Gregor Mendel, a scientist, used pea plants in a study to find out how heredity is passed through generations. He found out through observation and data collection how each trait is passed and came to conclusions no one before him had. Before his studies, we did not know as much or nearly at all about how traits were inherited from parents to their offspring. His study of these plants helped to shape the ideas we have about inheritance today. With his help we have developed a continuously…

1. This research was conducted to examine and test theories that tries to explain how adolescent react towards challenge and threat. This explores the implicit theories that explains how social stressors are perceived and interpreted by an individual. There is also biopsychological model of challenge and threat that tries to explain how one interprets an event as challenge or threat. Challenge will be recognize when there are resources to cope with the stressors, while threat is considered when…

Assignment: Professional Goals Statement The effective science teaching will help students develop a conceptual understandings and inquiry abilities necessary to be productive citizens and science learners for the rest of their life. It emphasizes engaging in and learning about scientific practice (Anderson, 2001; Crawford, 2007). For example, beginning elementary teachers who in the US are generalists; They may be lacking substantial science subject matter knowledge (Anderson & Mitchener,…

knowledge I would gain from it. Now I know that from the theories we read, blogs prompts we answered, and essays we wrote, I have a better understanding of writing, critical thinking, and the world itself. Before this class, I never had the need to think deeply about my writing. The papers I had to write in high school were simply answering a one-sentence long prompt. There was no need for research to back up my point, no balancing…

BIOL 104 – Week 1 Module: Process of Science questions 1. The seven common characteristics define our life. First, all organisms consist of cells and form a total organization. Second, all organisms are able to balance internal function and homeostasis. Third, as the environment changes, all organisms also change and develop. Fourth, all organisms need to absorb energy to maintain health condition, so that it can increase metabolism. Fifth, all organisms can overcome outside environmental…

Science was seen as blasphemy and a tool to undermine the construct of God. Moreover, it didn’t help matters that at the time, the Church was the governing body throughout Italy. This made it particularly difficult for scientific advancement, as any theory that suggested conflict with religious teaching…

ongoing discussion he would argue that even though they are not thought of as current mainstream scientific theories they are a part of our history. In the case of the geocentrism theory it was once believed to be truth until it was proven wrong. Even so, Mill would contest that this belief and those that opposed it lead us to the heliocentric theory and then eventually to that of Einstein’s theory of relativity (NASA,…

The scientific method is a procedure that is used by scientists now and in the past, dating back to the seventeenth century. The scientific method consists of observation, measurement, and experiment, and the creation and testing of hypotheses. There are several steps and different components to the scientific method that will (hopefully) answer the scientists’ questions, by the completion of the experiment. There are countless different reasons as to why a scientist would use the…

For my science lesson, I taught heat energy. During this lesson, students had to investigate what objects were going to melt when placed under the sun and why certain objects did not melt when we placed them outside. For this lesson, the level of inquiry that was implemented was level two because I told students what they were going to investigate and explore during the experiment, but students had to make their own conclusions based on what they observe. For this lesson, I planned to have…

In order to do so, one will use the theory of Erik Erikson 's psychosocial stages of life development, to assist with bringing the desired vision to life. The appropriate development stages would be generativity vs. stagnation, and ego integrity vs. despair. Generativity vs. stagnation stage…
