Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
We all understood that science is a part of everything we do, including working, cooking,
using energy, driving a car, using a cell phone, etc. I drew a naked man sitting on a stone and
sighing deeply based and based on that description, a life without science is pointless,
uninteresting, and resembles an endless path.
Analysis
What is the implication of your drawing and explanation to the modern development of
science?
The life that was meaningless, boring, and seemed to go on forever has become exciting
and meaningful thanks to science. Science will teach you new things, starting with cooking over a
fire and progressing to machines in the current world. navigating an ocean using from a paddle
boat now became pump boat and electric boat, etc. Science is capable of so many meaningful
things, and if it benefits induvial, how much more will it benefit our society?
Activity
Identify several Filipino scientists. Research on their contributions in the field of science
and examine what made them pursue a career in science and present your work in class.
1. Angel Alcala
Have you ever heard of the artificial coral reefs used for fisheries in Southeast Asia? Well,
Angel Alcala was the one who invented it. With his notable contribution to biological sciences,
his research on the Philippine amphibians and reptiles was honored, making his name appear
in the Asian Scientists 100 by The Asian Scientist Magazine (ASM). Also, his fieldwork i n
building sanctuaries and promoting biodiversity in the Philippines' aquatic system has made
him one of the outstanding National Scientists in the Philippines.
2. Fe del Mundo (+)
Regarding the child healthcare system, Fe del Mundo was a notable Pediatrics pioneer. She
founded the first pediatric Philippine hospital and focused on addressing what the country
lacked regarding medical equipment in specific communities like rural areas. And among her
remarkable contributions to the Filipino people, an incubator made out of bamboo is her most
famous invention. She has specifically designed the equipment so people who live in places
without electrical power can regulate the temperature of their infants well.
3. Geminiano de Ocampo (+)
Geminiano de Ocampo is the only National Scientist in the Philippines specializing in
ophthalmology. With his knowledge of eye care, he was the first person to diagnose and treat
specific eye problems in the country. He was the one who established the very first Philippine
eye hospital to help Filipinos get quality eye care. His corneal dissector is one of the essential
innovations, revolutionizing corneal transplant surgery.
4. Gregorio Zara (+)
Engineering and inventions that is what Gregorio Zara is known for. He was a scientist and
engineer in the country, passionate about science and technology. His most significant
invention was the videophone, which he patented together with 30 other devices for better and
more convenient communication among people
5. Julian Banzon (+)
As a pioneer in renewable energy, Julian Banzon uses his skill in producing alternative fuels
through his research methods. As he specialized in chemistry, it was easy for him to do this
incredible innovation, and he was even known for extracting resident coconut oil from the fruit.
With his outstanding research, he was able to help people not solely to rely on fossil fuels.
Assessment
