    On October 15th, 2015 Caitlin, Christy and I visited the Long Island Children Museum to learn more about fun activities to do with children for a science lesson. When we first got there and looked around the first floor we all looked at each other because we didn’t think we would find anything here that had to do with science. After walking around the first floor for a little bit, we realized there were two sections here that had to deal with science. The first section we realized was called Bubbles and we didn’t go in it right away because there were so many little children in there and we didn’t want to bother them. So, then we went to the second section on the first floor which was called the Tool Box.…

    Why do students remember everything that is on television and forget what is taught in lecture? Students’ skills are best improved through practice, but before practice, observation is a key component to learning. For example, even if the students are given the steps on how to perform the return demonstration, they want to see the actual procedure to be more confident that they can accomplish it on their own. Students can use visual media as a way to retain concepts and ideas.…

    My Observing Project is on the show “Water is Life” from the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at The Griffith Observatory. My expectations for this show are everywhere, I am not one hundred percent sure what to expect but just looking at the title and the illustration, I expect to be based under the sea. I am also guessing it is going to show us how life is composed by water just using some context clues. One thing I want to learn more about, and maybe a little confused about, how is water related to “Astronomy” since Astronomy is the study of the Universe. The show “Water is Life” was real interesting, and made me feel and change my perspective on Astronomy.…

    From the magical rides to glorious castles, Disney World truly is a wonderland. As a child, I constantly dreamed of visiting the sites I saw in various Disney movies, and my dreams came to life once I had visited Disney World. Through every visit, my love grew, not only for the characters, but also for the intricate structures, and the amazing architecture used to create them. From styles ranging from Victorian to Gothic, the exposure to different styles of architecture was endless, and I was intrigued more and more with every passing second.

    Ecological design is a major part of our coming future and is necessary for the prosperity of our species as caretakers for the world. Sim Van Der Ryn and Stuart Cowan, in their book Ecological Design, address five principles in design that will help to move society in the right direction. These principles are: solutions from your place, ecological accounting, designing with nature, everyone is a designer, and making nature visible. It has been over the course of the last century that building designers and engineers have neglected the entirety of environmental impacts that went into their buildings. They have built, I believe, from a strictly human perspective with regard only to what the majority wants.…
