which the knowledge from
science is being used to
make devices that makes
our lives easier and more
comfortable.

• Science and technologWhat is TECHNOLOGY_.mp4
30. • Science is used to develop and produce things which make
our lives better and more comfortable.
• Science is responsible for most of the comforts we enjoy on a
daily basis. Your cell phones, computer and game systems are
the result of many years of scientific research. Think about life
without your phone, TV, refrigerator, car, or electricity, life
would be very different from how it is today without science.
Also, imagine the future---- all the new developments will be as a
result of developments in science.
Science and Technology
33. S C I E N C E V S . T E C H N O L O G Y
• Science is an organized body of knowledge
gathered over many years through observations
and experiments.
• Knowledge from Science is used to develop and
produce things which make our lives better and more
comfortable.
• Technology on the other hand, is how science is used
or applied to make these things. Scientific concepts
are used to develop tools. These tools that are used
to make our lives better are referred to as
“technology”.
34. • Technology is how science is applied to mak
these things.
• Scientific concepts are used to develop tools.

knowledge in the field of science, they find out or
research about things.
• The research work that scientists do gives us

materials and to find new and more efficient ways of
doing things.
62. ALBERT EINSTEIN
Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879. He lived many
years in the United States of America. He was a scientist
who helped to explain how the sun produced its energy.
Einstein said that small amounts of matter could be changed
into large amounts of energy. His work helped developed the
use of atomic energy on earth.
63. THOMAS
EDISON
An American inventor who was born in 1847. From the age of 12 he worked
delivering newspapers. A few years later he became a telegraph operator and
began to invent new things in his spare time. Among his best known inventions
are the electric light bulb, the storage battery, the duplicating machine and
motion pictures. He invented the first phonograph (record player) the first
photographs were called ‘talking machines’. The first records were shaped like a
cylinder. They worked in a similar way to today’s records. By the time Edison
died in 1931, he had made more than 1000 inventions. We have many things by
which to remember him.

64. LOUIS LEAKEY
• Dr. Louis Leakey is one of the most
famous anthropologist of our time.
• He was born in 1903 and spent his boyhood living among the Kikuyu tribes in
Kenya. He lived and worked in Africa along with his wife and children.
• His family found the fossil remains of early humans or prehistoric man who
lived more than one million years ago.
• The Leakey’s also had a medical station in a rural area. From his research work
Dr. Leakey wrote books describing how early humans lived and on the Kikuyu
language
65. SIR ISAAC NEWTON
(1642-1727)
The influence Newton has had on our understanding of the
world is possibly greater than that of any other scientist.
He carried out major work on the sciences of light and
motion and developed the theory of gravity. He developed
new mathematical techniques including calculus so that he
could analyze observations of the movements of planets.

Dr. Avril Siung-Chang is a Marine Zoologist. She works at the
Institute of Marine Affairs in Trinidad and Tobago and lectures
occasionally at the University of the West Indies. Her work has
taught us a lot about life in the sea. She has studied mangroves
oysters and is able to advise about the best ways to grow and
produce them. She has also investigated pollution in the sea and
has advised on ways to prevent this pollution.
70. DR. THOMAS LECKY
• Was a Jamaican Farmer and scientist. He is known for his years
of careful and dedicated work in breeding a new species of cattle
called the ‘Jamaica Hope”.
• Using his knowledge of genetics, he cross-bred cattle for several
generations to obtain the type that he wanted. Dr. Lecky’s work
resulted in a new strain of cattle, the “Jamaica Hope’, which gave
high yields of milk as well as high slaughter weights. The cattle
were also adapted to the environmental conditions of Jamaica.
71. Dr. Manley West and Dr. Albert
Lockhart are co inventors of

work in this area.
• He was instrumental in the formulation of the ‘Caribbean Regional Energy Action Plan”
and “a Policy for Science and Technology in the Caribbean’
• As a child, he was keen on science and technology. From age 12, he was a radio
amateur operator using radio transmitters that he had designed and built from
components salvaged from old radios.
