicines you buy are made from the active
substances found in plants.
b. Zoology is the study of animals.

Physics
03 is the study of matter, energy, motion and forces. Physicists study the
forms and properties of matter and energy—heat, light, electricity,
magnetism and nuclear energy.

FAMOUS SCIENTIST

Aristotle (384–322 B.C.) was


the first natural philosopher
in the ancient world. He laid
the foundation for modern
scientific thought.
FAMOUS SCIENTIST
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543)
was a Polish scientist considered to
be the founder of modern astronomy.
He advanced the theory that the sun
is the center of the solar system and
that all of the planets (including the
earth) revolve around the sun. This
model of the solar system is now
known as the Copernican system.

FAMOUS SCIENTIST

Galileo Galilei (1564–1642) was a


mathematician, physicist and
astronomer. He proposed laws that
described the motions of falling
bodies, projectiles and the pendulum.
He studied heavenly bodies using the
telescope.

FAMOUS SCIENTIST

Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was an


English mathematician, physicist and
astronomer. He formulated the laws of
gravity and motion.
FAMOUS SCIENTIST

Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was an


English scientist. His greatest work
was The Origin of Species where he
discussed the theory of evolution and
natural selection.
FAMOUS SCIENTIST

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) proposed


the theory of relativity. This theory
debunked the Newtonian belief that
time was absolute. Surprisingly, he
won the Nobel Prize for his work on
photoelectric effect and not for the
theory of relativity.
FAMOUS FILIPINO SCIENTIST
Gregorio Y. Zara is noted for his
contributions in engineering. His
inventions are a source of pride for us
Filipinos. His inventions include the
video phone, an alcohol-fueled
airplane, a solar energy absorber, an
aircraft propeller that is made up
entirely of wood, a wooden
microscope and a semi-automatic
propeller-making machine.
FAMOUS FILIPINO SCIENTIST
Gregorio T. Velasquez is known for his
work in phycology. Phycology is the study
of algae. He devoted 30 years of his life to
studying an algae called Myxophyceae. He
was able to produce 47 basic and 77
valuable scientific papers on the subject.
Dr. Velasquez was also a good educator.
He taught and developed generations of
good Filipino biologists, some of whom
became members of the National Academy
of Science and Technology.
FAMOUS FILIPINO SCIENTIST

Alfredo C. Santos did research on the


chemistry of natural products and the
medicinal properties of Philippine plants.
His work on herbs showed the properties of
substances in local plants. His concern for
poor Filipinos who cannot afford expensive
drugs spurred him to conduct studies on
local materials needed for the development
of drugs.
FAMOUS FILIPINO SCIENTIST

Emil Q. Javier is known for his very


practical solutions to agricultural problems.
Because he knows that many farmers have
very limited resources, he thought of
practical methods of improving crop
production using cheap materials.
Technology is applied science.
Thomas Alva Edison based his
invention of the incandescent light
bulb on findings on electricity.
Among the first scientists to study
electricity comprehensively were
Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry.

The word technology comes from


the Greek word technologia which
means “systematic treatment of an
art.”
Alexander Graham Bell was inspired
to invent the telephone when he read
the work of German physicist
Hermann von Helmholtz. Helmholtz
made a study on sound waves.
Guglielmo Marconi invented the
telegraph. He based his invention on
the works of Heinrich Rudolf Hertz and
James Clerk Maxwell, physicists who
studied electromagnetic waves.
