This paper examines the value and application of utilizing interdisciplinary connections (IDC) in instructing within the science classroom, in support of the standard set out in the Alabama Course of Study: Science (2015). There is some disagreement on whether the benefits of IDC instruction outweigh the potential shortfall in effective teaching of important scientific principles with a commensurate depth. Dickinson and Young (1998) voice concern that marginalizing disciplinary boundaries may…

Gerolamo Cardano's work made no big splash in his own time, because he worked at a time when mystical incantation was more valued than mathematical calculation. In other words, people did not look for the order in nature and did not develop numerical description of the events. Therefore, a theory of the effect of randomness on those events was bound to go unappreciated. The turning point for the scientifc revolution came in 1583, just seven years after Cardano's death. The scientifc revolution…

it is not going to be beneficial to humans. So it is very necessary for us to point out and analyze the psychic, creationist, pseudo-historian, and cult group that mislead the public. Therefore, it is also necessary for anyone who can confront the science and reason, and even the forces that threaten the human race, to be the precursor of the scientific community who has led the public. Shermer is one of the precursors. Steven J. Gould, a prominent evolutionary biologist in the United States,…

Understanding Human Nature Sin Ting (AKA Kalia) Leung Sacramento City College Understanding Human Nature Understanding human nature is essential to the science of psychology. Exploring Psychology 8th edition by David Myers, module 8-5 introduces the perspective of understanding human nature known as evolutionary psychology. This perspective is built upon understanding human behavior and mental processes through the principles of Charles Darwin’s idea of natural selection. (Myers…

through the massive advancements of science and technology, it has become easier to create biological, nuclear and chemical weapons of mass destruction. The expansion of these technological capabilities risks danger of these technologies falling into the hands of certain deranged individuals. Proponents of moral enhancement believe in cognitive enhancement via the means of drugs, implants or biological or genetic intervention because the advancement of science and technology are becoming so…

bodies were not capable of; however, now humanity is “addressed with an extension of the mental self,” persisting us to communicate, think, and function differently (Case). Tools ranging from the first ignition of fire to recent expansions within computational devices have mirrored both the physical and mental evolution of mankind; devices cannot progress on their own, however it is the implementation of these tools that allows humanity to expand. In a way, modern technology is built in the…

USING ICT IN CHEMISTRY EDUCATION LOKENDRA KUMAR OJHA Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, Punjab ojha.lokendra@gmail.com Abstract There are several topics in chemistry which required computational technique to learn and use of ICT enhance learning capacity of learner as well as facilitator. The present article deals with the use of ICT in some of the topic of chemistry. We tried to overcome from routine chalk and talk method to understand the several topic viz. stereochemistries, IUPAC…

scientific civilization, developed by Sir Francis Bacon in 17th century England, and the ways science is actually practiced in the world today both pursue objective truth, the modern vision and today’s scientific practices differ in their methods of pursuing truth. The modern vision and the ways science is actually practiced today both pursue objective truth in order to benefit humanity. The modern vision of science pursued truth using experience, which differed from today’s scientific practices…
