Strand 8: Impact of Science, Technology and Human Activity
1. The nature of technology can advance, and is advanced by, science as it seeks to apply
scientific knowledge in ways that meet human needs
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities

not meant to limit teacher or student
Concept A: Designed objects are used to do
things better or more easily and to do some
things that could not otherwise be done at all
Scope and Sequence: All Units

resourcefulness
a. Explain how technological improvements,
such as those developed for use in space
exploration, the military, or medicine have
led to the invention of new products that may
improve our lives here on Earth (e.g.,
materials, freeze-dried foods, infrared
goggles, Velcro, satellite imagery, robotics)
Concept B: Advances in technology often result
in improved data collection and an increase in
scientific information
Scope and Sequence: All Units
a. Identify the link between technological
developments and the scientific discoveries
made possible through their development
(e.g., Hubble telescope and stellar evolution,
R a. Students will identify and analyze ways
in which advances in science and
technology have affected each other and
society. (1.1; 1.2; 1.6; 1.7; 1.9; 3.8)
R a. Students will demonstrate links between
the technology and their use in everyday
objects. How have these technologies
been transferred from scientific use to
a. Students will explore what conditions
were like under different technological
circumstances in the past (e.g., inadequate
control of sewage, limited means of
preserving food, inefficient methods of
heating and lighting houses). They will
identify the products, processes or
technologies that have been developed to
improve these situations and consider
whether the short-term and long-term
benefits outweigh the short-term and
long-term risks.
a. Students will research and identify the
advances in surgical procedures that have
resulted from new technologies (such as
laser surgery, lapiscopic surgery, CAT
