Environmental science

identified was that students, but girls in particular, were not interested in science and considered it to be boring. This is reflected by elective science and engineering classes in high school being male-dominated, with the exception of biology and medical themed classes. I found this very interesting because it was a reflection of the workforce in terms of STEM fields. I do not think that girls are naturally worse at science. One thing that explains this gap though is access and appeal. Thus,…

Environmental Engineering is an interesting field that enables people to explore the scientific methods of preserving nature for the commonwealth of the world. Environmentalists concern, the prevention methods, and what famous naturalists in the past did to create awareness among people are important factors to look for. People knowingly and unknowingly decimate natural resources which in many cases have a devastating effect on our world. Environmental Engineers daily work life starts here with…

The right mindset can lead to many opportunities in further development and integration of traditional practices into modern society. Consilience is a way the traditional knowledge and western scientific knowledge can be combined to change environmental policy. This practice can help revitalize the culture within the community as it encourages engagement of the members. The researchers who are interested in the practice look to the community and those who have lived and experienced it to…

I am writing to apply for the Environmental, Earth and Natural Sciences Graduate UK 2016 intake (Reference number: 150001I2), as advertised on the Ch2m website. As a recent graduate with a 1st Class degree in Geography, I am able to meet the requirements outlined in the job specification (see enclosed CV document). I am now looking to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during my degree into the workplace and a graduate role with Ch2m offers me the perfect opportunity to do this. During my…

Playscapes: A promising way to connect young children to nature With the world turning more electronic every day, many parents and environmental educators fear that children do not spend enough time exploring natural spaces. This “nature deficit” can cause children to miss out on important developmental opportunities and feel less connected to nature as a whole. Playscapes, or enclosed play spaces that incorporate natural elements, seek to fill this void. However, very little research has gone…

concluded that it incorporates the following disciplines: science, technology, engineering, and potentially, art and math. The scenario incorporates science through the discussion of honey bees, their essential role in ecosystems, and the environmental impact of their endangered status and risk of extinction. The scenario incorporates technology throughout the problem-solving process, as students are encouraged to research the environmental issue and the different types of plants that can grow…

student, and researcher. Her work gains credibility and reliability through her use of research studies to back up the information being discussed. Also, other professionals peer review her scientific studies before publication. The Public Library of Science (PLOS ONE), located in San Francisco, published this study. PLOS ONE’s credibility comes from the non…

In 1911, the problems and invalidness of scientific racism became more exposed, especially the main problem with it. The main problem with racial science was its inability to distinguish between phenotypical, genetic, biological, and cultural variation among the human population along with having insufficient and invalid evidence to back it up. Franz Boas questioned and challenged the beliefs that race, culture, and language were all connected. He studied and observed different skulls of…

county from sunny Spring Hill to rural Brooksville, Gulf Coast Academy (GCA) is the best middle school option for me because it offers a very unique hands on science and technology program. The Field Activity Program (FAP) is amazing because I get to learn through field experience in addition to classroom instructions. I am very interested in science, math and technology. GCA offers a very structured and challenging curriculum that will enhance my learning experience and give me a good solid…

outlined by Reisch (1998) to identify the boundary between science and pseudoscience (as cited in Schick, 2000). First, he introduced the “ simple demarcation” criteria, which adapted the logical positivism view and its empirical methodology in recognizing the scientific knowledge. Then, he introduced the second concept, which is “ network demarcation” as the methodology to find the interconnections among the acceptable different field of sciences. If the theory lacks the evidential support or…
