rejecting the scientific method, embraces the idea of empirical science. His disagreement stemmed from the notion that science can never be proven, but it may be falsified. These ideas are reflection of previous noted philosophers such as Plato and Socrates with respect to academics, which are expanded upon and are implemented in today’s science society. Popper also explains the concept of an “open society” and its’ relationship with science in order for scientific theories to be valid. In…

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…

4) What is the difference between science, non-science and pseudo-science? Are non-scientific explanations ever correct? What should we do when a scientific explanation clashes with a non-scientific explanation? Illustrate with examples. In the last years the science and non-science distinction has become increasingly blurred due to different positions and interpretations of science in the modern world, additionally to those there should be also considered questioning the validity of…

when one hears the word science the first thing that comes to mind is the science class they took as students and how they either hated the subject or loved it, but what they don 't think about is how important science is to the world. For example the average person drives a car, but not as many people get into fatal car crashes as they did 45 years ago and this can all be attributed to the advances in cars developed by scientists. I believe that in society today science is more beneficial than…

of these technologies, scientists have successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly. The advancement of science and technology is very important for the human race. Through modern science and technology, the human race is advancing in more ways than one, including progressive projects, such as the Human Genome Project, and, also, changing the way people live day-to-day, but, the important information is held back from the general public by political means, making it harder for advancements. There…

Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine for discovering vitamin C. With interests in biology, a large sum of my time is spent in the lab or on a computer doing research. However research doesn’t have to apply only to biology of other physical sciences. Research can apply to most aspects and studies in life. Although when initially peering into humanities one may not notice the depths of research that has been done, and is capable of being done on the entities given. Biology and humanities…

the cause of many known natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. Whenever a natural disaster occurs someone, somewhere did something to get the gods mad as is the ancient Greek's mentality. Coming back into reality, science has another perspective. Humans can make conclusions about the cause, effect, plus the origin of any natural disaster before it happens due to an advancement in modern-day technology. In Homer's great poem, The Odyssey, portrays many natural…
