In this section, we have the second mini science lesson reflection. For the second lesson, I did a scientific experiment activity with my peers, the floating orange experiment. For this experiment I used questioning and incorporated the I notice, I think, I wonder strategy to further the learning and curiosity towards the scientific aspects of the lesson. This second part of the blog will cover and discuss the three main points for this lesson. Starting off, this section will begin with a…
It is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon .A hypothesis is an educated prediction that can be tested. It is a specific, testable, prediction. Hypothesis describes in concrete turns what you expect will happen in a certain circumstance or situation. It is an assumption based on reasoning. One predicts the outcomes basing on reasoning, basing on something that can be tested and supported. It is a tentative prediction about the nature of the relationship between two or more variables.

Counseling is both an art and science. Counseling requires an interpersonal communication between the pharmacists and the patient and/or his care giver regarding the disease, medications and lifestyle modifications. There are no universal or predetermined methods of counseling because there is inter individual variation between patients and treatments differ from patient to another. (Aref et al, 2013; Alam et al, 2007; Klijn et al, 2017) Inhalers are cornerstone in asthma management and…
questions raised regarding many different topics paranormal phenomena. Some people claim to have experienced paranormal activity in their lifetime. However, in science a paranormal phenomenon is unaccepted. There is always a logical explanation for everything occurring around us, but like in every situation, there are those who disagree. Robert Sheaffer explains, “ Skeptics are so close-minded, they ignore all the evidence that doesn’t fit their beliefs” (84). Yet, there has never been a true…
Reaction time to visual stimulus aid in everyday parts of life, and can be affected by a variety of factors. In this experiment, we look at the role that neural connections between dominate and non-dominate hands play in reaction time. We observed the reaction time to visual stimuli of subjects with their dominate and non-dominate hand through a computer program at a known location,” which recorded the individuals reaction time to a visual stimuli, the x, on the computer. The experiment tested 4…
One development theory discussed in class is Chickering’s Theory of Psychological Development in College Students. This theory is specifically focused on how a college student matures mentally throughout their college experience. Chickering created seven vectors of development to explain his theory of development. A vector is a recurring issue that drives growth and development in the personality. People are forced to change or adjust to a new environment when their current behavior clashes with…
In Class-Observations/Procedures: We started the lab by getting everything ready. First, we had to read the lab manual and the textbook before we were allowed to start the lab. As soon as we finished reading, Mr. Buncic handed out the sheep brain to us, and also our classmates. Followed the manual and the class notes, we skipped step 1, which was to clean the sheep brain. We measured the sheep brain length and width and got its length to be about 9.5 cm, and its width to be around 4.5 cm (fig.1)…
1. The first theory that truly caught my eye and that I had questions about was the “Labeling/shaming” theory. This one stood out due to two main reasons, the first is because everything that is happening within our society and has happened over the past year or so and how that has to played into this theory. The second is how Americans label people when yes, they have committed a crime, but even if it wasn’t a significant crime, they are still considered a “criminal” within our society. The…
Locke’s Essays on Human Understanding continue to be taught, discussed and debated today. In particular, Locke’s personal identity theory is considered to still be extremely relevant in modern times. In personal identity theory Locke explains the distinction between the definition of words, such as human, person and substance, which he claims are often used to convey the same meaning. Then Locke discusses the main factor that suggests the sameness of personal identity – consciousness, and…
essential materials included in the building of the house, it would merely be a pile of bricks with no structure and meaning. Henri Poincare uses this house as a metaphor for science. He ultimately compares the building of a house to shaping a stream of theories and facts into logical text. The relationship between the parts and the bricks must be significant in completing the task. Without this relationship between the parts and the bricks,…
