Throughout this portfolio I expect to have a better understanding of what I need to do to graduate and succeed in the field of nutritional science. Furthermore, I expect that this portfolio will help me recognize my skills and abilities in relation to the field of nutritional science. Moreover, this portfolio can be used as an invaluable tool to help me market my qualifications to an employer for an internship or full time job following graduation. In addition, I expect the portfolio to…

The field of computer science is one that is constantly growing. Technology has been deemed an inevitable part of our future and if more students do not go into this field then there will be no way for technology to advance. “There will be 1 million more computing jobs than students over the next 10 years” (Blurbs and Useful Stats). The number of jobs in this field will only go up, because the demand for new technology in all other fields will only increase as time goes on. Even though the…

In his article Gilson argues that science and faith are not in conflict, but rather work together in unison to make sense of the world. Gilson supports the idea that while science and faith might seem to have opposite ideas, in reality,…

4) What is the difference between science, non-science and pseudo-science? Are non-scientific explanations ever correct? What should we do when a scientific explanation clashes with a non-scientific explanation? Illustrate with examples. In the last years the science and non-science distinction has become increasingly blurred due to different positions and interpretations of science in the modern world, additionally to those there should be also considered questioning the validity of…

knowledge, referred to as nature of science (NOS), are a significant component of cultivating scientific literacy. Helping students develop in-depth and accurate conceptions of NOS has been a shared objective of science education for many years and continues to be considered an essential goal of major science education reform efforts. In addition to NOS, the Next Generation of Science Education Standards (NGSS) emphasizes the importance of students learning science and engineering practices…

prediction that human ancestors would be found in Africa, we can predict when common ancestor would appear for example, the discovery of the” fishapod” Tiktaalik in 370-million-year-old-rocks. I could not dispute that through science and the great work they have helped us to understand what went on in the past, and might be able to predict what might go on in the future concerning evolution. But I still haven’t read in this book or Your Inner Fish that there is absolute proof of the evolutionary…
