[Grades 5-8] Understandings about Science and Technology Science and technology are reciprocal. Science helps drive technology; technology is essential to science…provides instruments and techniques that enable observations [Dawn Instrumentation Module] The Dawn mission, which incorporates ion engine technology, will enable scientists to “see” Vesta and Ceres “up close”. The information that results from this mission will be incorporated with that already known to either substantiate current scientific models of asteroid origins and morphology or to form the basis for new models. [Grades 9-12] 
Understandings about Scientific Inquiry Science often advances with the introduction of new technologies. Solving technological problems often results in new scientific knowledge.
