3. Defining Science
Science:
Systematic knowledge of the physical or natural world gained through observation and experimentation.
Focuses on how and why things happen.
Scientists answer questions.

4. Defining Technology
Technology:
Application of knowledge to solve practical problems or to change/manipulate the human environment.
Focuses on making things happen.
Engineers solve problems.

5. The Scientific Method
The Scientific Method is a linear method for conducting an investigation that involves making an observation and performing an experiment to test a hypothesis.
Make an Observation
Propose a Hypothesis
Design an Experiment
Test the Hypothesis
Accept or Reject the Hypothesis
Revise the Hypothesis or Draw Conclusions
Technology:
Application of knowledge to solve practical problems or to change/manipulate the human environment.
Focuses on making things happen.
Engineers solve problems.

6. The Engineering Design Process
The Engineering Design Process is a systematic, iterative problem- solving method that produces solutions to meet human needs and wants.
Systematically applies mathematics and science to produce tangible products that meet human needs or wants.
