The guiding question for the Unknown Substance Lab was: What are the identities of the unknown substance? The purpose of the experiment was to broaden and deepen our understanding of conducting a lab and writing a formal lab report. The experiment itself was also important in applying our knowledge about the physical properties of matter. Based on the results from the lab, the challenge was to determine the identity of unknown substances in comparison to the known substances. First, we start off…

each country, especially the Italians. It was almost impossible to go against it. Christianity, especially Catholicism, was heavily practiced within each nation. So, with the passion and strict rules of religion and the rapid growth of interest in science, controversy started to rise. By the time Galileo became famous with his discoveries, everyone increasingly became interested towards Galileo’s telescope. People wanted to know how he made and used it. For most of his time he wanted to keep his…

"Honorable Judge.." I began with a nervous smile. I skimmed through the notes I had made during all those hours of research for the past two weeks. Sadly it was of no help; I had to say whatever came to my mind right then. This was debate after all. I glanced up, and caught the eye of my coach at the back. I hated disappointing the people who believed in me, and I knew my coach had more belief in me than I could ever muster. I took a deep breath, and I started to speak. The topic was about…

origins and meaning of sentience and intelligence, as well as the problems that are linked with changing the workings of humans and the fear that idea induces in many people. Not only are these topics still relevant in both modern pop culture and science, but the questions posed are still asked today by philosophers and scientists. This is truly the greatest proof of Mrs. Shelley’s writing ability and the impact of her novel has had on the modern world. In the novel, the scientist Victor…

McGill-Queen's University Press, 1988. “Newton and the Scientific Revolution” written by Richard Westfall gives an excellent overview of Sir Isaac Newton’s (along with other contributors) contributions and improvements in science during the time of the Scientific Revolution. Richard Westfall displays his appreciation of Newton’s contributions…

one’s own body to reach its own potential. Furthermore, a responsible citizen should learn how to incorporate biomechanics into everyday life to help society become a better positive place and to help others. In science, the field of biomechanics is where scientists use math and science to help optimize the body’s functions…

Chapter two, Integrative approaches to psychology and Christianity: An introduction to worldview issues, philosophical foundations, and models of integration, refers to science and religion from Roman Catholic, Protestantism, and Christianity, and whether they are friend or foe. Evidence provides, that Christians founded science to have law and reasons to support the idea God created us. Chapter three introduces the relationship between psychology and religion, explaining the differences between…

I would argue that Lévi-Strauss is right to use science to establish patterns found in religions. The use of science with religion is no easy task as the need for empirical evidence is prominent throughout. However, I do think that Lévi-Strauss makes a compelling argument for it. He asserts that there is a common belief or characteristic of mystical properties in dealing with the origin of twins. He then goes on to support his theory through his observation of the various Native pan-American…

the concept revealing the complex and multiple interchanging levels of learning and understanding to world observations, wonders, and questions. I found the YCI framework helpful because it can be a helpful tool for educators to use when teaching science. Indeed, the YCI framework reveals that learning is complex and messy and provides another lens in which educators can go about teaching children…

The world unfailingly evolves in an attempt to improve and advance humanity. As new discoveries are made, perceptions are altered, and people are left with a choice to either accept societal transformations, or stand against them. Looking back, this trend can be seen in virtually every aspect of history. During the Renaissance, people either accepted the new secularist views or rejected them in favor of the church, and amid the Scientific Revolution, people either supported new discoveries, or…
