Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research is an important component of academic learning in Scientific Inquiry. This independent learning opportunity allows advanced students to delve into real-world research with faculty who are currently engaged in specific projects. Students typically begin by working in apprenticeship with faculty or laboratory staff and gradually take on more independent projects within the context of the specific research program as they gain experience.

The objective of this thesis is to describe and analyse customs of science teaching in secondary schools and teacher education programmes in Sweden in relation to the notion of inquiry in science education. The main focus is on customs of language use and the educational goal of learning about scientific inquiry as distinct from the related goals of learning to do inquiry and learning canonical science content. There is also an exploration and description of different teaching approaches associated with inquiry. Previous research has noted that a key issue for reaching the goal of learning about scientific inquiry is the extent to which teachers are able to guide students to explicitly reflect upon this topic. A prerequisite is that teachers give students access to relevant categories of language for explicit reflection on the characteristics of scientific inquiry. Because of the situated nature of language use and learning, this also raises the need to address topics of context, culture and ...

Peeling back the clouds on an alien world.. Earths is already hot and getting hotter.. Pulling the plug on old school light bulbs.. And drinkings damaging DNA. Coming up today…On Science!. Hello and welcome to On Science. Im Emerald Robinson.. Hubble has uncovered more of a mysterious alien world. Scientists had been studying super-Earth exoplanet GJ1214b and knew a little bit about it. But after 96 hours of study with the Hubble Telescope, they know a lot more. GJ1214b is located 40 light-years from Earth towards the constellation Ophiuchus. It orbits its parent star every 38 hours, which makes its atmosphere easier to study. That study revealed evidence of clouds blanketing the planet. These clouds, however, hid the composition and behavior of the planet below. Even though Hubble wasnt originally designed with such studies in mind, the team pushed the telescope to its limits. And what did they have to say for themselves? Its exciting!. Earth, on the other hand, wont be so hidden ...

This caricaturing of science is confusing and misleading. Breakthrough as scientists create first drug to halt Alzheimers disease, breathlessly reads one. Betting study used monkey brains, cries another, this one fuelled by the activities of animal rights campaigners. Though not alone, animal research is a particularly frequent victim of the black box effect. This is at least partly due to scientists reluctance to speak about animal research, ironically stemming from anxiety about misrepresentation of their work, or even possible retaliation from animal rights activists.. Science is not a string of groundbreaking discoveries communicated through press releases, tweets, and hurried mass emails. Rather, it is incremental, nuanced, and often contradictory. It is defined as much by its methods and their limitations as it is by its breakthroughs. For science communication to work, it has to embrace this complexity, bringing the scientific method, and its baggage, to the foreground.. In ...

Make new friends, but keep the old - but what if you move 10,000 miles away??. This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science.. Foxgloves are purple or white bell-shaped flowers native to Europe. They hang off the stem, like fruits, and have short tubes that store nectar. Perfectly shaped for bumblebees! Two centuries ago, some foxgloves left their bumble-buddies and moved to the Americas. Did THEY make new friends? Christopher Mackin at Birmingham University, UK, and his colleagues wondered. Over three years, the researchers recorded the flowers visitors in England, Colombia and Costa Rica. They carefully kept watch for three minutes at a time, around one week each year... And hey! The flowers made some new besties - hummingbirds! But did they completely forsake their bee-buddies? Foxgloves in the Americas had about twenty percent LONGER tubes than the European ones! So long-billed birds find it easier to get at the nectar than short-tongued bees do.. With humans changing their ...

A little fishing line, a little sewing thread, et voila: muscles! This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science, saying:. Well, maybe not so easy as that. Ask Ray Baughman of the University of Texas at Dallas. He and colleagues have teamed up to make artificial muscles from these common materials. Polyethylene and nylon fibers - which are used to make fishing line and sewing thread - are super cheap. Baughmans team twisted and coiled nylon fibers into cords and braids. All twisted up, the cords can store a lot of potential energy. Kind of like a rubberband airplane. Turning and turning the propeller of a toy plane twists the rubberband around the propeller tighter and tighter. Thats stored potential energy. Let it go, and zoom! Rubberband muscle power!. But for nylon muscles, add a little bit of heat and the cords bounce. Thats a lot like our muscle fibers contracting and relaxing with nerve impulses. Only nylon muscles are a hundred times stronger. Artificial muscles could someday ...

Creativity facilitates scientists in their investigations of new problems or with a new orientation. However, K-12 science education typically does not acknowledge this aspect of creativity. Science/Technology/Society provides an avenue for creativity when addressing inquiry. The use of Cothron et al.s [1] four question strategy allows for a planning approach for inquiry.

The scientific method is an empirical method of knowledge acquisition which has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century. It involves careful observation, which includes rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions about how the world works influence how one interprets a percept. It involves formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings. These are principles of the scientific method, as opposed to a definitive series of steps applicable to all scientific enterprises.[1][2][3] Though there are diverse models for the scientific method available, in general there is a continuous process that includes observations about the natural world. People are naturally inquisitive, so they often come up with questions about things they see or hear, and they ...

So how exactly did Toys R Us miss the mark? Well, they portrayed nature as a drab, boring place and toys as much more exciting. However, here is a list (in no particular order) of compelling reasons from doctors and other experts in the environmental education field on why kids need nature, not just toys, in their lives.. 1. Children who climb trees, make mud pies, explore streams, stare at clouds, collect leaves, make swords of sticks, wish on dandelions, build forts and fairy houses-these children are exercising their bodies as they exercise their imaginations, with no batteries required, and are immeasurably the richer for it. Todd Christopher, Senior Director of Online Communications with National Parks Conservation Association and author of The Green Hour. 2. Time outdoors reduces obesity, improves academic learning and behavior, and helps gets kids excited about learning. Amanda Paulson, Staff Writer with Christian Science Monitor. 3. Because our health is intimately linked to the ...

The National Science Foundation is very conscious of this problem, is wrestling with it, but this requires funds.. There is one way to deal with this problem. The Department of Defense has had a program where it would give a block of money to a very distinguished person, for example, a theoretical physicist like Hans Bethe. He would assume responsibility that the young men at Cornell University would be supported.. That sort of thing is disappearing. It goes back to two things: Budgets and the narrowing notion of what is important to a mission agency.. You state a problem that all of us are worried about; the future of American intellectual life depends on assistant professors. They are having the toughest time in getting support.. Dr. KEENEY. It is quite true. It is also quite difficult for universities to find funds to support them, and especially outside of sciences you really have to steal money. But I think you ought to also worry about the senior man who is not very bright and who doesnt ...

Budapest, Hungary, 28th of July - 2nd of August, 2009. The scientific studies of science have, in the last decades, emphasized the diversity, richness and complexity of scientific practices. In this context, where people are departing from the initial restrictive focus on language, the role of visualization in science appears to be pervasive. Scientists look at the result of their experiments, they produce images and graphs for thinking about the phenomena they investigate and they communicate to their peers with visual artifacts. Tools for the generation of images, ranging from multiple types of microscopes and telescopes to computer generating graphs and 3D pictures, are constantly being developed and are often fully incorporated in scientific practices. Scientists and mathematicians often generate, interpret and manipulate them as part of their scientific work.. Why is visualization so pervasive in scientific practices and thought processes? What does visualization enable scientists to ...

Tropical medicine revolves around empowerment, and sharing knowledge is a key concept regarding this. Many control programmes, such as mass drug administration programmes, will be undertaken in countries that have been previously neglected. Mass drug administration consists of distributing drugs in large numbers, often against worm infections, for prevention of a disease, rather than necessarily cure. Most commonly it is children in lower income countries that are infected heavily with worm infections. Daily practices, such as playing or not wearing shoes, unfortunately can increase the exposure of these children to certain worm infections. This constant exposure that is difficult to prevent has meant that mass drug administration has been highly successful in keeping the worm infections low, whether this is preventing reinfection, or treating an active one. The implementation of control programmes involves building trust between locals and researchers, busting myths around the motives for ...

There was a long and extended debate, for example, over the issue of Gardasil (advertised as protection against some forms of the Human-Pappiloma Virus), the attempts to make it mandatory, and (in my view) the heroic resistance to it that swept the country. Same with the attempts to make mandatory the genetically engineered smallpox vaccine. The national fight there was led by the then-California Nurses Association and it helped roll-back national policy, saving many lives.. So one could look at vaccines separately, one ...

As 2020 drew to an end I was invited again by FameLab and friends from Bulgaria to give my biased opinion about what is the most important scientific discovery in said cursed year. I did this together with several other FameLab finalists and the whole thing even aired on national TV, in the evening news […]. ...

I have a BS in biology with a specialization in neuroscience from the University of Chicago and a PhD in Anatomical Sciences and Neurobiology from the University of Louisville. I originally came to the DC area for a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism where my research focused on the role of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in motor system development of zebrafish. During my postdoc at NIH, I developed an interest in science communication and policy. I co-chaired the Fellows Committee on Career Development and the Science Policy Discussion Group, and interned part-time in the Office of Research on Womens Health. From there I went on to complete a Christine Mirzayan Science Policy & Technology Policy Fellowship at the National Academies Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders followed by a AAAS Science Policy & Technology Fellowship at NIH where I was placed in the Office of the Director at NINDS.. Which aspects of your background ...

The purpose of this case study is to reveal prospective science teachers knowledge and achievement levels in electricity-related subjects. The data for the study were collected from 44 prospective teachers using three measurement tools. The data were then analyzed using software developed for the Probability and Possibility Calculation Statistics for Data Variables method, developed by Yilmaz (2011). It was concluded that prospective science teachers achievement levels in mathematical logic in electricity-related subjects are influenced by their achievement levels in physics and basic mathematical procedures, as well as their knowledge levels. However, it was observed that the main influence on their achievement level in mathematical logic is the logical structure of knowledge, and not the knowledge level in the variables

Minerva creativity wins through at ESOF 16 The Minerva team achieved great success for itself and the science it represents at the Euro Science Open Forum (ESOF) in Manchester this Summer, 2016.. Not only did Minerva create a stand that was buzzing throughout the event promoting its lead knowledge transfer project CommBeBiz, but Minerva also staged two, highly successful events. The focus of the events - won through a highly competitive process prior to ESOF - was for early stage European researchers and another of its projects, I.Family.. Alongside Minerva-based activities, Director of Minerva, Rhonda Smith also helped to design and deliver an engaging and impactful workshop on Science Communication, on behalf of the European Commission. More than 180 co-ordinators of European projects took part and worked on topics as diverse as space to cruise ship collisions, and farmed animal welfare to personalised medicine. You can find links to presentations from the day here.. The standing-room-only ...

That a great deal is presently expected from phylo genetic analysis is clear from many university positions presently being offered for phylogenetic systematists (especially those using molecular techniques) and from the amount of U.S. National Science Foundation grant support. As to the latter, for the year 1997 (National Science Foundation 1997), more than $14 million was awarded in 96 grants for systematic research. Of these, 55 awards (57%) had the words phylo geny or cladistic or mole cular systematics or some variant in their title: these grants totalled about $7.5 million, averaging $135,000 per grant. An additional 16 grants (16%) had the word evolu tion or a variant in their title: these grants totalled about $1.5 million, averaging $97,000 per grant. The 23 remaining systematics research grants (23%) totalled about $5.3 million, averaging $250,000 per grant; for these, any emphasis on phylo genetics could not be told from their titles. If one combines the phylo genetic and evolution ...
