Reflection Of Science In Science

Observation one is carried out straight after the lunch time break and is during a 30 minute teacher lead whole class science activity investigating light sources. This links to The National Curriculum under Science, Physical Processes - Light and Sound, (DfES, 2004). KU1.4

This activity may be challenging for Guillermo because he is still in the early intermediate range of English acquisition. Due to Guillermo’s current level of English acquisition, he may struggle with the academic vocabulary used in his science textbook. Additionally, his reading level is two years below grade level, making it likely that the reading level of the textbook is beyond his ability to read and fully

I elicited and built upon student’s response to promote thinking and develop understanding of science concepts through questioning to get student think critically about what they did at each station and how it fit together what we see happen outside the classroom. it can be seen in the video clip 2 lesson 4 minute , it can been seen in the video that students are actively engaged in answering questions and are willing to give their insight into situation. In video clip 1 The students watch a video about the chemistry of carbon. and while the students watched the video there were a list of the question that each students need to answer it, and one of these questions was asking about “what the protein are made off “This provided students

Additionally, Paula struggles staying focused and on-task during class instruction. Paula frequently gets lost and distracted with the material in front of her, but Paula makes up for it with her dedication to answer the question correctly. Frequently, Paula observes her peers respond during whole class discussions and also answers some of the questions asked during these discussions. The teacher uses these opportunities as a learning opportunity to highlight the correct answer or guide the students into saying the correct answer. It is great that Paula wants to participate in classroom discussions because she remains fully engaged and frequently offered the opportunity to state his own understandings about the concept or skill he is being taught. Drawing on this observation and the use of intervention work, the teacher can plan future opportunities to allow the students to not only communicate their understandings about the content they are being taught, but to also further drive in the content he is being

Jazzmaire tries her best in math class but the work is hard for her. She does not ask for help when she does not understand a new concept. Jazzmarie uses a calulator, multiplication chart and "cheat sheets" daily. When given an assessment, it is modified and she is allowed to make test corrections to grades below 70%.

Ms. Felkins started out with their read aloud, The Odyssey. The students were focused, but occasionally would get carried away with unrelated questions. After read aloud, the students moved on to their word study lesson. Each student had words to cut out and sort. After they cut their words they had a worksheet and made sentences that incorporated their words. As the students were working, Ms. Felkins was walking around the classroom assisting the students if needed. While the other students were working, I individually worked with a student who recently started third grade. First, the student read a short story book to me, and I assisted her with any words or sounds she was struggling with. She practiced her numbers by matching one through

As a student, Sara becomes noticeably distracted in class when she must listen to information that has been repeated to her. Sara’s capacity to quickly store new data in her inventory the first run through compared to her classmates’ capacities to do so explains why she tends to tune out and drift away. Sara’s teacher should make an adjusted instructional plan for Sara, for instance, assigning Sara with small tasks such as counting down from ten to keep her engaged while the other students transition into the next session of class or allow Sara to read every other page to the class to engage her in the story-telling process.

Joshua got 80/100 on ENGL 212 Paper # 1, and 18/25 on Exercise # 1.

A great explanation of scientific process in the book Philosophy Of Science; the Central Issues is “Russian doll model; for just as each doll contains smaller dolls inside it, so, too, each scientific theory includes the verified content of the earlier theories it has absorbed” (Curd, pg 909). In metaphysics and philosophy reductionism is claims that all sciences are reducible to physics.

While she did check for understanding by asking the class “are you with me?” throughout her explanation, Nan received numerous individual questions from her students asking for clarification after the instructional portion of the lesson (page 105). To create a better learning experience for her class, Nan should start implementing systematic teaching principals such as employing redundancy to better assist her students who struggle with completing the spider map. Many students “require additional opportunities to hear, see, and practice lessons before mastering objectives,” and because of this, some students in the lower level reading groups would benefit from more repetition in their instruction (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 81). One way Nan could implement more redundancy would be to create an example spider map with the class focusing on a room all students are familiar with, such as the classroom. By creating a spider map together, students not only would be able to practice developing their organizational skills, but the clarity of the lesson also improves as students are able to ask questions as the lesson progresses. In addition to this, Nan could have students such as Jason, who have high organizational skills assist struggling students. Doing this also helps differentiate her lesson as it allows students who have mastered this skill to solidify their

Within the last century scientific discovery has been growing at an exponential rate. Evolution, genetics, physics, and chemistry have all greatly affected the way people view the universe and human role in it. Furthermore, the application of scientific discoveries has physically changed society. For example, humans went from being flightless to eighty years later having transportation in super sonic jets available. Rapid scientific change has caused many issues surrounding morality and science to arise. The idea behind the skepticism is that just because something can be done doesnt mean it should be. Nuclear weapons, biological weapons, and cloning have all fallen under fire due to this concept. People worry that

The world of science, as we know it today, is a difficult subject to grasp. So many new ideas are present and these new ideas are not interchangeable. Some parts do work together although as a whole they don’t fully coincide with each other. The three basic ideas that science is now based upon come from Newton, Einstein, and Hawking. I call these ideas/theories “new” based on what I classify the state of the scientific community of today. After looking at what is going on in science, it is clear to me that the scientific world is in a crisis state. According to Kuhn, a crisis state is when science is in the middle of choosing a particular paradigm to work under. For scientists, there is a general theme

Alan Francis Chalmers is an associate professor who works extensive in the history and philosophy of science (physical). Alan Chalmers has taught at the University of Sydney since 1971, first in the School of Philosophy, and from 1987 at the Unit for the History and Philosophy of Science. He attained a B.Sc. in physics at the University of Bristol, and his M.Sc. in physics from the University of Manchester. His Ph.D. on the electromagnetic theory of J.C. Maxwell was granted by the University of London. He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Humanities in 1997. He has been a Visiting Scholar at the Flinders Philosophy Department since 1999.

Why do young bright minds of India want to take up science or research as a promising career path in the first place? Doesn’t it feel like a risk? What career opportunities does one have after getting a PhD? These questions are bugging me quite a lot these days. For most of us, born and brought up in middle class urban society are taught right from the start to work hard and be well educated enough to secure a good job. Seemingly it is the gateway to lead a comfortable life. I think in India it is the most important thing in life. Getting a decent job. It’s the only thing that matters. No matter how creative you are and harbor any kind of alternate ambitions otherwise it becomes secondary after a point. So growing up, the thought of pursuing science and research could only be such a far-fetched dream for many of us I guess.
