Objectives:
1.) How does Science start and end?
2.) Explain the relationship between science and technology
3.) Describe the main branches of natural science and relate them to each other
Science involves asking questions about nature and then finding ways to answer them
These questions arise from the natural curiosity of human beings
Definition: science is a system of knowlege and the methods you use to find that knowlege
Science begins with curiosity and ends with discovery
What is technology:
Definition: technology is the use of knowlege to solve practical problems
Science and technology depend on eachother - advances in one leads to advances in the other
Physical science has two branches: chemistry and physics
The foundation of Earth Science is Geology - the study of the origin, history & structure of the earth
Focuses on Earth's rocks
The foundation of Space Science is Astronomy - the study of the universe beyond Earth
