And so, as the young men return from their treacherous mission- a perilous sennight without modern technology- they come back with not only the wicked tales of their trials, but also a report that is extremely crucial to their mark… Seven days without modern technology; a seemingly simple rule our group had to follow. There were very few exceptions to this rule, such as: using technology for homework, using technology for emergencies(i.e. your house is burning down), and any other situation-…

It allows us to test these claims that are formulated and try to prove these hypotheses by further falsifying them. But if all scientific hypotheses have incertitude and the ability to be falsified many times, is there really any truth in science? Is our sense perception entirely to question when it comes to scientific uncertainty? Without scientific claims and falsification, we would not have the whole picture set into place that looks at the entire scope of answers. Our sense perception…

Throughout our lifetime we are always in the pursuit of knowledge. This search of knowledge is part of being a rational thinking human being. In the “Meno”, Socrates is given a logical dilemma in the form of Meno’s Paradox that questions our ability as humans to learn anything at all. There have been many ways people have answered this dilemma. Socrates answers this dilemma through his Theory of Recollection. This may not be the best way to answer Meno’s Paradox and there might be a better way…

Lumsden (JKL) Bahweting Charter School located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Mr. Mitchell’s first grade classroom that I will be attending consists of 22 children from a rural community. The purpose of this observation was to observe children as they completed tasks related to science. I did not interact much during…

it does exist is likely taught by a teacher who never addresses the issue, and who if asked to address the issue would likely not be qualified to discuss the scientific aspects of both sides of the issue.’” After listening to numerous credentialed scientist during the hearing the board Kansas board members came to this decision, “Scientific explanations about origins unavoidably impacts religion and religious beliefs.” Summed up, the hearings brought about a change in how evolution was to be…

Reading journal articles for my classes, I was fascinated by the challenges and problem-solving process of research in general. Since Cooper Union has limited resources for research as a small engineering college, I was delighted to learn of this opportunity. With such passion in research, I was able to have an independent study course in school with one of the biological engineering professors and researched the DNA synthesis process. As a member of an International Genetically Engineered…

It is a very common practice, in fictional literature, for authors to use static characters in order to expose change in the protagonist. For example, in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde uses the characters of Lord Henry Wotton and Basil Hallward to measure Dorian’s descent into Henry’s hedonistic…

electrons occupy most of the leftover space (Davidson). While Rutherford’s experiment illustrates the vast discoveries which the natural sciences have enabled us, scientific discoveries and updates are essentially never-ending, so there is no way to fully know when a specific conclusion is completely correct. Similar to many other scientific explorations, before Rutherford 's discoveries were published, his model of an atom was a belief based on personal knowledge and justified by his own…
