recall how much sugar is in them all? Without literally reading their nutrition labels, author Michael Moss assembles the facts about snacks and explains what makes these food-products as tempting as they are. Additionally, Moss uses his article, “The Extraordinary Science of Addicting Junk Food,” to establish a case which labels food manufacturers as chief culprits in the American obesity epidemic. Nevertheless, Moss’s article presents a few logical fallacies in the areas of ethos, but…

introduction to Chapter 1 of the book Beginnings of Western Science. It concerns the term “science” and, therefore, the debate over whether or not science existed before 1450 A.D.

My idea for a science project is to investigate whether “the five-second rule” is true or not. I decided on this project after my mom took a microbiology class and became obsessive with germs and bacteria. She is constantly telling me to wash my hands and not to eat food that has fallen on the floor. I want to see if my mom’s theory is accurate. During this background research paper, I will cover past similar research experiments, as well as explain the concept of my project and why the results…

Science like religion is a way of understanding the world around us and how it operates. Science has given us definitive answers and truths about our world such as…

The science fair is a way for students to show their science knowledge, problem solving skills, and to show their academic ability. The projects are meant to allow the students to learn more about a subject by creating a question and trying to answer it. The science fair is a large project to better the student and help fulfill the desire for knowledge in the science department. For many jobs, tasks, or even just exercise you need a snack to keep your energy levels immense. Lightweight snacks…

ways differ from other cultures. The way people view science in Yupiaq culture in southwestern Alaska is very different from the science we use in the United States. • We have adopted Western science in our curriculum in the elementary school system. Students are partaking in controlled experiments, replicability, and alleged objectivity which is practiced in a science laboratory which differs from what the indigenous people are doing. • Science that we are used to is shaped around textbooks…
