Introductory physics

Scientific Revolution: [Subtitle] Scientific Revolution began in the late 1500’s. It is a spirit of questioning the accepted views of the world. All ideas were brought up by the European Society. Scientific Revolution would make Europe the most powerful place and people in the world. One of the best aspects was self-perpetuating nature for the Scientific Revolution. Humanism began to influence scholars in the late Middle Ages. Nicolaus Copernicus challenged Ptotemy’s geocentric. Johannes Kepler…

As a Freshman at Jones College Prep, one of the top three most prestigious high schools in the state; I was part of the Career and Technical Education Program. This allowed me the opportunity to choose between the Engineering and Pre- Law programs provided at my school. My interest in math and science pushed me to pursue a path in Engineering. Knowing that I will be able to positively impact someone’s life through this career made it all the more compelling. The “Introduction to Engineering”…

He was born on January 4, 1643 and died on march 31, 1727. He was a physicist and a mathematician who developed the principles of modern physics, also the laws of motion, and was credited with one of the greatest minds of the 17th century. Newton made discoveries in optics, motion and mathematics. In 1668 he designed and constructed a reflecting telescope. Newton created a theory of gravity, it states that two objects attract each other with a force of gravitational attraction that's…

The film, Beyond Science, was an interesting film that takes a closer look at popular and controversial non-scientific approaches. Palm reading, dowsing, energy manipulation, and extraterrestrial encounters were among some of the explored subjects in the film. The people interviewed in the film strongly believed that these methods were real and valid, yet when they were tested using the scientific method, they failed. While I personally do not believe in any of the non-scientific reasoning or…

Isaac Newton was a very famous mathematician and physicist and is know known as one of the most influential men ever. He has contributed to many fields and has helped with advancements in society. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. His father died 3 months before he was born. Newton was expected to die after birth as he was a very weak baby. Newton was sent to live with his grandmother as his mam had married another man. This traumatic experience gave…

A scientist is a person who engagingly studies or has deep knowledge in the fields of science. The main fields of science include; Physics, biology, chemistry, geology, etc. which branch into other deeper subjects. Scientists contributed greatly in society that made us live the life we live today. There are many scientists who are not recognized enough for their scientific discoveries and influences. One scientist that I definitely believe that should be on the Science Hall of Fame is Louis…

Life is molded by the fruits of mutations. It was this revelation that fueled my desire to delve into the world of cells and directed my fascination towards the objective details governing the universe. My will to challenge the known while embracing an open reception to knowledge is what distinguishes me as a worthy GRFAW candidate. Currently in the 11th grade, my previous grade 10 year resulted an overall average of 93% and final marks of 100% in science and 98% in math. My passion for…

influenced the approach of life include subject matters, reasoning, and society practices. As scientists began to move beyond the ancients to discovered an integrated body of knowledge during the Scientific Revolution period, the role of mathematics, physics, and our understanding of life…

December 15th, 2013. This was the day I established the Science Leaders of Tomorrow, SLOT, in order to stimulate other students’ interest in science and math. With SLOT, I volunteered at a local elementary school with other students to teach the kids about science and engineering. I once helped a fifth grade student, Manny, who was struggling with circuits in his science class. After working closely with Manny for two weeks, he was able to use circuits to build and program a robot. The next time…

focus inward and study other humans. To this point, sciences had been formulated to better understand our physical and environmental surroundings. To their credit, early thinkers achieved considerable advancements in understanding sciences like physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics, and many of the discoveries throughout history in these fields are still withstanding today. As these early branches of science progressed in substance, so too did the procedures and standards of actually…
