TASK 1
A. The significant contribution of these intellectual thinkers during the middle ages in Europe to modern science :
1. Copernicus
-Nicolaus Copernicus proposed his theory that the planets revolved around the sun in the 1500s,
when most people believed that Earth was the center of the universe.
2. Darwin
- Darwin's greatest contribution to science is that he completed the Copernican Revolution by drawing
out for biology the notion of nature as a system of matter in motion governed by natural laws. With
Darwin's discovery of natural selection, the origin and adaptations of organisms were brought into the
realm of science
3. Freud

the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Some of the major tenets of psychoanalysis include the
significance of the unconscious, early sexual development, repression, dreams, death and life drives,
and transference.

- In Meso-America the Maya civilization made the greatest progress in science and
technology. Among its innovations were the position-value number system with zero,
the development of the most accurate known calendar,the invention of rubber and the
corbelled arch.
5. Asia

parasols, and kites. Some inventions of a more serious nature also appeared at this
time, like writing, irrigation, and map-making.
6. Africa
- Many advances in metallurgy and tool making were made across the entirety of
ancient Africa. These include steam engines, metal chisels and saws, copper and iron
tools and weapons, nails, glue, carbon steel and bronze weapons and art.

ANALYSIS
TASK 3
1. How is science always interwoven with the society?
- It helps us live longer and healthier lives, keeps track of our health, pro
vides medicine to treat diseases, eases aches and pains, aids in the pro
vision of water for our basic needs, including our food, gives us energy,
and makes life more enjoyable through sports, music, entertainment, a
nd cutting-edge communication technology.
- Science generates solutions for everyday life and help us to answer the
great mysteries of the universe. In other words, science is one of the
most important channels of knowledge.
- Science must respond to societal needs and global challenges.
2. Why were the ideas of the 3 intellectual thinkers Copernicus,
Darwin and Freud considered as revolutionary and controversial
that these contributed the spark of the scientific revolution?
- There ideas become revolutionary because they went against
the prevailing belief of the time.
3. Do you think the thought experiment of Copernicus is still useful
in science in the present time?
- Yes, It is still extremely useful. In my opinion, studying science
without doing experiments are just pointless.
4. Why are Darwin’s idea on evolution so important in science and
technology?
- Charles Darwin is centrally important in the development of
scientific and humanist ideas because he first made people aware
of their place in the evolutionary process when the most powerful
and intelligent form of life discovered how humanity had evolved.
5. How influential are Freud’s ideas in today’s society?
- Freud revolutionized the understanding and treatment of mental
disorders. He created the psychoanalytic theory of personality.
But beyond this, he profoundly changed our understanding of
humanity, thought, and culture.
6. Explain how scientific revolution transformed the natural world and the
world of ideas?
- It illustrated the capacity of the human mind, the Scientific Revolution
had an
impact on the emergence of individualistic values during the Age of Enl
ightenment.
Scientists' independence from institutional authority and ability to dra
w their own judgments validated their abilities and value.
ABSTRACTION
1. What made the scientific revolution the golden age in
the history of science?
- This period has been described as a "Golden Age of Science"
because of the wealth of discoveries in fundamental science and
engineering.

3.How did the developments in science and
technology shape human history?
- Technology has completely changed the way humans live, and
therefore has shaped human history. Telephones, the Internet, and

LESSON 2:
KRISTINE A. ZAMORAS BSED-ENGLISH, FIRST YEAR, 1-A
LEARNING TASK
Trace the development of science and technology from the Pre-colonial Philippines up to the present.
Here's the development of science and technology from precolonial period up to the
present:
800-1300 CE
basic thermometer
study of magnetism
invention of telescope, microscope, barometer
Isaac's three laws of motion
18th century
Binary system
first steam engine
invention of sextant, pyrometer
19th century
1. I've observed that the early inventions are just the ancestors of the inventions
nowadays. The devices that we have now are very hi-tech and really helps
people in their daily activities. Because of this, work done by people became
more simple as time goes by because the machines and devices that we have
nowadays are "upgraded" or "evolved" version of what we have during the
precolonial period. Also, the things developed on the early years are the
reasons why discoveries of our times became possible.

ANALYSIS
Task 3
1. How would you support the fact that science and
technology had been embedded in the way of life of our
ancestors since Pre-colonial Philippines?
- Its evident up until now
2. How significant are the contributions of the Spaniards and
Americans to the development of science and technology

our country?
- School science is very important for a rounded education. It
will pave the way to train your mind to explore scientific
methods. More than 60% of future jobs will require science
and math in advanced stages. Study your Filipino culture
and talk to people in the field who can tell you how science
will shape the future of the Philippines.
