  2. Why do we need to focus on SET? • Did You Know? • Youtube.com Video • Search “Did you know?”

  3. So what does it all mean?

  4. What is Science? Science..."knowledge and understanding" • Science is when people try to understand the world and nature by observing things and doing experiments.

  5. Process of Science Inquiry • Ask a question • Plan and conduct an investigation • Use simple equipment or tools to gather data. • Use data to create an explanation. • Communicate investigation and explanations.

  6. What is Engineering? Engineering..."conceptualization and design" • Engineering is taking the science we know, the math we know, and experiences we have had and using these to create something that benefits society.

  7. Engineering Process • Identify the need. • Research the need. • Develop possible solutions. • Select the best solution. • Construct a prototype. • Test and evaluate the solution. • Communicate the solution. • Redesign.

  8. What is Technology? Technology..."tools and applications" • Technology is the process of turning something in nature into something we want or need. Technology is not just computers, TVs, and cell phones!

  9. Technology Process • Identify a problem. • Propose a solution. • Implement a solution. • Evaluate the product or design. • Communicate the solution.

  10. How is 4-H implementing SET?

  11. One Million New Scientists. One Million New Ideas.TM • For over 100 years, 4-H has been at the forefront of teaching youth about science, engineering, and technology. • 4-H National Youth Science Day is an important annual part. • Goal of attracting one million new youth to science, engineering and technology programs by the year 2013.
