Science

Science (from the Latin ?scientia?, meaning knowledge) is the effort to discover, understand, or to understand better, how the physical world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding. It is done through observation of existing phenomena, and/or through experimentation that tries to simulate phenomena under controlled conditions. Knowledge in science is gained through research. 

Technology 

Technology is a broad concept that deals with a species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species' ability to control and adapt to its environment. In human society, it is a consequence of science and engineering, although several technological advances predate the two concepts. Technology can refer to material objects of use to humanity, such as machines, hardware or utensils, but can also encompass broader themes, including systems, methods of organisation, and techniques.  

Scientists, Technologists, Mathematicians and Statisticians use observation, experimentation and research to make discoveries, add to our knowledge and solve problems related to almost every aspect of our lives. Careers are mainly at technician and professional levels, and most people in this sector specialise in a particular field. Work may be in a wide range of areas, including: 

Health and medicine - researching the causes of diseases and developing drugs;
 

The food and drink industry - researching and developing new products;
 

Earth sciences and the environment - studying the Earth, oceans and climate;
 

Materials science - studying the properties of materials such as metals, polymers and ceramics to provide innovative engineering solutions;
 

Mathematics - solving problems and analysing data in a wide range of areas such as engineering, electronics, finance, medicine, meteorology and science;
 

Statistics - gathering data and analysing it to identify and interpret trends;
 

Working conditions in Science & Technology vary according to your role. You could be working in a laboratory, office, or warehouse, on the factory floor, or outdoors. Some work will be with potentially hazardous substances.  

Scientists, Technologists, Mathematicians and Statisticians need to have a methodical and accurate approach to their work and be self-disciplined when analysing data to solve problems. Communication skills are important for sharing information with colleagues and customers. Scientists must also pay attention to health and safety regulations.
