Atomic theory

talk about the importance of science within the curriculum and how it is delivered in primary classrooms. Furthermore, I will be analysing the importance of teachers’ subject knowledge in Science and the way children learn by examining a range of theory and research findings. By using the lesson plans provided, it will also help to look at effective teaching strategies and the possible…

Would you want to know your future, of the future of society and be powerless to change it? The Arrows of Time by Greg Egan discusses this very question, explaining the physics that enable this technology along the way. I was intrigued by the ethical problems posed in the book, as well as the self-consistent science that made this conflict possible. Although the science explanations sometimes go overboard with fine details, each explanation serves a purpose in accelerating the plot. Egan uses…

formulate these brilliantly simple representations of nature? The Lewis Dot Structures we know today actually derive their functionality from Lewis’ own model of the atom, the Theory of the Cubical Atom. This essay will explore the functionality of Lewis’ cubical atom and how this model led to the Lewis Dot Structures. The Theory of the Cubical Atom was first published in 1916 in the article The Atom and the Molecule; however, it was developed fourteen years prior in 1902. The model’s purpose…

NOVA’s “the Fabric of the Cosmos: Quantum Leap” with Brian Greene “Quantum Leap” not only explores how much the quantum atom has changed our view of the rules that govern our universe, but also how much is has, or will, benefit society. How did science arrive at the quantum atom, and what benefit did (or will) we gain from each of the developments that led us to the quantum atom? After the analytical evidence was gathered by Sir Joseph John Thomson from the scientists before him to create the…

Since life began before human civilization, there is no sure answer, but through experimentation, scientists have come up with a theory. Chemical evolution is explained by Miller’s apparatus which includes energy sources like lightning. In this chapter, a definition in the BSCS Biology Blue textbook states, “living systems must be able to reproduce, must be subject to mutations that…

issues advocating against the abstract question of reality. In contrast, the aim of modern science has been, by employing the scientific method, to establish reality beyond any doubt. As a result, the public commonly accepts scientific findings and theories as undisputable truths. However, the certainty of modern science is misleading and continues to leave the question of reality open for…

What are the methods of Inquiry? Basically, methods of inquiry are different ways an investigator can gather information for his/her case whether it’s a normal routine investigation or trying to reconstruct a past crime scene. Outside resources such as forensic scientists, computer technicians or anthropologist could be used in order to validate evidence collected. The scientific method is a great tool to use when trying to reconstruct a crime scene. The scientific method is not only for…

Observation of a 5-year-old Purpose The purpose of this observational study is to gain perspective of the various theories of development that were taught in class. Also, to help the observer understand that observational research is complex and difficult to describe a five-year-old female child objectively. The observation took place in the child’s home for one hour while her parents were present during the study thus, the mother can sign the permission slip. Descriptive information The child…

How does science play in the explanation of reality? It would seem in that in the era we live in now science emerged to play a very big role. Considering that it is the largest bodies of investigation we have, along with being the most socially acceptable. Although, that seems to be the issue at hand here, that science discovers things about our reality and most people at large, tend to accept the reported findings. Most people walk through life reading magazines articles that report scientific…

experimental results show that the null hypothesis may be mistaken, and thus, in this case, it is discarded and replaced the hypothesis development and testing. In the case of a hypothesis that is not refuted by the results, it may form the basis for the theory to explain this phenomenon. Experimental science has placed the importance of the publication, they may be re-created by other researchers to prove the consistency of the rights of observation so that they might further refine the…
