Executive Summary
The report is about contrast between science and technology and its implementation in real life
use. Science and technology has contributed a lot in for having new technology and designing
proper tools and methods for new way of education. A brief comparison between science and
technology has been done. Science and technology can be used for development across various
curriculum and it can also be helpful in achieving long run and short term goals.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
The report is about comparison between science and technology with people dependency
on new technologies and services. Five contribution of science to the world are science can be
used as a source of new technology, helps in designing of proper methods or techniques, gives
different methods for laboratory, upgradation of human skill (Anderson & Boudart, 2012).
Science and technology has certain contribution to the different method using some standard of
education. Proper framework has been developed for achieving long run and short term goals.
Proper strategies have been discussed for having a development for student understanding.
Discussion
Comparison Between Science and Technology
Technology is way of using science in proper and useful way not totally depending on
computers and latest technologies. In previous days the invention of wheel was considered the
best example of technical advancement. Technology is associated or attached with each and
every object that is used by people throughout the day which is inclusive of certain things like
breakfast bowl, the car we use for transport, pen used for writing and flow of water in shower
(Copeland & McDonald, 2012). Magnets, torches, circuits having electrical components are just
few example of technology which everyone has explored in the early childhood days.
Contribution of science to technology: Relation between technology and science is
complex but it varies a largely with proper field and technology. For mechanical branch of the
contribution of science it relatively low on the contrary other branches of engineering are highly
depended on science and most of the invention is made by the help of different people.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
There are mainly five important contribution of science that are firstly science is used as
a source of new technology, science helps in designing of proper tools and techniques, provides
various instruments, laboratory and other methods, development of human skill (Dautray &
Lions, 2012). Opportunities for satisfying the social needs in a new and modern way is possible
just because of advancement in the field of science. Discovery of uranium fission has led to the
development of nuclear chain reaction, atomic bomb and nuclear power is considered as the best
examples. The process of designing is different from the method of developing new knowledge
which are closely related to each other.
Contribution of technology to science: Dependencies of technology on science and
science is a chain link model which is also known as linear sequence model (Dowson &
Higginson, 2014). There are generally five important parameters of this model like technology
can be used as source of new scientific challenges, proper instrumentation and measurement
techniques.
Science and Technology Development across Curriculum
Science teaching is considered to be complex method which uses some standard for
education of science. Standard of teaching provides some vision or idea about the goal. Standard
of science has four assumptions which are
 Certain vision of science for describing proper standard which works throughout
the total system
 Students generally get influenced by way it is taught.
 Various action of teachers is influenced by having perception of the science.
 Understanding is done through various individual and social methods.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Teacher of science can plan an inquiry based science program for their respective
students. By doing so teachers can easily develop a framework for long term and short duration
goals for students. Teachers can select a particular content of science and by this they can easily
adapt and design particular curriculum for meeting the interest, knowledge, better understanding
and providing experiences for students (Kinloch, 2012). Proper selection of teaching strategy can
help in supporting develop the understanding of various students.
Development of proper framework for long run and achieving of short term goals
Various teachers known that planning is considered as important factor for effective
teaching. One important parameter for planning is setting up of goals. In the development of
framework, it can helpful for science teachers for adapting goals which can be helpful the student
for gathering experiences and interest of various students as an individual or a group. As soon as
the teachers have designed a framework of goals the plan set to remain flexible and constant.
Teachers also change their goals and objective as per the analysis of the student. There are
certain challenges for science teachers is maintaining a proper balance between the needs with
the idea of long run goals. At the time of planning phase of the program goals are changed into
curriculum of particular topic and sequence of activities which can help the students in
performing activities which can help the students making sense of their world (Kostorz, 2013).
Frameworks in general allow option of teachers in selecting and determining topics and
performing various activities.
Science help in proper selection of content with proper designing and adaptation
While determining the particular content of science and activities which generally make
up the curriculum, various teachers must consider particular students who must show interest in

learning science. Teachers can easily understand the basic concept of science and their effects on
learning. Teachers should also consider their strength and interest and must take into account the
various resources which are available locally. Teachers can with the local personnel at science
rich centers for making plan of exhibition and educational program for enhancing the knowledge
on particular topic.
Proper selection of strategies for development of student understanding
In the past the year’s educators round the globe have developed many teaching and
learning model which are similar to classroom model of teaching. After making an analysis on
the pros and cons on the model teachers can easily check the relation between content of science
and the way how it can be taught easily (Pacchioni, Skuja & Griscom, 2012). Science teachers
must have a basic understanding about the fact that when to use whole class instruction,
collaboration of small group and work of individual. Plans of teachers must create a platform of
opportunities where students can easily learn about the various things related to science.
Planning can be considered to be important parameter on which various students are highly
dependent and helps in creating interest and cultural background for the students (Pappas, 2013).
Planning also depends on the social structure of the classroom and problem arising due to
diversification student groups. Individual and learning through collective planning can be
considered to be an important factor for science learning. Various schools round the globe must
provide teachers with proper time and easy access to their colleagues.
Conclusion
From the above discussion it can be clearly stated that now a various people inclusive of
students are depended on new technology and services. Five top contribution of science to the

world has been discussed in brief. These are science as a source of technology, deigning of
proper methods, development of human skill. Science and technology has made certain number
of contribution in setting up of some standard for different education. Right framework has been
developed so that long run and short terms goals are achieved in stipulated time. Right strategies
have been developed for making a proper understanding for the student.
