Film Viewing.
1. Watch the World’s Greatest Invention
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYYyfAl9Usc)
and then answer the following guide questions.

“Great invention has a bind of elegance and a kind of projection. It doesn’t


solve one problem it opens up the opportunity to be applied to a variety
of problems and it opens up new opportunities”.

 Among the mentioned greatest invention in the video, for me the


wheel is the inventions created that has a huge impact in my life.
Even if it is the oldest technological devices being use in ancient time
up until now, wheel is still existing but in a huge development
brought by the 21st century technological advances.
Way back then wheel is being used in transportation together with the axle, then
turns into a cart being used by the farmers to transport the crops from farmland
to cities. And as time passes by it evolves into a versatile tool that ancient people
use as aid to everyday task. And in today’s modern world the simple machine like
wheel became the popular and it became the basis of all the modern
technological devices of today’s world
 Through the wheel, we have a better transportation today that we can
travel great distances in a matter of hour or minutes. As well as in making
machines for creating devices, satellites, plants, weapons, transportations,
establishments and so on. And thanks for inventing the wheel, we are now
able to travel, create, establish and even do an outside the earth research
studies.

Among the mentioned greatest invention in the video,


A. which do you think created the most impact in your life
now? Why?
B.
Name one invention and discuss how it
transformed the society

Electricity is one of the most important blessings that science has given to
mankind. It became part of our modern life that makes us human depend
on it. Modern means of transportation and communication have been
revolutionized by the electricity. Electricity also provides means of
amusement and entertainment in form of listening to radio, watching TV,
playing online games to computer or any mobile devices as well as in any
form of social media platform. Modern equipment’s and robots are also
being developed because of electricity.

 Electricity plays a pivotal role in the  Society was changed by the


field of medicine and surgery. discovery of electricity. It led to the
Through electricity some illness is invention of labor Saving devices
being cured by the help of machines both at work place, home,
generated by electricity and in architectural changes and in terms
modern surgery through the help of of improving the communication.

Today, much of the world is dependent on electricity. Society has become dependent
on communication devices. Many workplaces cannot operate without computers,
which need electricity. Electricity is also important for, the purpose and operation of
machines such as computers or monitors that display data to enhance medicine.
Without electricity, hospitals and medicine would not be able to cure illnesses, which
would also result in more casualties. In terms of education electricity plays a big role,
for having a proper ventilation rooms needs electricity as well as teaching tools such
as Flat screen TV or interactive TV, projector, laboratories and in tech-Voc courses such
as electricity, electronics, cosmetology, drafting, cookery, dress making and many
more, they are all electricity generated. As we notice, we are all depend on electricity
now a days and it means that electricity is in everywhere in today’s modern wold.

Watch Stephen Colbert’s interview with
Neil Tyson on YouTube
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXh9RQ
Cvxmg&noredirect=1) and then answer the
following guide questions.

1. Stephen Colbert starts the interview by asking Dr. Neil de Grasse


Tyson, “Is it better to know or not to know?” Ponder on this question
and decide which one is better. Give as many reasons as to why.
“Knowing” and “understanding” are related concepts, but they’re not the same.
Knowing is static, referring to discrete facts, while understanding is active, describing
the ability to analyze and place those facts in context to form a big picture. Without
knowledge, understanding is impossible. But having knowledge doesn’t necessarily
lead to understanding of a greater narrative. So for me, it is better to know and
understand because I believe knowledge is innate, in order to activate those
knowledge, we should know how to understand. I also believe that knowing without
understanding is a kind of ignorance. When we are able to know and understand, it
wouldn’t be difficult for us to act, judge or decide on what we are going to do. And
also the importance of having knowledge and understanding is we can’t avoid the
instances where in we are taking for granted. In relate to science, we all know that
science is a complex idea to understand, like what Dr. Neil de Grasse Tyson said,
without further knowledge in science, people don’t understand how does and what it
can do, because there is absence of understanding or misunderstanding of the power
of science and it makes people afraid. Although, like what Stephen
Colbert said that there was distrust in a certain level in science,
we should not blame the knowledge, it should be the behavior
of people in the presence of knowledge and like what Tyson
said, “we need better knowledge management”.
2. Enumerate the various statements that Dr. Neil de Grasse Tyson said about
the importance of science literacy and its relationship to society.

 By People think science literacy is being able to recite facts and that’s a part of it
but it’s not the main part of it. The main part is, how do you look at the world, how
does the world look through your lens.

 If you’re scientifically literate, the world looks very different to you. It’s not just a
lot of mysterious things happening. There’s a lot we understand out there. And
that understanding empowers you to first, not be taken advantage of by others
who do understand it.

 Kids are born scientists; they’re always turning over rocks or picking petals.
They’re always doing things that, by and large, are destructive. That’s what
exploration kinda is. You take stuff apart whether or not you know how to put it
back together. This is what kids do. An adult scientist is a kid who never grew up.

 Science is a way of equipping yourself with the tools to interpret what happens in
front of you.”

 There are issues that confront society that have science as their foundation, if
you’re not scientifically literate, you are disenfranchising yourself from the
democratic process and you don’t even know it.

 An increase in science knowledge would benefit
s society and everyone who lives in it.

 A society with a higher science literacy would be


able to make better judgements and decisions.
