My First Year Of Science

1. During gym class, four students decided to see if they could beat the norm of 45 sit‐ups in a minute. The first student did 64 sit‐ups, the second did 69, the third did 65, and the fourth did 67.

My passion for science became prominent in my freshman year of high school. That year, I was introduced to Pre-AP Biology, and I enjoyed it beyond measure. We learned about living beings and how they worked from the most general of ecosystems they lived in all the way down to the insides of their cells. My teacher made sure to push our limits of what we could learn, and although many people despised it because of this, it helped my knowledge of science grow stronger. One of the most memorable moments from that class was when we dissected a pig. Although most dissections during high school just end with a mangled pig and little to no knowledge from the encounter, we went through each and every organ and made sure we knew the function and relative

In high school, I always looked forward to science class—Biology and Anatomy and Physiology the most. Life, creatures, and the science behind it fascinated me (and still does to this day). I was with classmates that did not have the greatest interests in science like I did, but it made me more motivated.

My earliest memory of science in elementary school was in first grade. I remember walking into the classroom early in the morning and seeing plant pots lined up in the back of the room. Of course one of us asked, Mrs. Denny, what are those for? She answered like any experienced teacher “We will get to those after lunch. Thank you for noticing though.” As a young student, I was more interested about taking the plant home to my mom and showing her what I did. After lunch, we went on a walk to the atrium in the center of the school. Mrs. Denny pointed out the different kinds of plants that were in the atrium like flowers, and other small plants. We walked back to our classroom and talked about what a plant needs to grow and finally got to make a plant ourselves. We each had a cup of water, a cup of soil, a pot, and a plant. I also remember in third grade learning about the weather by creating a big picture of the water cycle with the clouds and why there is lightening and thunder. After we made the picture, we each got to write down a question about weather and Mrs. Heffernan went over each one. I loved science when I was little because I was able to explore and try new things. I struggled in math and reading because they were very black and white but science allowed creativity. I enjoyed science in elementary school because it was very hands on so I didn’t have to sit in my seat. I would define science has a content area that allows the individual to research and develop

Since we lived in such rural area, my mom decided that it was best to teach us science and interact with the outside world instead of just doing basic learning. During the summer in our blue house in the middle of nowhere, my mom would have us actually do science experiments when we were a young age. Setting up experiments on the sturdy kitchen table we would often do things like the volcano project, or study different types of rocks. If there was nice weather out we would open up the window and do experiments based on temperature and how fast something can lose heat, how to take care of plant life, or to see how condensation works in real time. So ever since I was young, I was known to be best in a science project as long as it was a hand on experiment. Never been the best in a written way, but want me to jump in a creek to we can look at specimens? I have done that, and I would so do it again. So thanks mom for setting me up for being a potential biologist. If course, you have to have curiosity when it comes to science. It was seven a.m. in farmland country, and the sun was just now rising over the treetops of the tiny woods behind the school. Being late fall we fourth graders were saying how cold it was in the late fall. Our science teacher guided us to a part of the creek that was easy to get in and out, today we were supposed to go into the water to collect samples to see if the water of the creek was

The Student Center for Science Engagement (SCSE) at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), was established in 2008 with the mission to support students majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines with the challenges they face in their academic and career development. Mentoring relationships, critical components of the SCSE’s influence, are fostered by the SCSE’s advisors, mostly Ph.D.-level minority scientists. Accessibility to STEM professionals who reflect the student population has allowed students to envision themselves as scientists. SCSE advisors have systematically implemented holistic advising including but not limited to major and career exploration, research

This year seventh grade science was a significant fascinating year. I was delighted learning numerous subjects, for example, minerals, rock types, the human body system and how it functions, the heart, invertebrates, chemicals and chemistry, and so on. I took in a great deal from science labs, books, review sheets, and powerpoints (that Ms.Castonguay made). The subjects that were in the course book helped me understand more about the lesson we were learning. I adapted more vocabulary words, however some perplexing words in the course reading dazed me. The powerpoints, or slideshow was considerably more accommodating. We needed to fill in the blanks on the worksheet given to us, and that would help us study for the test. The worksheets printed

Learning science can be exciting if you have the right teacher. Science classes are not challenging, however depending on the teacher's level of understanding it can be the end of your child's love for science. There are a small number of professions that do not require science, consequently the parent should step in if their desire is for the student to have the opportunity for them to pursue any career they desire. Start by

I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with science. From a young age, I remember searching through the internet to answer every question I had and asking my parents - both with PhDs - about the world around me. One day, I discovered a documentary: Battlefield Cell. In that moment, I was hooked on learning and had a problem I wanted to solve.

My first memory of doing a science activity in school was bird watching in kindergarten. I remember my teacher took my class outside and gave each of us a sheet of paper. She told us to draw every different bird that we saw. When we came back inside, she showed us pictures of different types of birds in our area and had us tell her which birds we saw. I remember that I really enjoyed doing this activity. I think I liked it because instead of having class inside, we got to have class outside. I also liked having the freedom to walk around outside and look for birds without my teacher with me the entire time. Another reason that this memory stands out is because it was my first real science activity in

My love for science started when I took a biology class during my freshman year at Crest High School. I loved the teacher and the subject; it included a little bit of everything, including things like anatomy and ecology. It was interesting learning about the different parts of science and I thought the material came easy to me and helped me become successful in the class. During my sophomore year, I decided to take Ap Biology. The class challenged me in many ways It taught me how to improve my study skills and become a better student since the class provided a deeper insight into things that I had already been taught. This class was a bit more difficult and required a lot of studying at home besides what we would do in class. I found the

Today I will be writing about how my interest in the general branch of studies known as science grew in my time at Blackfoot high school. I started getting interested in science from a young age when i would listen to my brother tell my mom and dad about what he had learned in chemistry that day. I was fascinated by the fact that there was a way to explain everything that has happened or will happen in the universe can be explained. I was fascinated to learn that such phenomena as the sun and explosions can be broken down into a small mathematical formula explaining all that happens in that split second. So, that started what would become my passion.

From the beginning of high school, I've had many opportunities to engage in science activities that allowed me to discover the science fields. For example, my freshmen year I attended the Salk Institute's March of Dimes for high school. Here, I became familiar with research on STEM cells and neurology. This was an experience that allowed to go inside actual laboratories to see different projects in action. This was my first true encounter with professional science as a full time career, and it triggered my interest to discover more about the science and research profession.

Looking back, my positive experiences with science are from me being independent and with hands on approaches. It is very rewarding to see something happen and know it was my individual work doing it. Independence also helps a person grow and it is important to start learning it at a young age. Hands on science is also very positive, it got me engaged and excited about learning and retaining the information was much

Science has and always will play a constant important role in my daily life, maybe more so than others. Science for me has not always been my strong subject in school and I very easily tend to get intimidated. But when I look at my daily life and realize how much science plays a role in it, I cannot help but smile. Science is not at all bad, it has allowed me to do many things every day, even if I do not take the time to stop and think about it, it is there. From the way the microwave heats up the water for my coffee every morning or the way my body digests the food I eat every meal and makes
