Grades 9-12, page 47
Technological problems often create a demand for new scientific knowledge,
and new technologies make it possible for scientists to extend their research
in new ways or to undertake entirely new lines of research. The very availability
of new technology itself often sparks scientific advances.

Grades 9-12, page 175
Scientists rely on technology to enhance the gathering and manipulation
of data. New techniques and tools provide new evidence to guide inquiry
and new methods to gather data, thereby contributing to the advance of
science. The accuracy and precision of the data, and therefore the quality
of the exploration, depends on the technology used.
NSES Content Standard E
Science and Technology: Understandings about science and technology
Grades 9-12, page 192
Science often advances with the introduction of new technologies. Solving
technological problems often results in new scientific knowledge. New technologies
often extend the current levels of scientific understanding and introduce
new areas of research.
