Science is a field concerned with structured information obtained through objective observation and experimentation.
-
Technology is the combination of techniques, tools, systems and materials invented and used by humans.
Science and technology are omnipresent in the environment around us, in the objects we use everyday, and in all the spheres of human activity. The science and technology program brings together concepts from the five different sciences (chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy and geology), as well as from various fields of technological applications.
The section Science and Technology is divided into 4 “worlds”.
The Science and Technology section also includes useful tools to help you with reviewing, labs, workshops and more.
