    AGES
    • PHILIPPINES SETTING

    • Science, Technology and Society


    ANCIENT TIMES
    • People were concerned with
    1. Transportation and navigation – people
    travelled to search for food and find better
    location for their settlements. Navigation
    assisted them in their journeys to unfamiliar
    and strange areas in the world.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    Example: Sailboats (Sumerian Civilization) –
    essential in transportation and trading as well as
    in fostering culture, information and technology.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    2. Communication and record keeping
    Communication: to facilitate trade and prevent possible
    conflicts
    Record-keeping: to keep records of their history and culture so
    they could establish their own identities as they try to related
    with other cultures and civilizations.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    • Example: Paper/Papyrus (Egyptian
    Civilization)
    Bound Books/Codex
    (Roman Civilization)
    ANCIENT TIMES

    3. Mass Production:
    • the increased in population follows the
    increased in demand for food and other
    basic necessities.
    • Needed a form of technology that will
    increase food supplies and other
    survival needs.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    • Example: Irrigation and Dikes (Sumerian
    Civilization). Through the dikes and
    canals, the Sumerians were able to
    enjoy year-long farming and harvesting,
    which increased their food production
    • The Plow (Sumerian Civilization) : the
    plow was invented to dig the earth in a
    faster pace. With this tool, farmers
    could cultivate larger parcel of lands,
    enabling them to mass produce food
    without taking so much time and effort.

    to defend themselves from invaders.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    • Example: Gunpowder (Chinese
    Civilization).
    Great Wall of China
    ANCIENT TIMES
    5. Architecture:
    • The development of engineering
    allowed humans to build structures that
    would address specific needs and
    wants.
    • Elaborated structural designs were signs
    of technological advancement.
    ANCIENT TIMES
    Example: Roman Architecture(Roman

    MEDIEVAL/MIDDLE
    AGES
    The start of middle ages was marred
    by massive invasions and migration.
    Great technology was needed in the
    field of weaponry, navigation, mass
    food and farm production, and
    health.
    Some of the most innovative minds
    came from this period.
    PRINTING PRESS

    • Was invented by Johann


    Gutenberg to address the
    need for publishing
    books that would spread
    information to many
    people at a faster rate.
    MICROSCOPE
    • Zacharias Janssen develop the first
    compound microscope.
    • People were able to observe organisms
    that were normally unseen by the naked
    eye.
    • The microscope was key in discovering
    new means in preventing and curing
    various illnesses (Davidson, 2015).

    • National scientist
    • Designed the first bamboo incubator that saves
    many lives in rural areas.
    • An incubator is an apparatus used to maintain

    baby.
    Sustainable Alternative
    Lighting lamp (SALt)
    • Aisa Mejino
    • An engineer – professor developed SALt
    lamp that runs on salt and water.
    • Worked for Greenpeace Philippines for
    years and she felt the need to help
    fellow Filipinos living in a far-flung area
    denied by electricity.
    • Environment-friendly, safer to use since
    it does not emits toxic gase.
    Mosquito Ovicidal/Larvicidal
    Trap System
    (OL trap)
    • Department of Science and Technology –
    Industrial Technology Development Institute
    (DOST – ITDI)
    • This trap system is made of natural
    ingredients that are lethal to mosquitos but
    safe for humans and environment.
    Salamander Amphibious Tricycle

    • Dominic N. Chung, Lamberto Armada,


    and Chief designer Victor “Atoy” Llave
    • Invented the Salamander , that can
    cross not only flooded streets but also
    rivers and lakes.
