because you didn't answer all of the questions
Ms. Sue answered the first bunch of questions last night.

Jacob -- you might learn more if you followed directions. Bobpursley answered the questions in the post that I linked above.
He did nothing but give me links and that's not helpful
really? Good luck.
1. False. Science and engineering are related but distinct fields. Science is the systematic study of the natural world, while engineering is the application of scientific knowledge to design and create practical solutions.
2. True. Technology has a significant impact on society by changing how people live, work, communicate, and interact with the world.
3. Identify the problem. The first step in the engineering design process is to clearly define and understand the problem or challenge that needs to be addressed.
4. They both created technology that changed many aspects of everyday life. The industrial revolution (18th-19th centuries) and the digital age (20th-21st centuries) both brought about significant technological advancements that transformed various aspects of society.
5. Giving some plants more water than others. To conduct a fair test, all variables except the one being tested should be controlled. Therefore, giving some plants more water than others introduces an additional variable that can influence plant growth and invalidates the comparability of the results.
6. Technology often incorporates the latest advances in engineering. Engineering is involved in the design and development of technologies, and technology often relies on the advancements and principles discovered through engineering.
7. See if the results of an experiment are what the scientist predicted. Testing a hypothesis involves conducting an experiment or gathering data to determine whether the observed results align with the predicted outcome based on the formulated hypothesis.
8. It diminishes interpersonal skills. Technology designed for communication, such as social media or texting, can reduce face-to-face interaction and hinder the development of essential interpersonal skills.
9. False. While technology can bring about numerous benefits and advancements, it can also have negative effects on society, such as privacy concerns, social inequalities, and environmental impacts. The impact of technology on society depends on how it is developed, used, and regulated.
10. To provide an example of innovation in engineering. The example of a skyscraper illustrates the innovative design and engineering required to construct such tall and intricate structures. It highlights the advancements in engineering and how it has transformed construction practices.
11. Products created can change society, for the better and for the worse. Ethics in engineering is crucial because engineers have the power to develop technologies that can have profound effects on individuals, communities, and the environment. Ethical considerations help ensure that engineering solutions prioritize safety, sustainability, and the well-being of society.
12. It generates tools that make survival easier. Technology has allowed humans to thrive by creating tools, machines, and systems that enhance productivity, improve standards of living, and address various challenges.
13. False. While the steps in the scientific process (e.g., observation, hypothesis, experimentation, analysis) provide a general framework, they are not always strictly followed sequentially. Scientists often iterate and revise their approach based on new information and insights.
14. The plow. The plow was an important technological development predating the Middle Ages and was widely used in agricultural practices.
15. True. Most innovations build upon previous technologies, achieving progress by leveraging existing knowledge, discoveries, and inventions. Innovation often involves combining, improving, or repurposing existing ideas, technologies, or methodologies.
