For my service learning project I went to Glennville Elementary School Science Night. My station was the depth perception activity. Each student was asked to stand with their hand above a target. They were to drop the ball over the center of the target while closing their right eye for three shots, left eye for three shots, and both eyes open for three shots. My responsibility was to explain the background information, the activity, and record the score of each shot. The goal of the activity was to understand why you score higher shots with both eyes open than you do with one eye closed. It showed how each of our eyes see an angle, and with both eyes open it shows up the average in the middle which is the most straight on view. My activity used many steps to the scientific method. Each student formed a hypothesis without even trying. Many would say that they were going to do better with my right eye open, or with both eyes open. Then they were to do the experiment, where data was taken. After the experiment they could analyze their data and could detect where they had actually done the best and why. I think the science night really got the kids excited about science. I heard many kids say that they love science night and hope they can do these fun activities more often. I think it represented COSM in a very positive way. We were taking time from our thursday nights to go and get students excited and learn about science. This showed very positive things about our
SCIENTIFIC PROCESS- the scientific process is a way to make sure that your experiment can give a good answer to your question. We use observations, hypotheses, predictions, experimentation, and conclusions.
Explain the scientific method. The first step in a scientific method is an observation of subject your studying. The second step is to make a hypothesis on what you are observing. The third reason is using the hypothesis to make predictions of why this is happening.
Ceri Dean discusses many structures tasks in chapter 9 that can be applied to the classroom. In science, we use several of these throughout the school year. These structured task include problem solving and experimental investigation. The deduction method is typically used and explained as the scientific method. According to Dean deduction method gets better results than the induction method (Dean,2012, p.137). The scientific method in my class is dissected into parts and taught by example and practice. I want my students to be able to take any experimental investigation and identify the parts of the scientific method. By the time students get to 11th and 12th grade they should be able to identify and apply the parts of the scientific
The scientific method is a process that is used to answer questions and solve problems. Although there are different variations of the scientific method, it contains 5 basic steps. (1) Recognize a question or an unexplained occurrence in the natural world. Once this question has been developed examine scientific literature to determine what is already known about the subject matter. (2) Develop a hypothesis. A hypothesis is
There are four main characteristics of the scientific method: observation/measurements, make an assumption, test the assumption, and revise the assumption. The first stage we make an observations. For instance, I notice that my peppers in my garden are not growing well. I am going to assume this is because I did not water that area well enough. So I am now going to test my assumption. This is done by watering the peppers in my garden more frequently. Lastly, I am going to see if my assumption was correct. If my peppers only needed more water, they will begin to grow more rapidly. It is also possible that my assumption was wrong, and that my peppers were getting enough water; however, there could be something wrong with the soil, temperature, etc. These are the four main characteristics of the scientific method; it is important to note that our assumptions sometimes be wrong, thus it is always important that we test our assumptions to make sure we are correct.
Using your textbook as a reference, write down the steps of the scientific method in the correct order.
A) scientific process: The scientific process, also known as the scientific method is an organized way to help answer a question or to a hypothesis. The method includes six steps; make a conclusion, form a question, construct a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, analyze the data, and finally draw a conclusion, these steps can be modified once the process has been run through at least once for the same experiment.
Integrating other learning areas in our unit of work and exercising more resources that teachers can use in the classroom base upon our science unit is also a crucial element that our group was missing that needed to be included in our presentation. The classroom environment should include lots of books, visual materials, ICT devices and activities to facilitate learning and keep the student’s interests by promoting questioning and discussion to stimulate their science thinking processes and skills in a creative and encouraging environment. (Pitcher, 2014)
One known research method is the Scientific Method which is a uniform way of creating observations, assembly data, establishing concepts, testing predictions, and understanding outcomes. These observations are made in order to observe and define behaviors. The first step to take in using a scientific method is to develop an issue or question. Next step is to perform a research and observation on the issue or question that was developed. Then a hypothesis needs to be formulated after these steps have been made.
The scientific method is used during experiments to find a conclusion and or reason as to why an event or something happens.
The categorisation of female characters as heroines is often less obvious than the one of male characters as heroes. In a lot of contexts, “women and men are left with the impression that women are not heroic”. In other words, sometimes people tend to regard fictional women as inferior characters to whom the traditional notion of heroism cannot be applied. Yet, with the purpose of proving such a thesis wrong, this essay will examine the historical romance The Scarlet Letter written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Hungarian novel Colours and Years written by Margit Kaffka. Indeed, the two texts will highlight the evidence that female characters can be heroic precisely because of their
Science is the knowledge gained by a systematic study, knowledge which then becomes facts or principles. In the systematic study; the first step is observation, the second step hypothesis, the third step experimentation to test the hypothesis, and lastly the conclusion whether or not the hypothesis holds true. These steps have been ingrained into every student of science, as the basic pathway to scientific discovery. This pathway holds not decision as to good or evil intention of the experiment. Though, there are always repercussions of scientific experiments. They range from the most simplistic realizations of the difference between acid and water to the principle that Earth is not the center of
I recently went to Legally Blonde: The Musical at Northview High School on March 25th. Many of my friends starred in the show, and I was excited to see and support them! They all did so good, and I was very proud of them!
There are many steps in the scientific method that are required to perform a science experiment/project. There is the problem, the research, hypothesis, materials, procedure, experiment, analysis, and conclusion. To help me understand the steps of the scientific method. A movie was showed in science class called "Spare parts. "
Nothing Lasts forever. We are told that since a very young age. There is nothing in the world that can stand up to the test of time. Some deny this and desperately hold on to the idea that they will be the ones to prove this idea wrong. This only forstalls their fall and makes it all the grander. In a short story by the horror and romantic writer Edgar Allan Poe “The Fall of the House of Usher” one character is recognizing his own decay and tries desperately to avoid it. The two main characters, Usher and the unnamed friend of Usher who we read the story though. Ushers friend has been called by Usher, who he has not seen since childhood, to come to his house and try to cheer him up in his sickly days. Ushers friend spend the next days trying desperately to help his friend cheer up from his sickness and will bear witness to Usher’s sisters “death” and the eventual death of Usher himself. The theme that Poe focuses on throughout the story focus on the idea of decay, or more specifically the eventual death and decay of everything. Throughout the short story “The Fall of the House of Usher,” Edgar Allan Poe uses the literary Elements of setting and characterization to develop his theme of nothing lasting forever.
