    In ancient times, early humans developed tools and techniques for hunting, gathering, and farming, laying the foundations for science and technology. During Classical Antiquity, Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle established the earliest forms of the scientific method based on reasoning and observation. Egypt also made contributions, with Alexandria becoming a center of learning and the Edwin Smith Papyrus documenting early medical practices. Overall, these periods saw the emergence of concepts and approaches that shaped the development of science.

    Learning Outcomes
    1. Discuss the interactions between S&T and society throughout history.
    2. Discuss how scientific and technological developments affect society
    and the environment.
    3. Identify the paradigm shifts in history
    4. Creatively present the importance and contributions of Science and
    Technology to society
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    • The history of science and technology is long. In this history, science
    and technology have a strong interaction with society. But before
    discussing these interactions and its history, we need to first answer:
    Question:

    What is science?
    What is technology?
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    • What is science?
    1. ‘Science’ is a body of knowledge that seeks to understand the
    natural world. In this sense, ‘science’ seeks to understand and
    explain the natural things and phenomena such as pollination,
    volcanic eruptions, and constellations.
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    • What is science?
    2. Science as an idea
    I includes ideas, theories, and all available systematic explanations and
    observations about the natural world and physical world
    3. Science is an intellectual activity
    It refers to the process of systematic and objective investigation or
    understanding of the natural world. This process includes observation, and
    experimentation.
    4. Science is a personal and social activity
    This makes science a way for humans to understand themselves and their
    world. It also means that science is connected with everyone’s life and the society.
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    • What is technology?
    1. Technology is artifacts
    In this definition, technology refers to products, inventions and
    outputs such as the microscope, solar panel and light bulb.
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    • What is technology?
    2. Technology is a technique
    In this definition, technology refers to practices, methods or
    steps such as genetic engineering, rice planting and welding.
    3. Technology is a personal and social activity
    This makes technology a tool for humans to improve themselves,
    and their everyday life. It also means that technology is
    connected with the society and everyone’s life.
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    Science and Technology
    Science and Technology have a dual interaction which means
    that they influence each other

    Science is required with the development of technologies. In the


    same way, technology is needed to advance science

    Science Technology
    Introduction to Science and Technology
    • Science, Technology and Society
    Given that both science and technology are social activities, they
    also have dual interactions with society
    Ancient World
    History of Science No one exactly knows when science and technology began.
    However, the earliest known technology are the stone tools (i.e.
    and Technology scraper, hammer) used by humans during stone age
    Ancient World
    History of Science Later, early hunters, gatherers and foragers developed skills and
    techniques to use tools and make weapons, to use fire, and to
    and Technology identify edible plants and animals. The knowledge and practice
    spread as they migrated across continents
    History of Science and Technology

    Ancient World
    Nearly 10,000 years ago, as the
    population grew and naturally
    available food sources
    declined, humans started to
    domesticate plants and
    animals. This preceded the
    Agricultural Revolution which
    started somewhere in the
    Middle East.
    History of Science and Technology

    Ancient World
    Agricultural Revolution lead to the
    development of towns. New plants
    and animals were being grown for
    consumption. In this period,
    humans started to develop sun-
    dried bricks, ceramics, mortars and
    even metal products. The first
    known metal used by men is copper
    (6500 BCE).
    History of Science and Technology
    Ancient World
    By the end of the Agricultural Revolution, many products made from
    copper, bronze and iron. Development of ceramics also prospered.
    Wheels were developed for transportation. Writing was invented.
    History of Science and Technology
    Ancient World
    After the Agricultural Revolution, scientific knowledge and
    technological advancements led to the rise of civilizations. These
    civilizations paved the way to more advancements in science and
    technology. Evidences of these are the many infrastructure built such as
    irrigations, roads and bridges.
    Discussion
    In the ancient world, many technologies were developed to serve the
    needs of humanity.
    Questions:
    What were these technologies? What were their impact to society at
    that time? Do we still see those technologies today? If not, what
    technologies are similar or may have evolved from these ancient
    technologies?
    History of Science and Technology
    Classical Antiquity
    The next period is called Classical Antiquity, which was
    dominatedby the Greek and Roman civilization. It was during
    this period when the current concept of science began.
    Specifically, it started with the Ionian School of Philosophy,
    which introduced the earliest form of scientific method, based
    on reasoning and observation.
    History of Science and Technology
    Classical Antiquity
    The most notable Greek philosophers of this period are Socrates, Plato
    and Aristotle. They laid the foundation of modern-day science. They
    initiated the discipline of understanding of the universe and the natural
    world using the earliest form of scientific method.
    Classical
    Antiquity
    • Socrates
    Socrates is known for his method of
    inquiry called elenchus. Using this
    method, aproblem must be broken
    down into a series of questions that
    need to be answered. This is the
    basic of the current concept of
    making hypothesis for a specific
    research problem.
    Classical
    Antiquity
    Plato
    Plato is a student of Socrates.
    Plato believed that all substances
    are made up of earth, air, water
    and fire. He always emphasized the
    concept of proof and insisted on
    having concrete and clear
    hypothesis in understanding
    nature.
    Classical
    Antiquity
    Aristotle
    Aristotle is a student of Plato. He is
    known for his deductive method of
    scientific inquiry. He believed that
    natural principles can be identified
    through careful observation, which
    is another foundational component
    of the scientific method.
    Classical Antiquity
    In Egypt the city of Alexandria became a center of scientific knowledge.
    One of the first important scientific text from Africa is the Edwin Smith
    Papyrus. It is a medical text about ancient surgery methods. Also,
    knowledge in Chemistry was applied in ancient cloth tanning,
    indigenous distillation and fermentation.
