Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment
• Science and technology are different but related and interdependent
fields.
• Advancements in one will often lead to advancements in the other.
• Scientific discoveries and technological developments affect society.
• For example, new cancer research and medication and clean energy
sources affect society in positive ways.
• Society influences the direction of scientific and technological research.
• Science and technology have both a negative and positive effect on the
environment.

Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment
• Quick Activity: Break up into groups and discuss one of the
following topics (I’ll assign them). Give the class an explanation of
what each statement means (in your own words), and give a few
examples (at least 2)
1. Science and technology are different but related and interdependent
fields.
2. Scientific discoveries and technological developments affect society.
3. Society influences the direction of scientific and technological research.
4. Science and technology have both a negative and positive effect on the
environment.

• Science is a way of learning about the natural world
by making observations, asking questions, proposing
answers, and then testing those answers.
• Technology is the process by which humans develop
ways to satisfy some of their needs and wants.
• Science and technology are intimately related.
Advancements made in one can help further or
improve the other.
