...Our project specifically focused on the DNA sequence analysis of the genes in duckweed and how those genes fit into bioremediation. As an intimidated and shy freshman with a strong yearning to be part of the science community at my school, decided to join the intensive program with barely any knowledge about biology. It didn't seem like a smart move at the time, but I'm glad that I had persistence because I learned so much about the field through the guidance from the team. Exploring PCR and Restriction Digests, my group and I were able to publish new proteins on the national GenBank. I learned more about biology and how to work/perform in a team. This motivated me to join the Science/Biology Olympiads where we do independent research and come together as a team to compete. I found that these opportunities along with the research in my science classes not only help me learn actual science but provide me with valuable life skills that will help in the...

...Importance of the culture of science Scientific development, prosperity and welfare are dedicated to all men of all nations. The culture of science is inevitable as one of the tools of gradual development of civilization in fields, like food, cloth home, medical treatment, education, industrial mills, conveyance and transport, communication and exchange of information, information – management, the extraction of natural wealth and preservation space – research etc. During the middle of the 18th century new industrial mills were established in England with the help of newly discovered machines, steam engine and various kinds of machines. As a result production increasing manifold. This new era of industry is called a industry revolution It has been possible to goods and their sale increased. The following that below: 1. a.

...Introduction Children (pupils) participating in practical work when teaching science should be an integral and essential part of science in primary school, children learn best by doing. It provides experiences through which pupils can develop their own understanding enabling them to link between content and the physical worlds by experiencing, discovering, exploring, socialising and observing. It teaches techniques and skills for handling equipment and materials safety and it promotes development of scientific reasoning, so that pupils can understand through experience, the importance in supporting explanations. Field is a great way to greatly enhance pupils’ young mind with new or reinforce knowledge to them; as well as skills, Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences will take into effect on these events and practical “doing” of teach science to pupils. Many of us are familiar with three general categories in which people learn: visual learners, auditory learners and kinaesthetic learners. Beyond these three (3) general categories, many theories and approach towards human potential development. Gardner’s early work in psychology and later human cognition and human potential led to the development of the initial six (6) intelligences. These are verbal – linguistic (well...

...and a purpose, for a majority of the people of the world. A case should be made for science and science education in the developing world, a case for optimal support for science and education even in the poorest and the least-developed of the countries of the world. Science teachers experience various constraints, such as lack of time, equipment, pedagogical content knowledge, and pedagogical skills in implementing reform-based teaching strategies (Crawford, 1999, 2000; Roehrig & Luft, 2004, 2006). One way to overcome...

...last piece of the puzzle and making everything click is indescribable, a rush of adrenaline runs through my body and for a brief moment I am on top of the world. My brain is wired to enjoy solving problems logically, which is why I have always been so attracted to computer science, a subject founded on problem solving. Every algorithm that runs smoothly, every piece of hardware that configures without issues, every large project that wraps up on schedule, are all small victories that make it all worth it and fill me with purpose. All aspects of a computer’s inner workings are fascinating to say the least, understanding how a device or service functions can shift one’s perspective of the world and make them see their day-to-day menial tasks in a new light, which is what happened to me....

...Introduction Science evidently contributes a lot to the society for it develops and shapes the world as it is today. Humanity continues to be in awe in the beauty of Science. New ideas, technologies and other inventions can be offered to the world to make life more convenient. Apart from that, it aids us in understanding the facts, laws, principles and knowledge on what is happening around the world. Therefore, it is advantageous to introduce Science to children in their early years of growth. Science Education in the early years are as important as other learning domains. It benefits children in the long run. Harlen (2010a) cited that children are responsible in their development or the change in their ideas. Children as we often say, are...

...DEMYSTIFYING DATA SCIENCE: A BEGINNER’S GUIDE If you haven’t heard the term “Data Science”, then you are lagging behind the time my friend. “Data Scientist: The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century” - Harvard Business Review. What is Data Science? Let’s keep this short and simple, Data Science is a science of making sense of data. Saying goes that data is the new oil. While big Data engineers take care of extracting the crude oil, transporting to tankers, routing through pipelines and then storing it into massive storehouse, it is the data scientists who refined the crude oil. Data Science is the art of finding what we don’t know from data. It is about creating data products that can be useful for decision making. Data science helps in building...

...As science becomes more advanced, there are more concerns about the ethics of scientific experimentation, which begs the question of whether or not scientific discovery falls in line with the morals of society. The simple answer is that it does not. Unrestrained scientific exploration is unable to stay within the confines of what society considers moral. Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde explores this concept through the ways Dr. Jekyll’s transformation potion affect society. The issue of how science interferes with morals is also illustrated in an article which explains the controversy surrounding the ethics of human cloning, taken from Project Muse which was published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

...Consider the importance of essay writing to academic practice in the social sciences, with particular reference to Priest (2007) and Ballard and Clancy (1988). Draw on SSK12 materials and your own experience. In this essay I have stipulated the importance of essay writing in the social sciences outlining knowledge development, bringing fourth the importance of linguistics with the understanding of cultural laws and language within the areas of social science, showing the importance of jargon language with comparisons between two subjects and what is expected from the student in the governing of essay writing. I have also reflected upon essay writing from a teachers perspective, noting the expectations a teacher looks for in essay writing, and adding my perspective with an understanding of the essay cultural system. I have also outlined my experience with the understandings of cultural expectations in disciplines and essay writing concerning linguistics. The importance of essay writing academically in the social sciences is structured in the knowledge internalization, the student writes about the facts that have been a subject of a lecture or read in an article, furthering the knowledge and retention of a given subject, “learning to write essays is empowering. It is learning to take one’s place in the world of ideas” (Priest, 2007). The importance also lies in the intellectual development of a students knowledge...

...The importance of science and the ways of expressing scientific ways of life to the world. The start of scientific rules and the ways to explain the methods it follows .Science is based on methods that explain the way science goes on around the world and what is the importance of it that helps people understand things beyond imagination (Thomas Samuel Kuhn). The scientific ways of expressing the world and how it generates based on its history. The importance of science, the scientific methods, and the scientific expression of how the world generates based on its history are the three major descriptions of science. One of the important facts about science is the start of scientific rules and the way to explain the methods it follows (See Appendix 1). Science is based on the knowledge that humans have to know the mystery behind things that cover the truth behind something. Science has many rules that have been passed on by one of the greatest scientists that discovered the ways of life and things that were not predictable. The scientific method is a procedure of six steps they are stating the problem, collecting information, forming a hypothesis, performing experiments, analyzing the data (Alhazen), and making a conclusion. The first step to the scientific method is to stat the problem in which you wish to Answer. The second step is collecting information on the question answered. Making observations and study the things on the question you have more knowledge on the problem...

...The Challenge of Communicating Science to the Public By Charles R. Chappell and James Hartz Developments in science and technology affect virtually every aspect of our lives, from our physical health to the kinds of cars that we drive. Improvements in technology have contributed substantially to increased productivity in U.S. industry. Yet in recent years, political pressures to balance the federal budget have eroded the proportion of the budget devoted to basic research, the underpinning of scientific and technological advances. Scientists have understood the potentially debilitating consequences of this, but many citizens have not. President Clinton's budget for fiscal 1999 would begin to reverse this trend, if Congress accepts his proposals, but our information media still need to do a much better job of helping scientists communicate the substance and importance of their work. As visiting scholars at the Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University, we conducted a survey of 2,000 journalists and editors and 2,000 scientists and engineers to determine how the two groups felt about each other. We also wanted to find ways to improve their relationship and thus increase the amount of accurate and useful scientific information in the media. The results of the survey, published in our recent report, "Worlds Apart," showed that neither scientists nor journalists think the media do a good job of explaining science to the public. We asked both groups to rate...

...The importance of science education for children Published 03/11/2008 Science Communication 17 Comments Tags: Science Education One of the features of wordpress is a list of what web searches have led people to your blog (or at least hits anyway) and they themselves can be fascinating glimpses into what people are interested in or what information on (mostly Tyrannosaurus and Jurassic Park). A recent one was the title of this post and it is a very interesting question (precisely it was “what is the importance of teaching science to children?”). Apart from the fundamental answer (well, everyone should know a bit about biology, chemistry and physics, much as they should know a bit about history, geography, art and maths) it is a good question. What does science bring to the table? It’s hard to put in specific terms, but science as a concept (as opposed to just learning facts and theories, or heating stuff in test tubes) has some nice ideas to offer that would be useful for many people to learn and would be useful throughout their lives. Concepts such as logical deductions and inference, parsimony, and not accepting arguments (or dismissals) based on authority but from evidence, and scepticism would all be handy. Teaching someone how to appraise and evaluate conflicting evidence and any bias in that evidence would be useful ‘life skills’ for pretty much everyone. Let’s face it, it ultimately comes down to trying to spot patterns, work out reasons for them, and to spot errors...
