Any system of knowledge that is connected with EUROPE
the physical world & its phenomena & that
entails unbiased observations & systematic Fire is used by Hemo erectus
experimentation. Stone-headed spears are used.
Science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering Wooden bow & arrow are used in Spain &
general truths or the operation of fundamental Saharan Africa
laws. People in Southern Europe use sewing needles
from bone
Iron working in Greece
4 COMMON CHARACTERISTICS OF SCIENCE Etruscan Craftsmen make fake teeth from gold.
1. Focuses on the natural world or environment.
2. Goes thru series of experiments. (experiments can
also be done thru series of data collection method: AMERICA

4. Passes through the scientific community
Pottery is made in South America (Japan&Meso)
CHALLENGES OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY People in Arctic makes flint tools
1. Modification of previous knowledge & theories (e.g. Peruvians build long canal to irrigate crops
flat earth theory, geocentric to heliocentric) Fisherman in Peru makes rafts & boats from

4. Desire for status.
5. Effect upon values & norms (e.g. then & now of ASIA & OCENIA
children entertainment)
6. Too much accessibility leads to problems in Clay pots in Japan
privacy & other wrong uses. Iran make wine
Bronze in Thailand
WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY? Plow is invented in China & Mesopotamia
Boats with anchor (China)
The application of scientific knowledge to the
practical aims human life or, as it is sometimes Lunar calendar (China)
phrased, to the change & manipulation of the Clay pipes as drains (Pakistan)
human environment. Acupunctures (China)
Records sighting of a comet (China)
WHAT IS SOCIETY? Records solar eclipse (China)
This term has been derived from a Latin word Writing on bamboo/ paper made from bark
‘socious’ that means association or (China)
companionship. Thus, society means “a larger Hindu calendar with 360 days ( India)
group of individuals,who are associative with Natural gas for lighting (China)
each other”.
- China has many contribution because they are
smart and they have record/ they preserve it.
EFFECTS OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETY
POSITIVE
1. Field of medicine & education AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST
2. Faster/ easier production/labor Uses stone tools
3. Communication Begins chipping flakes off stones to sharpen for
NEGATIVE tools
1. Pollution Uses antlers to create tools for cutting & drilling
2. Misinformation Build houses from sun-dried bricks (Palestine)
3. Too much use of technology Clay tokens used for record keeping
