How is TECHNOLOGY different than SCIENCE?

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY

Technology is the application of

knowledge.

Science is the accumulation of

knowledge.

SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGY is the use of

knowledge to turn resources into the

goods and services that

society needs.

SCIENCE is the study of

WHY natural things happen the

way they do.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST

Use the materials in the earth to make useful objects.

Study how the earth was formed

and what it is made from.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST

Build and launch space shuttles and satellites.

Study the relationship between the

earth, planets, and the stars.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST

Technologists create new

materials with improved

characteristics.

Study materials under a microscope

to learn why they have the

characteristics that they do.

limbs.

Discover the way the human body

works.

SCIENTIST TECHNOLOGIST

Use codes to develop new

medicines and vaccines.

Discover genetic codes that

determine the nature of life.
