Original Prompt

create a lesson that lists differences observed in design solutions with engineering, technology, and application to science

This resource explores the interconnected fields of science, engineering, and technology, outlining their definitions, goals, and real-world applications. Students learn to distinguish between the three disciplines, understanding how science investigates natural phenomena to discover underlying principles, engineering utilizes these principles to design solutions for problems, and technology encompasses the tools and systems that result from this collaboration. Through various examples, students see how practitioners in each field contribute to addressing real-world challenges, such as designing sustainable infrastructure or developing new materials. Additionally, the resource encourages personal engagement through brainstorming and design activities, enhancing students' understanding and appreciation of the practical implications of these fields in everyday life.
