Science education

“In science it’s not a sin to change your mind when the evidence demands it” (Ashenbach 2015, p. 47). But how do we encourage students to seek out and discover accurate scientific evidence and understand what it truly is and not be afraid to admit they were wrong when new evidence is uncovered? Students are influenced by many factors in their life; from parents, friends, teachers, and social media that it can be extremely challenging to teach them what science really is. Is it even conceivable…

Science produces validated theories and is capable of making models that lets scientists build new things and sometimes predict natural events that doubtfully affect everyone. Science is unique because it is a specific way of developing knowledge. It can determine what is accepted as real and probably to predict how we live our lives. Science can tell us what is true. The era that we’re in right now is the era of science. I believe science has done a great service to the world. We are rational…

The essay “Science Nourishes the Mind and the Soul” by Brian Greene is unlikeable due to its arguable and tedious material. The author stated, “Science had made me feel small” (Greene 93). This statement is saying that the planet and the stars make everything else seem so small. Especially with the thousands of universes we have not yet discovered. This is the only thing that that author states in the essay that I agree with. Science seems very interesting to the author, but it is not as…

David Skorton, in the article “Why Scientists Should Embrace Liberal Arts”, argues that scientists must supplement their science and engineering education with a study of the humanities to effectively inform the populous. Through the humanities, Skorton believes scientists can develop a better understanding of the human conditions, thus better emotionally connecting with people lacking a scientific background. Skorton’s article contributes a perspective towards solving a larger problem of the…

between natural science and religion, who disagree with each other on the genesis of the world; the latter is more serious and obvious to be discussed among the history. In the centuries of despotism by religion, people struggles and creeps out of the chaos of mind, clear up their thought enter the new world of natural science. However, the loyal old religious constitution never lets the belief in their dominion have heterodoxy. As the result, the war in ideologies…

impact of different beliefs on the relationship of a father and son. Even though Nick Solchuk derives from an agricultural family where education is limited, he is passionate and adamant about pursuing an education on science. On the other hand, Nick’s father’s beliefs and values are strongly rooted in religion, therefore he disapproves his son’s admiration for science.

scientists and the public. He argues that sciences has been politicalized in recent year, and he mentions another Pew Poll that found that Republicans— even well educated Republicans are less likely to admit Climate Change is human induced. Additionally, Democrats in the past have also been critical of certain medical vaccinations, thus he finds that both…

Public understanding of science is one of the areas used to determine public attitude to science, the reason being that there is a relationship between understanding of science and the attitude to it, “Understanding is a broad term, ranging from an elementary idea of what something means (or how it works) to a deep professional understanding of a concept or construct in the full context of its field. The depth of understanding required for a citizen to be able to follow and participate in public…

a person to another, as it requires both money and knowledge, by which it ranges from simple tools to nuclear weapons. There are various classifications in the field of technology, evolving around us, as natural sciences, medical and health sciences, social sciences, Agricultural sciences, engineering, astronomy, humanities, etc. Over the past decades, technology has been significantly developed to the extent…

resulted an overall average of 93% and final marks of 100% in science and 98% in math. My passion for science resembles the irresistible gravitational effects of an ever-expanding black hole, drawn to the comfort of seeking order in chaos. I have demonstrated this aspiration through avid class participation and by seeking out scientific opportunities such as HOSA, a competitive program teaching knowledge and skills in medical sciences. Most importantly, I actively pursue scientific collaboration…
