Science

scientific discourse. Turns out, science is inherently rhetorical; everything in science is the result of discourse between opposing factions trying to determine which is the more accurate depiction of how something works in this world, not to mention the inherent subjectivity of some fields of science (mostly the social sciences since humanity is subjecting itself to…

Charles Darwin on Religion and Science Charles Darwin was always thrilled by the natural environment around him. His love for nature led to his scientific exploits as seen with the natural theory of evolution and the theory of natural selection. He saw science as a key to understanding natural occurrences. His perception of science was seen from the way he handled religious issues like morality and ethics. He was ethical in his expressions of nature and science. The diversity of animals and…

AP Chemistry although it is challenging, I do not regret taking it. It showed me how rigorous and fascinating it is to learn about this science. Chemistry opened the door to a new realm of science that I could explore. Having this much fun in chemistry definitely made me want to pursue a career or major in the sciences. I used to like math way more than science and I always wanted to be a mathematician…

creationism nor evolution should be taught as factual science and should not be indoctrinated into students, but can be taught as a theory and philosophy that should be viewed with scrutiny. Teaching evolution or creationism as fact imposes specific beliefs onto an individual, only teaching them what to think, not how. According to the Discovery Institute, evolution should not be taught as fact, but as a theory open to judgement. Creationism is not science, as it deals with unexplainable…

Creation/Evolution Controversy in scientific curriculum This paper Will be focused on the Issue of discrimination against creationism in a scientific curriculum in higher education as a science. I will argue that many of the objections that have been leveled against creationism rather if this is illegal or not if not why and also why do evolutionist serious objection toward the Idea for allowing creationism especially to be taught in public education. Creationism education can be met and that,…

This paper examines the value and application of utilizing interdisciplinary connections (IDC) in instructing within the science classroom, in support of the standard set out in the Alabama Course of Study: Science (2015). There is some disagreement on whether the benefits of IDC instruction outweigh the potential shortfall in effective teaching of important scientific principles with a commensurate depth. Dickinson and Young (1998) voice concern that marginalizing disciplinary boundaries may…

the concept revealing the complex and multiple interchanging levels of learning and understanding to world observations, wonders, and questions. I found the YCI framework helpful because it can be a helpful tool for educators to use when teaching science. Indeed, the YCI framework reveals that learning is complex and messy and provides another lens in which educators can go about teaching children…

people hold incorrect beliefs that women do not belong in the fields of math or science, but these outdated views are changing. In Jacoby’s essay, “When Bright Girls Decide That Math Is ‘a Waste of Time’ Jacoby states, “many girls eliminate themselves…because of the traditional belief that math and science are ‘masculine’ subjects” (Jacoby 266). At Fieldcrest, all of the math courses are taught by women and the science teacher ratio of women to men is 2:1. This…

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,…

argument to why scientism cannot replace literature, art, philosophy and ethics. First, he explains how scientism is appealing by describing reductionism. “Reductionism is a basic and very successful approach common to the physical and biological science, articulated by Rene Descartes (1596-1650) in his Meditations on First Philosophy” (280). What Pigliucci is trying to say that reductionism analysis something that is complex, like an idea, then move that complex idea into something that is…
