Historical development of science and technology
1. Historical Development of
Science and Technology
•Century of the Genius
•Industrial Revolution
•18th and 19th Century
•Modern Era
Prepared by:
Maria Niña C. Leonoras
2.
3. •Emerged most fully during the
Eighteenth-century or
Enlightenment Period.
•Age of Enlightenment is also known
as Age of Reason.
•Science during the 18th century falls
into two categories:
•Baroque Period
•Classical Period
4. Started in the 17th century and
lasted to the early 18th century;
lasted into the early 19th century.

6. Birthplace: Pisa, Italy
Best Known As: The inventor of the astronomical telescope
Discovered a number of natural laws
Invented the microscope
Constucted a telescope
“Father of Modern Astronomy”
“Father of Modern Physics”
“Father of Science”
7. Birthplace: Weil der Stadt, Wurttemberg (now Germany)
Best Known As: The astronomer who explained planetary motion
Engaged in the study of astronomy and developed the laws
of planetary motion.
1. “The orbit of a planet about a star is an ellipse with the star at
one focus.
2. A line joining a planet and its star sweeps out equal intervals of
time.
3. The squares of the orbital periods of planet are directly
proportional to the cubes of the semi-major axis of the orbits.
8. Birthplace: La Haye, France
Best Known As: The philosopher who said "I think, therefore I am
Often called the father of modern science.
He took as his philosophical starting point the statement Cogito
ergo sum -- "I think, therefore I am.“
made major contributions to modern mathematics, especially in
developing the Cartesian coordinate system and advancing
the theory of equations.
9. Birthplace: Clermont-Ferrand, France
Best Known As: 17th century mathematical genius
A prodigy in math, Blaise Pascal was a contemporary and rival
of René Descartes.
He published a significant work on the geometry of conical
sections when he was only sixteen; he invented a calculating
machine by the time he was nineteen; he and Pierre de Fermat
founded the modern theory of probability; he described the
principle that is the basis for the hydraulic press (called Pascal's
Law); and he proved that there was a vacuum above the
atmosphere.
10. Birthplace: Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France
Best Known As: Pascal’s correspondence in the formation of the
modern theory of probability.
He is particularly famous for his 'last theorem', which he
discovered in about 1637, and of which he claimed he had a
'marvellous demonstration'.
He became a judge, but he had a passion for mathematics and
obtained many mathematical theorems, which he communicated
to fellow mathematicians, always remaining very secretive about
his proofs.
11. Birthplace: Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England
Best Known As: The genius who explained gravity
Newton helped define the laws of gravity and planetary motion,
co-founded the field of calculus, and explained laws of light and
color, among many other discoveries.
12. Birthplace: Lismore Castle, County Waterford, Ireland
Best Known As: 17th century chemist who came up with Boyle's
law (law of pressure)
Robert Boyle was a 17th century intellectual whose emphasis on
experimentation and quantification helped lay the foundation for
modern chemistry.
He is known for Boyle's law, which states that the pressure and
volume of gas at a constant temperature have an inversely
proportional relationship
13. Birthplace: Folkstone, London
Best Known As: Studied the circulation of blood and function of
the heart
Harvey understood that the heart pumped blood from the atria
into the ventricles and then into the rest of the circulatory system,
he had no knowledge of the influence of oxygen in the blood nor
knowledge of the existence of capillaries.
14. Birthplace: Capodistria, Venice
Best Known As: Invented body thermometer
Italian physician, a pupil of Galileo at Padua
Measured his own weight, weight of food consumed and urine and
faeces produced, and attributed the difference to ‘insensible
perspiration’, which we would now call metabolism leading to
carbon dioxide production.
15.
16. • Process of change from an agrarian,
handicraft economy to one dominated
by industry and machine manufacture.
• Process began in England in the 18th
century and from there spread to the
rest of the world.
17. Technological Changes:
1. Use of new basic materials, chiefly iron and steel
2. Use of new energy source
3. Invention of new mqachines
4. New organization of work known as the factory
system
5. Important developments in transportation and
communication
6. Increasing application of science to industry
18.
19. • By definition, it lasted from 1801-1900
according to the Gregorian Calendar.
• Lead to the second Industrial Revolution
through the invention of useable electricity,
steel and petroleum products.
• Age of machine tools (tools that made
tools)
• Assembly line speed up factory production
• Gave birth to professional scientist
20.
21. • Science through the 20th century
• Inventions have progressed at an
accelerated rate
• Began the infancy of airplanes,
automobiles, spaceships, computers,
cell phones and wireless internet.
22. • Science of microengineering.
(deals with particle manipulation if
those particles are smaller than 100
nanometers.
• Essential core is atomic and
molecular manipulation.
23. • “Screenagers”
• Digital Students
• Can absorb great deal of information at
super-charged speed
• Masters of varifying types of technology
• Innovators, creative designers, critical
thinkers, collaborators, complex problem-
solvers
• Students who learn while having fun.
