reducing the demand of teachers. Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre is a site 20 miles South of Manchester which was initially set up by Bernard Lovell and the University of Manchester in 1945 as an observation station to monitor the activity of cosmic rays. Today, Jodrell Bank still operates as a leading radio astronomy facility and home to the Lovell Telescope (Jodrell Bank online). Whilst it could be assumed that the site would only be used for the teaching and learning of Science due to its scientific

Microscopy and the Metric System Margaret E. Vorndam, M.S. Version 42-0090-00-01 Lab Report Assistant This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports

was the first chemical reaction humans learned to use and control? (worldbook.com) Chemistry has helped our world come up with new, advanced technology to benefit us all. Chemistry played a role in developing the periodic table, x-rays, and the telescope. Primarily, the Periodic Table of Elements was primarily thought to be developed by Dmitri Mendeleev. However, “Antoine Lavoisier first established the modern concept of the element in the late 1700s” (worldbook). Mendeleev published his version

Microscopy is a practical field for using microscopes to view object that cannot being seen with the naked eye or object that contained by the resolution range of the normal eye. There are two fundamentally different types of microscope. 1. ELECTRON MICROSCOPE:- Consist of electromagnetic lenses to focus a beam of light . - Having magnification power up to 200000. LIGHT MICROSCOPE:- consist of a single or a series of glass lenses to focus light in order to form an image. - Having maximum ability

larger than the eyepiece lens, more light would get through the telescope. The eyepiece lens will then reflect back the image to form an inverted, magnified virtual image in front of ~. For this experiment, the formulas used are the lens equations 1/f = 1/di + 1/do to find the focal lengths of the lenses, M = fo/fe for the prediction of magnification, and M = Hi/Ho for the actual measurement of magnification. According to theory, a telescope consisting two convex lenses acting as objective and eyepiece

Kathleen Lundeen, an English professor at Western Washington University, offers a view of William Herschel’s creation of the largest telescope (for at least fifty years), and how the public received this invention. Lundeen explains that Herschel was “as renowned as a maker of telescopes as he was as an astronomer, and he oversaw the construction of several hundred instruments, which were sold in England and on the continent” (2). Herschel, his sister, and his son, all shared an interest in astronomy;

WHAT 'S IN A SCIENTIST 'S TOOL BOX? LITERATURE REVIEW The microscope has been one of the greatest contributions to scientific study known to mankind and like a hammer is found in every carpenter 's toolbox, one would find a microscope in a scientist 's toolbox. A microscope is used to view matter not obvious with 20/20 vision and can magnify objects as small as the smallest atom. The nomenclature for microscope derives from two words, mikros and skopein which means seeing small. The history

other to grow. The knowledge posed from science led to the creation of technology like telescope while the telescope technology led to a microscope that allows researchers to discover nature in a new era. According to an article by Rice University, a telescope is one of the dominant instruments of what has been referred to as the Scientific Revolution. However, according to the article, they believe that telescope was not the invention of scientists but the product of craftsmen. Rice University argue

heliocentric plans to the Catholic Church. Shockingly, things would not end to support him. In the start of the play, it depicts Galileo as a normal man with a youthful understudy. Galileo would, in the end, locate an amazing "discovery," and construct a telescope, the first of its kind. Or, then again, so they thought. All through the play, Galileo would need to defeat many obstacles keeping in mind the end goal to demonstrate his discoveries revise. Through the course of the play, I saw various things that
