STS Activity2

The document discusses the interactions between science, technology, and society as seen through the development of the microscope and telescope. It explains how scientific discoveries like the ability of lenses to magnify led to the invention of these tools, and how their invention then drove further scientific discoveries about microorganisms and heavenly bodies. These discoveries through technology then improved society through advances in medicine from microbiology and increased understanding of astronomy. Society also drove scientific progress through crises like plagues that motivated the search for causes and solutions, leading to technological developments like the microscope.
