Cognitive development was theorized by Jean Piaget, “who forged the single-most comprehensive and compelling theory of intellectual development” (Crain, 2011, p. 118).

The first period, sensorimotor intelligence, spans from birth to 2 years of age and was then split into six stages: the use of reflexes, primary…

With a long coastline, a warm climate and beautiful, sandy beaches the country attracts millions of tourists every year. The capital city, Lisbon, is one of the oldest in Western Europe and is built on seven hills, just…

Gas Exchange + Transport Pulmonary circulation: circulation from heart to lungs Systemic circulation: circulation from lungs to organs Gas exchange is the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the blood and the movement of carbon dioxide from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs in the capillaries, which are microscopic vessels in the lungs. In humans, nutrients and oxygen are transferred through the bloodstream. Cells can’t rely solely on diffusion, so this transport system is important…

Despite the fact that I am a biology major at LSU, my interests outside of academics are quite varied. I love the complexity and mystery that the scientific field possesses, but my passions tend to fall more along the lines of science fiction as opposed to fact. My brothers and I all have supernatural thrillers, scifi adventures, and comic books about aliens and mutants stacked up on the shelves of our bookcases. That’s why, when I was telling my family about how I needed a topic relating to my…

65,000,000 years ago, an entire species was killed off. There are so many different theories of how the dinosaurs dissapeared. There are many different ways to explain the extinction which took place 65 million years ago. One of the main reasons was the possibility of a sudden change in the climate or atmosphere. For instance, a nearby supernova explosion could heat up the upper atmosphere, disturbing the ozone layer. Disturbing the ozone layer could produce large ice clouds which would cool…

The ‘American Dream’ The ability to become successfully wealthy, popular, and most importantly, happy in America is difficult to obtain, unless one was to grow up in a rich, social, and happy family.

There are infinite amounts of views on the desirable American life that go back when blacks were still slaves and women had no rights, but one of the most common views, is the accomplishment to gain wealth and prosperity, and an equal opportunity…

The politics of The Martian present a powerful counterpoint to the rise of anti-intellectualism in the United States. Whereas the heavy majority of big-budget space adventures set in present day or the near future pay little attention to scientific accuracy in the name of entertainment, The Martian is, at its core, about science. It is about the triumph of the scientific method and the value of education. Trapped alone on Mars, astronaut Mark Watney has to conduct what are essentially a series…

Monster Cinema: The Myth and History of the Spectacle In recent years, the monster genre has been dominated by zombies, vampires, werewolves, and supernatural creatures. Although these monsters terrify audiences, they don’t have the same impact as their larger, far more destructive counterparts. The kaiju, or giant monster, have been a neglected and misunderstood genre for a long time. It wasn’t until recently that these monsters started to make their way back on the silver screen.
