    INTRODUCTION
    This lesson focuses on indigenous science and
    technology in the Philippines. Filipinos, especially
    during the early times, tried to invent
    Tools that will help them in everyday life. They also
    developed alternative ideas in explaining various
    phenomena and in explaining the world around
    them. This system of knowledge is called indigenous
    knowledge, which is the foundation of indigenous
    science.

    SCIENCE
     Is part of the indigenous knowledge system
    practiced by different groups of people and early
    civilization. (Gribben, 2001; Mkapa, 2004;
    Sabisi, 2004)
     Complex arrays of knowledge, expertise, practices
    and others.
     Collectively lived in and experienced by the
    people of a given culture. (Ogawa,1995)
     Includes everything, from metaphysics to
    philosophy and various practical technologies.
    (Cajete, 2004)
     Science is a part of culture, and how science is
    done largely depends on the cultural practices of
    the people. (Iaccarino, 2003)

    Provides the basics of astronomy,

    Figure 6. The Concept of Indigenous Science


    1. Indigenous science uses science process skills
    such as observing, comparing, classifying,
    measuring, problem solving, inferring,
    communicating, and predicting.
    2. Indigenous science is guided by culture and
    community values such as the following:
     The land is a source of life. It is a precious gift
    from the creator.
     The Earth is revered as “ Mother Earth” it is the
    origin of their identity as people.
     All living and non-living things are interconnected
    and interdependent with each other.
     Human beings are stewards or trustee of the land
    and other natural resources. They have a
    responsibility to preserve it.
     Nature is friend to human beings- it needs respect
    and proper care.
    3. Indigenous science is composed of traditional
    knowledge practiced and valued by people and
    communities such as ethno-biology, ethno-
    medicine, indigenous farming methods, and folk
    astronomy.
