criticism surrounding the fields of psychology and social sciences. In light of this, a newer initiative called the Reproducibility Project at the University of Virginia reran 100 psychology experiments that were published in three leading psychology journals; and found that the studies were hard to replicate and the results were far different from the original findings. This generated alarm and suspicions that the fields of psychology and social sciences are in the midst of a crisis. This…

that defy all former expectations. Because of these technologies, scientists have successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly. The advancement of science and technology is very important for the human race. Through modern science and technology, the human race is advancing in more ways than one, including progressive projects, such as the Human Genome Project, and, also, changing the way people live day-to-day, but, the important information is held back from the general public by political…

“Science is not just about learning facts. Science is the process of finding out about the world around us.” In the Integrating Science Inquiry with Reading and Writing in Kindergarten written by Helen Patrick, they discuss the benefits of blending science with every day reading and writing using the results from two different kindergarten classes.

The Honors Program has been a journey over the past year as I have been becoming increasingly involved in my project, academic community, and the honors program at large. The role of a scientist in the world has grown progressively clearer for me. The experiences leading to this evolution of definition have been my interactions with peers within and outside of my field, role models in science, and pure experimental experience. The most impactful interactions with peers have always corresponded…

have thought? Our group project allowed us to apply ourselves in a new way to teach the youth of Waverly. The skills and ideas taught in the IS Reader were applied in both developing our project and in the teaching process with the kids.

My 495 Capstone project has certainly been a journey, one I feel started last year with TED 560: Science Methods. It was there I learned to teach students to think critically, ask questions about the world around them, and explore scientific concepts in the middle school classroom. This semester I was able to apply the knowledge I learned during the Fall semester in my own experimental inquiry project. I was challenged to engage in the thought patterns I wish my future students to adapt and…
