experience of how to conduct empirical and theoretical research on the nature of concept learning behavior, perception, and inference in humans and non-human animals. The learning goals of the laboratory experiences include enhancing mastery of science subject matter, developing scientific reasoning abilities, increasing understanding of the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work, developing practical skills, increasing understanding of the nature, and improving teamwork abilities.…
It is no secret that Americans lag behind other countries in math and science achievement. While various forms of referendum have been proposed to address the insatiable ranking, valid progress is yet to be achieved.

1.1. Introduction. A concept or design that is compiled in such a way that it helps to describe the relationship different theories of science in a common area of research and knowledge is the definition of ontology. Individuals would develop an ontology for several reasons like to share a common understanding in the constructions of information between people and computer agents basically making information more clear to understand and the study of existence. This links to general metaphysics…
The journey of science has come a long way in analyzing how knowledge developed over thousands of years and continue to expands its boundaries.
