The guiding question for the Unknown Substance Lab was: What are the identities of the unknown substance? The purpose of the experiment was to broaden and deepen our understanding of conducting a lab and writing a formal lab report. The experiment itself was also important in applying our knowledge about the physical properties of matter. Based on the results from the lab, the challenge was to determine the identity of unknown substances in comparison to the known substances. First, we start off…

The Great Influenza In the excerpt from his book “The Great Influenza” John M. Barry, characterizes scientific research as “grunt” and “tedious” work, highlighting that scientists must acquire courage to accept and embrace uncertainty. Barry develops his ideas by utilizing an extended metaphor comparing the unknown and the known, antithetical ideas of uncertainty and certainty, and rhetorical questions to mirror the thought process a scientists encounters. Using references from scientists…

College athletes are getting too caught up in their athletics that they do not have enough time to work on a major that is more difficult. As a result of this, counselors have…

When I visualize the line between science and magic, all I see is a blur. The blur, by nature, isn't clearly defined just as humanity isn't clearly defined. I question whether my attraction to this line is then magnetic even though it should be opposites that attract. I ask if this line is simply between the things we understand and the inventions we can't yet fathom, or if that line is the distinction between the pursuit of truth and deception. Either way the line contains a mystery worthy of…

The basic Cell Theory describes cells as the “structural and functional units of all living things” (Lawson, 1).

When it comes to raising children we’ve all either heard of or have had personal experiences with ‘grandma’s’ way of doing things; the old-fashioned way. Like for instance, when I had my first child, rather than having her on an eating schedule (every 8 hours) like the doctor prescribed, my grandmother thought that every time my baby cried she was hungry and she demanded that I feed her; saying the doctors didn’t know what the heck they were talking about. Claiming that she should be porky and…

the crisis was scientists is resistance and stratagem which do scientists to anomlia that brings them into crisis. So scientists are still maintaining their paradigms without becomes and also Scientists create some temporary modification of their theories to eliminate any conflict it seems. They will create a lot of articulation and modifications. Epistemological replacement it is a minor annoyance that happened because the new science emerging analysis and different which they would no longer…

4a. Is the belief or assertion that the textbook IS a textbook rational? Remember, it is a rational belief only if there is good evidence for it. Can you find good evidence for it in the textbook itself (i.e., can you find evidence or reasons provided by the author of the textbook)? (Rely mostly on pp. 3-9; browse through the book for some other relevant clues.) What, exactly, is the content of the belief being defended? The book looks like a textbook and is it meant to use as an assigned…
