For SCE500, we get Madam Siti Fairuz Dalim as our lecturer. My first impression about her is she is so kind and beautiful 😍

Madam starts the class by introducing herself and explain about the scheme of work for this course. I get shocked because this course has a lot of presentations. I don't really mind about it as I will take this opportunity to improve my presentation skills.

At the end of the class session, madam gives us a task group task, which is we have to present in the next class.

# data[].attributes.body
Right after the class, we discuss among of our classmates. Oh yes I forget to mention that in this class, we has been combined with students biology. We list out a name by a group. So in total we have only 5 groups with 7 members each.

My group which is group 1 choose topic "What is Science?" for the next week presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeay!! We were really excited since it is our first presentation for SCE500. Sadly, madam cannot set up the google meet since she is accompanied her baby in the hospital. So, madam take initiative to do the presentation through Whatsapp.

Agenda of week 2:
✔ Presentation group 1
- What is science
✔ Presentation group 2
- How science work
✔ Presentation group 3
- Core of sciences
✔ Presentation group 4

GROUP 2                         HOW SCIENCE WORK

# data[].attributes.body
🟠Science work according to
scientific method
🟠The aim of the result is to
support or contradict a theory.
🟠Steps in scientific method:
-Make observation
-Identify the problems
-Do a research
-Formulate a hypothesis
-Perform an experiment
-Accept or reject hypothesis
(need to be test)
-Make a conclusion based on
hypothesis
-Do a report on it
🟠Deductive reasoning is a
process of using theories to
reach a logical true conclusion.
🟠Inductive reasoning is to make
a specific observation and draw
a general conclusion.

Hi !
For today class, we have to refer on the google classroom and do a task. The task is submitted through google classroom.

Agenda of week 3:
✔ Videos on science method
✔ Search movie for video reflection

Elements in the scientific method experiments:
✨ Problem
✨ Hypothesis
✨ Experiment
✨ Observations
✨ Conclusion

# data[].attributes.body
In searching for the short video on this experiment, we did not spend too lot of time as it is just a simple video.

Here is our chosen experiment:
👇👇👇👇

# data[].attributes.body
The elements seems like simple one. As for me, the challenging part is when we wanted to identify for each elements. We have to carefully determined the part to be put in each elements. It took us for like 1 hour to identify the elements.

So here is our answers:

# data[].attributes.body
What can I learnt from the group task?
◽ Simple experiment can be done
anywhere even at home.
◽ Aware that every experiment
needs to have a plan.
◽ But in real life, scientist will look
up to the problem to conduct an
experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
🌴 There are many ways to
describe mean of science. One
of it is science as a way of
knowledge.

🌴 Science is a particular way
about knowing the world.

🌴 There are 5 branches of
science:
- Earth & space
- Social science
- Life science
- Physical science
- Formal science

🌴 Science studies about natural
world such as human,
ecosystems and galaxies.
Science cannot study
supernatural forces such as
afterlife and big bang. Because
it cannot be proved.

Hello guys!
Guess who are excited yet still nervous to do a presentation today. It's me!!!

Agenda of week 5:
✔ Recap chapter 4
✔ Presentation of group 1
✔ Presentation of group 2

Group 5             SCIENTIFIC APPROACH  

# data[].attributes.subject
Group 5             SCIENTIFIC APPROACH  

# data[].attributes.body
🟡Many scientist explored about scientific method but they did not documentation it.

🟡Dr. Galileo Galilei and Francis Bacon has been explore more about scientific method.

🟡 Scientific approach have 2
types:
- quantitative data (eg: in
biology)
- qualitative data (eg: in social
science)

🟡 In conclusion, scientific
method is a repeatation
process because we will never
get an accurate answer to
reject or accept the hypothesis.

# data[].attributes.body
After the class session, madam did posted a task in the google classroom.

The question is 'How do you apply scientific method to life'. We have to watch the video attached then we must post our answer in the comment section.

So here is my answer:

# data[].attributes.body
Agenda of week 4
✔ Recap on week 2
✔ Recap on week 3

# data[].attributes.body
Science can be found anywhere. It also can be seen all around us. Every single thing that we do, feel and taste are related to science.
As an example, the oxygen. We lived because of the presence of oxygen. Science makes human triggered and try hard to explore about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Agenda of week 7:
✔ Learn topic:
Theories, hypothesis and law.
✔ Presentation of group 5

# data[].attributes.body
🔸There are 4 terms need to be
known:
- Facts
- Hypothesis
- Theories
- Laws

🔸There are differences between
hypothesis and theories.
Hypothesis is a prediction while
theories is an explanation of
why we observe something.

🔸A law governs a single action or
situation while theory explains
an entire group of related
phenomena.

Comments:
(based on madam)

1. Organization is good.

2. More critical reflection that has been mention in the presentation.

3. They related the component in the movie with the current issues.

# data[].attributes.body
🔸We get a little bit upset for the negative comments because I think we all have included all the elements that we need to include. As for the introduction, we did mention the title of the movie before we start the introduction.

🔸But we still take the comments for improvement for next presentation.

🔸For today lesson, I did learnt from mistakes that my group did. If I compared with the group 2, my group have give a little bit characteristics of science rather than group 2.

Overall there are much improvements from the previous week.

# data[].attributes.body
In this week, I learnt a lot from these movie reviews:

1. Science is very useful to the human and future. There are many benefits of science that can be applied. But science also can be dangerous for the future environment. As we can see in the

Oh no! Since this week is already in week 14, so today is our last meeting session for subject SCE500.

Agenda of week 14:
✔ QNA session
✔ Share your thoughts

# data[].attributes.body
In this session we can ask any questions regarding the assignments or any related topic on nature of science.

So here some of the questions and answers 👇👇

Q: Madam, where we should submit the e-portfolio and case study?

A: Madam will create the slots in google classroom.

🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬

Q: Madam, is it okay if our eportfolio only have not so much of explanation and have a lot of photos?

Also, it is okay if my portfolio has a lot of explanation rather than pictures?

A: Yes it is okay. Madam can see students' understanding based on the explanation.

🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬

Q: Madam , do we need to cite our own picture?

A: No need cite. Only mention which picture you are referring to.

🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬🧬

Q: Madam, the scientist that I am being doing research on do not have a lot of information about his background like early education, it just tell about what his contribution at that time, it is ok for that?

A: Ok. What's more important is how you relate the elements of nature of science.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I think this course is quite boring because yes i did not really love science. I thought that in this course I will learn about experiments only and must do the lab reports so on.

After I learned SCE500, I do get deep knowledge of science. I just know that science also has characteristics. One of the characteristics is science is fun! Now I do agree with that because yes I do enjoy learning science. As this course needs everyone's participation, this made the presentation sessions fun. I can see the others’ points of view and their understanding of the issues. In these topics, I learned that if I wanted to claim something, I must follow the steps in science and I must have proof.

TOPIC : Science, Religion and
Common Sense.
BY : GROUP 5

📍FAITH AND FACT

▶ Faith : religion decides truth not empirically but via dogma, revelation , scripture and authority.

▶ Fact : Prove the truth by using testable empirical evidence and observation as their method.

📍SCIENCE AND COMMON SENSE

▶ Science applies empirically tested conceptual schemes and theoretical structures.

▶ Common sense is a theory that is explained in an ad hoc manner with no specific frameworks that are based on widely accepted understanding.

▶ Science is not common sense.

📍SCIENCE AND RELIGION

▶ There are 3 major religion which are:
- Islam
- Christianity
- Hinduism

▶ Islam and Christianity opposed theory of evolution by Charles Darwin as it opposed their religion but Hinduism embrace the theory due to the belief of reincarnation.

▶ Science and religion are reliable with each other.

Group 5- Science, Religion & Common Sense (PART 3)

# data[].attributes.body
🔸Science is not common sense because it cannot be measured. Common sense also can be biased as different people have different belief and understanding. Science can be proved using empirical evidence.

🔸Science and Islam cannot be separated. As we can see in history, we have a great scientist such as Ibn Sina.

🔸Lastly, I can say that science is relatable to the human and our daily lives. As we can see, science, religion, and common sense are relatable to each other. I feel so lucky to learn this knowledge for this semester.

Comments on this group:
- Good interaction with audience
- Seems they have a good preparation for the presentation.

TOPIC: Confirmation in Science
BY: GROUP 3

📍RAVEN PARADOX
▶ It is a contradiction that arises from the question of what constitutes proof for a given proposition.

▶ There are 2 types of reasoning:
1. Deductive reasoning
2. Inductive reasoning.

📍CONFIRMATION BIAS
▶ A type of cognitive bias in which you prefer information that supports your current ideas or prejudices.

▶ 3 types of confirmation bias:
- Biased search for information
- Biased interpretation
- Biased memory

▶ Science, according to Karl Popper, is all about falsification rather than confirmation, in which a succession of hypothesis and refutation is used.

Example:
- Hypothesis: All apple are red.
- They will search for another color of apple as an evidence.

# data[].attributes.body
TOPIC: Objective Evidence
BY: GROUP 4

📍DEFINITION
▶ Something that can be used to back up a claim.

▶ Evidence can be used to back up or deny a scientific theory or hypothesis.

📍TYPES OF EVIDENCE
1. Objective evidence - based on analysis, data and fact. It can be verifiable.

2. Subjective evidence - based on personal feeling and opinions. It is non-verifiable.

📍CHARACTERISTICS OF OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE
1. Firsthand
2. Traceable
3. Unbiased
4. Factual

✔ If you write down what you saw or heard , you are writing objective report

❌If you write down your thought, you are writing a subjective report.

For further explanation, please click the link below:
Part 1/3

# data[].attributes.body
🔸 Confirmation is about on how we want to make the research, hypothesis and reasoning.

🔸Example:
Students always apply the confirmation bias. For example when they do the assignment, they tend to search for findings or facts to support their findings or facts.

🔸 Biased interpretation can be explained in the simplest way as different people have different idea and opinion.
For example, Covid-19 cases were arising these days. Some people think that oh we must do full lockdown but some of them think no, we cannot do full lockdown as it will bring down the country's economy.

🔸 Scientist did a good decision if they apply the falsification theory. As they did not simply clarify anything.

Comments on this group:
- They have a lot of qna session which will make the audience understand and clear about the topic.
- In this session, they had a technical issues of not having time to upload their videos to Youtube. My suggestion, they better upload their video the day before they do the presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
Part 2/3

# data[].attributes.body
Part 3/3

# data[].attributes.body
🔸 Objective evidence is a something that can be seen, touch, feel and proven.

🔸 We did apply the objective evidence in our daily life.
Example:
A student do their assignment by put a citation on the article that they have been referring to.

🔸As the conclusion, we must not easily believe in something such as rumors unless there is a objective evidence included.

Comments on this group:
- They answer all the questions given by the audience.
- Their way of delivery is easy to understand.
- The examples used is relatable.

Movie title: Avatar

Science characteristics in this movie are:
-Creative
-Careful observation and curious
-Skeptical

# data[].attributes.body
1. This group did know what is the movie about.

2. They did explains well about the characteristic of the character.

3. Many elements of science implement in this movie.

# data[].attributes.body
In this movie, there are many elements of science can be found. As a scientist or the one who involve with science, they really need creativity in doing the research. It is important in making plan B if plan A did not work out. Next, curiosity can give many benefits as it can lead to a new discovery. Lastly, technology is really relatable with science. Without technology, we still have to use the traditional method in our daily life 😍

TOPIC: Observation & Explanation
BY: GROUP 1

📍OBSERVATION

▶ Types of observation
1. Quantitative observation (eg: age, weight)
2. Qualitative observation (eg: color, shapes, textures)

▶ Characteristics of observation
- Systematic method
- Aim
- Objective
- Quantitative
- Specific
- Verifiable

▶ Method of making observation
- Own sense (eg: smell, taste)
- Equipment (eg: camera, litmus paper, telescope)

📍EXPLANATION

▶ Explanation is a set of statements that is usually constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the cause, context and consequences of other facts. The questioning is based on observation.

▶ Model of explanation
- Covering-law model
- Unificationist model
- Causal mechanical model

▶ Type of explanation
- Deductive nomological
- Functional
- Historical
- Psychological

▶Method of explanation
- Arguments (a quarrel between people)
- Justification (reason why someone properly holds a belief, the explanation as why the belief is true one)

PART 1 : SCE 500 - Nature of Science (Observation & Explanation)

# data[].attributes.body
TOPIC: Underdetermination
BY: GROUP 2

📍 DEFINITION
▶ The idea that the evidence we have at a given time may not be enough to determine our beliefs.

📍 HOLISTIC UNDERDETERMINATION
▶ scientist always try to falsify their own theory to make the theory become more stronger.

📍CONTRASTIVE UNDERDETERMINATION
▶ Takes a set of evidence and shows that more than one theory can be supported by it.

📍TRANSIENT UNDERDETERMINATION
▶ That the underdetermination hypothesis still provides vital insights into the limits of scientific knowledge.

For further explanation, please click the link below:

# data[].attributes.body
🔸All evidence necessarily underdetermines by any scientific thoery.

🔸Holistic underdetermination using falsification theory. From of my understanding, when all of the theory's opponents are shown to be wrong, a conclusion is reached.

🔸 In contrastive underdetermination, no single theory can be proven to be correct or even weakly true; rather, it must be one of a group of theories that are supported by evidence.

Comments on this group:
- They start the presentation nicely.
- The games that they provide also easily to be understand.
- They conduct the presentation well.

🎯 First impression about SCE500
At first I feel like why I have to learn science as I in pursue in mathematics? This is my first time taking code SCE. My friend from education of science did tell me that SCE is quite tiring as we have to conduct the class for 3 hours. But at that time I cannot remember which SCE code that she mentioned. But hopefully for this course, I can give more focus as I not really master in science.

# data[].attributes.body
🔸 Observation is something we do when conduct an experiments while explanation is the answer for the questioning when do the experiments.

🔸 There are many benefits in conducting experiment by using observation which are universal method, gain understanding of the researcher and data accuracy can check directly.

🔸 In anything, there must have a limitations. When we are doing observation, we must bare the cost as it is expensive. For instance, travelling. It also not good for the blind people as they cannot use their eyes to observe the phenomenon.

P/S: This is an honest feeling from me.

I feel really excited to conduct this presentation as we already prepared for this almost two weeks. We do a concept of bring students to the Petrosains with a guide from the captain and each of them will get an ipad to look forward to the presentation. We do expect madam will give a good comments to our group as our movie review presentation did not goes well. But unfortunately, madam seems like didn't get interest into our group. I can say that as madam only interrupt us at the end of the session. I don't know how to interpret that but I just thinking positively ✨ Like oh maybe we did perform well and can handle the presentation smoothly so that madam did not interrupt into our session. But it is okay we already do the preparation well and yes our classmates also enjoy the session. 😍 Its good to hear that as we put so much effort on the preparation of the presentation. I am so sorry on behalf of my group and myself that we may not achieve madam's expectation on the presentation 🙏

# data[].attributes.body
Today madam just only give space to us to ask her regarding the presentation and continuous assignments

Agenda of week 8:
✔ QNA session

# data[].attributes.body
Wrap up the answers:

1. All members in the group have to play the role in the presentation session.

2. Presenters must have at least one activity to demonstrate the steps of the topic. Whether use deductive or inductive approach.

3. Each group must prepare the recorded version of the presentation part by part as madam worry that there will have technical issue and did not have enough time to finish the presentation.

4. Powerpoint slides and video presentation must be submit together.

5. Maximum hour for all presentation is 2 hours and 30 minutes.

6. Complete slides of presentation may be send to madam first to be reviewed.

# data[].attributes.body
As for me, I did really love having QNA session with lecturer before starting the presentation. It is better having QNA session as me my self sometimes did not think about question that my friends ask to madam. So that I also will get a new knowledge and can keep in mind to stay in the track during the presentation session.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for the knowledge , your time consuming in teaching us in this subject and give guidance to us to complete our assignments. Hope to see madam again in the next semester, in different subject 😍 I will be glad to learn with madam again after this. I am really sorry if I've hurt your feeling during this semester. Stay safe ya madam😊🌹
