would support children working scientifically in primary science. The National Curriculum (2013) sets out the skills needed for a child to work scientifically at a primary level. These skills include observation, pattern seeking and identifying, classifying and grouping of different objects. Children must also use their developing scientific vocabulary to show their clear understanding of scientific concepts. Due to the fact that science plays such a huge part in the education of children,…

in the computer lab for a class assignment. Most of the kids seemed fluent with the computers and their usage, promptly navigating to the google.com home page (yes, it existed back then) and searching for “ligers.” While I, on the other hand, was unable to even navigate to the internet browser. It was the first time I had any formal experience with any sort of computer. I felt utterly lost. Unlike the other students in my class, I had no computer literacy whatsoever. This lack of computer…

Statistics - Distracted Driving Drives Up Risk”). The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines technology as, “the use of science in industry, engineering, ect., to invent useful things or solve problems.” But when the word technology comes to mind in the context of today’s society, it has a drastically different definition. When the word technology is heard, what does come to mind are cellphones, computers, tablets, and smart televisions. As technology progresses, human dependency on technology also…

In order to scientifically analyze a situation or problem we must first observe it; in social science, we must observe the real world (Hunt & Colander, 2011). In order to accomplish this task, I chose to observe the use of technologies in a mid-range restaurant. The restaurant is known for being family friendly, but also caters to the sports enthusiast. The technologies readily available to customers include flat screen TV's displaying various sporting events, a tablet at each table that…

Mathematics is the motor which drives the sciences and is essential to many other subjects. The sciences approach the truth but it is only through the purity of mathematics that we can arrive at complete truth. I am particularly interested in contributing to this research and furthering my understanding of the complex field of mathematics. My inspiration is Alan Turing. I am currently reading the cleverly named 'Alan Turing the Enigma' by Andrew Hodges and marvel at his contributions to the…

Performance Task 1 Fourth grade science helps reveal how the world works. Fourth graders should understand the importance of curiosity, honesty, and openness in discovering science. This is a time for them to question how the world works. In doing so they can use the scientific method to better understand. Learning the steps of the scientific method will help them with the numerous experiments we will do throughout the year. Knowing first off to identify the problem, then to ask a question…

American computer scientist and professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1994 till 2014 when he died by suicide. In the 20 years of being a professor his research included everything from robotics, computer vision, and sensor networks. Mr. Teller received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. He was also a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Science Institute of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Princeton University’s Computer Science…

followed, I slowly realized that I would never have a career that required me to work on my feet and I would have to re-evaluate my career plans. Since my first computer at age 10, I have always had a passion for computers and electronics. With the explosion of new technology emerging in the last 10 years, intimate knowledge of computers has proven to be very lucrative and a stable career choice for years to come. I have chosen to do…

For the past four years, I’ve sat through six-hour-long competitions several times a year. These competitions are an integral part of CyberPatriot, a national computer security education program for high school students. For nearly the entire six-hours, I focus on securing a Linux system by using command line, editing server configuration files, and digging through the Linux filesystem, while my teammates complete networking quizzes and work on securing Windows systems. During competitions and…

The answer to that is fairly simple, Maths is mother and backbone of all sciences. Benefits of maths in sprightly day life is uncountable, the post modern life of today is built based on the advancements of technology so the younger generation are in need of learning mathematic deeper than ever. Numeracy and technology are growing…
