Science tells us that objects will fall to the earth (law of gravity). Science explains why only certain plants are found on the Mojave Desert (plant ecology). Science tells us that steel exposed to oxygen will rust (chemistry). Science tells us that cross-pollinating plants will produce predictable results (biology). Science tells us that oil is most likely found near certain rock formation (geology).
On the other hand, technology deals with the human-made world. It is the study of ways people develop and use technical means - tools and machines. It tells us how to control the natural and human-made world. It is the study of the ways people use these technical means to transport, manufacture, construct, and communicate.
This is not to say science and technology are unrelated. Science deals with "understanding" while technology deals with "doing". Science helps us know how to do something efficiently.

Science is almost about everything, but the technology only covers the gadgets, machinery, technologies... technology is a part of science

Science is a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.
Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society, and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts, engineering, applied science, and pure science.

The goal of science is to explain the several phenomena that occurs in the Nature (we are not talking about Social Sciences), no matter it will be useful or not to something. Empiric knowledge, by itself, is not considered scientific knowledge.
Technology, uses all knowledge that brings practical results to produce goods or solve practical problems, no matter if this knowledge is empiric or has a scientific basis.
