offer, clubs and its location. Out of all the majors to choose from, i find myself most interested in psychology, physics and astrophysics. Psychology and physics are a very close match. Either way a science related course and career is what i am after. Looking at lycoming being in the five percent in the nation to have a lab be apart of the introductory class. Along with the physics class at the school having much opporunity within and outside of the class. In addition to that i would minor in

students, especially those in high school or introductory science classes, as a simple variation of diffusion. Because osmosis is the first of many natural phenomena understood by students, it is important that it is understood correctly. This however, is not the case. In fact, discrepancies exist between how osmosis is taught and understood between physics and chemistry or biology [1]. Moreover, since the agreement of the real processes involved within the physics community back in 1951, no progress has

6. Conclusion 6.1 Chapter Structure This chapter describes the PASEDR (Planning- Activity-Support-Evaluation Development-Resources) model, suggested as the LD for physics in higher education. It also outlines limitations of the research and future opportunities for further studies. 6.2 Learning Design for Physics Teaching in Higher Education PASEDR Model: From the summary of the previous chapter, a PASEDR model of Learning Design has been developed (Figure 4). The arrows of the figure show the

Black holes are a staple in the study of our unknown universe. The current understanding of general relativity allows something like a black hole to exist due to the strange properties surrounding them, as well as the effects on their surroundings. Black holes are defined by Chaisson's Astronomy as "a region of space where the pull of gravity is so great that nothing, not even light can escape" (Chaisson, 2013). This definition is very broad, simply stating the effects of what we call a black hole

this paper, rather than presenting a full-scale theodicy, I engage with the problem of theodicy through careful comparative study between Wolfhart Pannenberg’s and Catherine Keller’s theodical arguments in the context of their dialogue with modern physics and biology. Pannenberg sees that theology and natural science are to be placed in hypothetical consonance , whereas Keller takes an assimilationist approach to theology-science dialogue. The divergence of their interdisciplinary

Uncertainty as a Necessary Property of the Universe There is a value in being uncertain about certainty; the value is seen in stress reduction, both in science/professional life as well as in day-to-day mundane life. The value also exists in the perpetuation or the drive for innovation. The common knee-jerk reaction to a presentation of uncertainty is to hold fear or contempt, but after some more careful consideration, uncertainty appears to be very important in nature. There are even ways to capitalize

In the analysis of the events and inspirations in my life that led to my decision on where to attend college, I view the motif of puzzles and games of logic stemming from my infancy into the current day as a major component of the reason I picked Caltech over Penn, the final two colleges in narrowing down my college search. Caltech, a very small school of 235 students per grade represented hardcore academics with an infamously difficult core curriculum, focused mainly in pure and applied math and
