Science project

Joseph Needham’s The Grand Titration: Science and Society in East and West seeks to answer the question of why modern science developed in the Western world and not in China. He answers this question by “titrating,” or essentially comparing, scientific and technological advancements between China and the West. To conduct his comparison, he investigates the relationship, in both civilizations, between science and a variety of topics. The topics that Needham covers include politics, economics,…

Introduction: Initially Research project was an opportunity for me to explore the possible future pathways for myself. However, through refinement it became more prominent that the specific topic for my Research Project should be in regards to issues within the fields of my future pathway, which will also allow me to further develop my knowledge and capabilities. Initially, my question for the research project explored the effects of general mental illnesses on the cognitive abilities, however…

Science and the arts have been intertwined for a long time and have more in common than one would think. Both science and art are human attempts to understand and describe the world around us. Mediums, methods, and intended audiences are different, but the motivations and goals are essentially the same. The artist who mix their own paint, study the effects of color and learn how to perceive light is considered scientist. Through humans scientific understanding is as extravagant as it has ever…

but is a key role to life. This sparked my interest in the intricacy of the human anatomy and physiology which has me curious to the research required. The desire to pursue a career in helping others, but also to explore science at a greater depth. I believe biomedical science will enable me to broaden my perspective and give me a solid foundation of knowledge and skills required for careers in healthcare. The human body is a world in itself; from volunteering in a care home, I have been given…

Throughout my formal education, I have always been learning about science. It began with relatively basic information regarding the solar system, weather, and other “simple” topics in elementary school. I can distinctly remember being very fond of space and wanting to learn more information in regards to it. For two consecutive years, I made a model of the solar system and gave a presentation on it to my class. Additionally, in the second grade, we took a class trip to the planetarium, which I…

True Science Reflection #2 By dictionary definition, science is defined as the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. The irony of the matter is that in our grade school years, we are never actually given the opportunity to study the world through observation nor experiment. Contrarily, we are asked to “research” and evaluate matters that we can already provide an…

I believe that I will be successful in the Biomedical Science Program because I have many qualities that combine to make me a well-rounded student. I have great grades and rarely ever earn less than an A in a class. I am very devoted to my school work and work diligently to receive exceptional grades on assignments. Furthermore, I am in advanced classes and am used to doing difficult work and lengthy projects. I have overcome many challenges that most kids will never deal with like dyslexia and…

Piamarie Lindahl Loughman Capstone European History 2 November 2016 Research Project Proposal Proposal title : Women’s Status Affects Scientific Research Research Question: How did the woman status affect the works of Maria Winkelmann Kirch during the scientific revolution. Between the 15th and the 16th century, Maria Winkelmann Kirch became a German astronomer regardless of the obstacles that faced many female scientists. Winkelmann strongly believed that she equally deserved the type of…

I am writing to apply for the Environmental, Earth and Natural Sciences Graduate UK 2016 intake (Reference number: 150001I2), as advertised on the Ch2m website. As a recent graduate with a 1st Class degree in Geography, I am able to meet the requirements outlined in the job specification (see enclosed CV document). I am now looking to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during my degree into the workplace and a graduate role with Ch2m offers me the perfect opportunity to do this. During my…

Physics of Skiing Science research paper Johanna Kelly For my science fair project, the topic I wanted to study were the physics of skiing. The question I’m going to do for my experiment is, does wax affect the speed of skiing? I’m also planning on testing the wax in different conditions, and at different slope angles. This seems like a very interesting project, because I really like skiing and snowboarding. Last year my project wasn’t very interesting to me, so I’m glad I picked a…
