Science Then Technology
Science asks why: why does a current make a magnetic field? After we understand it, technology is the useful object or method: the electromagnet, the electric motor, the generator, the thermometer. A straw "sucks" because we understood air pressure, not because of magic.

Science Then Technology: Science asks why: why does a current make a magnetic field? After we understand it, technology is the useful object or method: the electromagnet, the electric motor, the generator, the thermometer. A straw "sucks" because we understood air pressure, not because of magic.
What you should learn
- Define and explain science then technology.
- Apply science then technology to a focused FBISE question.
- Check the answer for correct terms, evidence, working, and units.
Examples
- why
- useful object
- understand
CORE UNDERSTANDING
Science asks why: why does a current make a magnetic field? After we understand it, technology is the useful object or method: the electromagnet, the electric motor, the generator, the thermometer. A straw "sucks" because we understood air pressure, not because of magic.
EXAM APPLICATION
State the correct term, connect it to the chapter rule or evidence, and use a clear example or calculation.
