Science project

The science fair is a way for students to show their science knowledge, problem solving skills, and to show their academic ability. The projects are meant to allow the students to learn more about a subject by creating a question and trying to answer it by question. The science fair is a large project to better the student and help fulfill the desire for knowledge in the science department. For many jobs, task, or even just exercise you need a snack. Lightweight snacks are the easiest to eat…

This chapter is centered around the idea that science is a subject matter that is able to incorporate all other subjects into it yet it is not emphasized enough. “Science is a way of thinking; it involves doing, acting, investigating, gathering, organizing, and evaluating. Active teaching promotes learning and it is through science activities and experiences that students do, act, investigate, gather, organize, analyze, and evaluate information” (p.132). It is hard to imagine that through all of…

attention to science in recent years because there has been a large increase in science, engineering, and technology in the workforce. Alabama has also seen the increase in jobs in those fields and is trying to set up its school systems to be stronger in the different areas. The state of Alabama believes that science, engineering, technology, and society are all interdependent and should be taught in a way that shows their connectedness. The position that they stand behind is science,…

Researchers and scientists use their sense perception in order to create their theory. Researchers use inductive reasoning to "make generalizations from specific observations." (Staff, Live Science. "Deductive Reasoning vs. Inductive Reasoning." LiveScience. TechMedia Network, 10 July 2012. Web. 4 Mar. 2015.). Inductive reasoning also allows for the researcher or scientists to create hypothesis or theories based on their senses (such as sight…

The Ideology of Science Does eating red meat actually cause cancer? This topic caused disturbance to meat-lovers; they thought that eating meat leads to cancer. Often misinterpreted, wisdom to this cultural context creates concern in society. As society expands, scientific advancements create more problems in society. Problems also existed back in 1667, when Jonathan Swift was born in Ireland. Events such as his father’s death before his birth and how “following the Glorious Revolution of 1688,…

article, “Debt Overload”, by the National Society of Professional Engineers, “…28% of African American students reported $33,500 or more of undergraduate debt compared to 15% of Caucasian students.” Also, students with Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Environmental Science, or Mathematics majors accrue over $20,000 a year in debt. While studying the article, it was clear that another possible reason that students did not enter the STEM profession was because they could not afford to go in…

disabilities. During my sophomore year, while looking summer research opportunities, I came across a Robotics Lab at Washington State University that was developing a semi-autonomous wheelchair to improve navigation for quadriplegic ALS patients–a project which combined both my interests. Captivated, I wrote to Professor Taylor who invited me for an internship. That summer, working in the lab, I wrote software and configured laser scanners to test cost-effective approaches to make the…

Tarter—the long-time leader of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence..." (Scoles). Tarter, and fellow SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) scientist, faced skepticism and budget cuts, nevertheless, she never let the champion for SETI science to end in failure.Tarter faced skepticism…

professors cared to help me improve academically when I approached them. During my research in a chemical biology lab, I had comprehensive experience as a scientist, from designing projects, performing experiments, giving presentations, to writing proposals for research awards and fellowships. Also, I have initiated class honors projects that were geared to my specific goals, such as exploring my research interest or learning independently by reading a large number of journal articles. I learned…

Being apart of the program meant I had to double up on science, take accelerated classes, and all of my core classes have a focus on science and math. I struggled in high school, with such a large workload, but STEM taught me to persevere and never give up. One of the qualifications needed to graduate with a STEM medal, is that at the end of high school I had to take an Honors Research class. In this class, I completed a year long research project, studying; The Effects of Different Climate…
