I feel that NS 100 didn't change my thinking on the topic. I have always had a good understanding of science as a whole.

One thing I did realize was how more in-depth science was. During the natural selection lab, I was made aware of how specific scientists had to be to fully understand what they were studying.

I will continue to grow in knowing the meaning of science by always keeping my mind open when it comes to the topic. I hope to always try to fully grasp whatever science concepts I am reading about.

Before NS 100, I was not that aware of the scientific method. I had heard about it in my high school science classes, but I never fully understood it before this class.

After interviewing a classroom teacher for the science assignment analysis, I learned how important it was for students to learn about the scientific method. She made a great point that it helps students understand the process of failure and the importance of trying again.

I will continue to grow in my knowledge of the scientific method by using it whenever I can. I want to use it during science activities with my students so I can fully utilize the scientific method.

Before NS 100, I was vaguely familiar with what life is and its characteristics.  We covered it briefly in biology, but we never went as in-depth as this class.

My thinking about what life is has changed because I am now aware of how many things are classified as life and what life needs to form. After watching Life on Earth, I was made aware of what life needs in order to form and I did not know how absolute everything needed to be.

I will continue to grow in this topic by doing more reading about what life is and what it means. I will also try to identify things I encounter in my daily life as living things to better understand their characteristics.

Before NS 100, I didn't realize how big an effect little things had on the bigger picture. I was aware of the butterfly effect, but not the role it played in science.

Going through the Recent Adaptations in Humans slide deck, I learned that a small genetic mutation causes such a daunting disease like Sickle Cell Anemia. It was interesting to find out what such a small thing can do to a body with a strong immune system.

I will continue to grow in this topic by pointing out things that were caused by such small changes. I think it will help me grow in my world view.

Before NS 100, I did not have a good understanding of the world of science. NS 100 made me more aware of the different components that make up the scientific perspective.

After watching the Neil Degrasse Tyson video, I was able to see science as more of a dominant force in the modern world. It astonished me the amount of people who do not take it seriously.

I will continue to grow in this topic by constantly absorbing scientific information to further impact my scientific perspective. I have developed an interest in analyzing other people's scientific perspectives.

Before NS 100, I didn't know how important it was to teach science in depth. I am now aware of the impact it has on our students.

While interviewing the teacher I work with for the science assignment analysis, I got a really good insight into the importance of teaching science in a classroom. It really opens up young minds and teaches them how to think for themselves.

I will continue to grow in this topic by observing more science lessons and noticing when students are having aha moments. I will also do my best to adequately teach science in my future classroom.
