Science and Technology
Science is the process of seeking an understanding of underlying principles of nature. Science involves two facets: Technological (or factual) and philosophical (or theoretical). Technology is the direct application of knowledge to solve problems. Science grew out of natural philosophy or the philosophical speculation of nature
2
Science Scientific laws are descriptions of natural phenomenon. (Law of Gravity, Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter…) Many scientific laws can be stated mathematically. i.e., F= MA
3
Science A scientific theory is a set of tested ideas explaining events. Scientific theories are the best current explanation for natural phenomena. Theories are always tentative and may change as observations of nature change.
4
Science Scientific models are physical items or pictures used to represent invisible processes.
5
Limitations of Science
Science is limited to studying that which is observable, and natural processes in which variables can be controlled.
6
