Science

cannot take the form of a combination of both story and fact due to the fictional aspect that storytelling involves. However, it is arguable that facts are found through the existence of stories and accounts of past incidents. History and the natural sciences are differing storehouses of stories and facts. Each, in their own system, takes up a combination of stories and facts and are rarely found to consist of only one or other, however the strength of each in these respective fields varies…

According to Richard K Moran, and Page K, in “ Teaching for Conceptual Understanding in Science”, conceptual understanding is one that is consistent and compatible with scientific knowledge or language of science accepted by the scientific community, not language of incorrect terminology or everyday life used by nonscientists that has different meaning. It is agreed between educators at the present time that students come to school and they have ideas and interpretations does not correspond with…

Beyond literature, Lomonosov had a great impact on science through his discoveries. He was a polymath and worked on many different areas including chemistry, physics, astronomy, meteorology, mineralogy, and metallurgy (Vernadsky 38). Most of his earlier career was focused physics and chemistry. His work in physics focused for a period on electricity where he did many experiments with Georg Wilhelm Richmann, a German at the Academy of Sciences. Their work lead Lomonosov to come to many of the…

of Victor, and the tale may serve as a cautionary warning to those who undergo scientific and technological pursuits that go against nature, like creating life from the dead. However, Mary Shelley’s writing does not seem to indicate a critique of science or the making of the Creature, but rather…

onwards. What caused such rapid leaps to be made within such widely diverse fields of science? By all accounts, historians of science relate this massive leap to the practice of “big science”, as opposed to the previously traditional “little science”. But a distinct flow of events shifted this practice of “little science” to the behemoth-sized “big science”. One of the main focuses and concerns of modern science lies in how to balance out these two methods of practice. While benefits and…

Physical science is the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects. The topics that we covered in the 2015/2016 science year are: atoms and elements; chemical bonding and reactions; energy; electricity and magnetism; waves; and forces. My project is a toy made of conductive ink and wired lights in which the user places their finger onto the ink as a conductor. The part of the toy that comes into play with Chelchi…

Hypothesis- Science Fair Name: Gustavo Hernandez Date: Nov.28.2015 Partner: N/A Experimental Question, Independent Variable, and Dependent Variable: Do video games affect memory? Memory is an incredible thing and some parts of it we do not even understand, so in this new era with video games rising in popularity and being in many different households do video games affect gaming? The testing will be done by manipulating a game playing time between studying and taking a quiz. A test subject will…

only the design of spectroscopy but also the perception of scientific research in the late 19th century. He redirected his suppressions of the world to further develop this study of “pure science,” the understanding that science should focus on research for the advancement of knowledge. This concept of science had been forgotten and masked by the working world of the 19th century. Rowland found purpose to proclaim that…

Bateson, an English anthropologist, once said “Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.” In a place and time where many individuals take the word of scientists as law, we must be careful to remember this fact. We cannot assume that because a teacher or scientist or uses the statement “science has proven” that they are unquestionably correct; it is our duty to teach this generation and the next that science is fallible and preserve them from…

evolution of mankind from the medieval times to the current ‘science and technology age’ has allowed mankind to evolve and adapt to nature well. In fact, the advent of science has propelled mankind forward to where he is today, something that was considered unimaginable and unattainable hundreds and thousands of years back. Albert Einstein once said “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” So I question, what is Science? Before I develop my argument further, I…
