How my scientific perspective has changed since the beginning of the semester

# data[].attributes.body
-I do not believe I had much, if any, of a scientific perspective at the beginning of the semester. I perceived Science as a required class for students in school.
-My scientific perspective has changed drastically since January. Between the learning materials, observations conducted, and notebook assignments, I now perceive Science as a part of our daily lives.
-Because my curiosity and wonder have grown as a result of this course, so will my scientific perspective. The more I search for answers to the things I am curious about, the more I will understand how Science works in those situations.

How microscopic changes have macroscopic effects

# data[].attributes.body
-Microscopic changes having macroscopic effects is something I have never thought about. Those changes and effects have always been around, but I did not have the knowledge to give them any thought.
-My thinking about this topic changed this past winter during one of the few freezes we experienced. A microscopic change in the water in the pipes under my house had a macroscopic effect, causing my pipes to burst.
-I will take notice of any big changes happening either at my school or in my life. From there, I can work backward to figure out if that change was actually caused by something a fraction of it's size.

The characteristics of life and what it means to be living/alive

The characteristics of life and what it means to be living/alive

# data[].attributes.body
-The characteristics of life and what it means to be alive were something I never gave much thought to outside of animals, plants, and humans. I was taught plants are living things, and as long as humans and animals are breathing, they are alive were my thoughts.
-Through the learning materials and notebook in module 2, my thinking has changed from a very narrow perspective of life to a much broader one. Not only has the way I think bout this topic changed, but also the way I view things in the world around me. Realizing that all living things share so many characteristics gave me a new appreciation for life and what it means to be living.
-Curiosity and my inquiring mind will help me grow in this topic after NS100. I now know the characteristics living organisms share, but I have yet to learn how so many of those organisms reproduce, metabolize, or adapt. I will research these types of things so I may learn all I can about other living organisms on this planet.

How the scientific method relates to scientific inquiry and how inquiry-based learning impacts students' learning

How the scientific method relates to scientific inquiry and how inquiry-based learning impacts students' learning

# data[].attributes.body
-I have never been conscious of the scientific method or inquiry-based thinking/learning. Before NS100, I did not have the knowledge to notice or encourage these types of thinking and learning in the classrooms I am in.
-Our scientific inquiry assignment transformed the way I think about the scientific method and inquiry. I saw first hand the benefits these methods provide in the classroom, and I also left that observation with many new ideas of how I will use these methods to help my students in other subjects as well.
-After NS100, I plan to practice these methods in my classroom and in my daily life. I will approach situations with scientific based thinking and an inquiring mind. The more I inquire and learn about it, the more I will be able to help my students and myself grow.

# data[].attributes.body
-Before learning about Science and how it works, my thoughts about those things were Chemistry and Rocket Science. I have always avoided the subject because I felt it was beyond my scope.
-Learning the information needed to complete the module 1 notebook changed my idea of what Science is and how it works. I learned that Science is all around me, all the time. The most important thing I learned is that Science is not only experiments and rockets, but it is also embedded in the way we think and act.
-Whenever I recognize something related to Science or the way it works, I will make a point to share that information with other students or teachers around me. If I simply recognize the scientific situation and move on, I will not grow. Sharing with someone, will force me to stop and inquire for that much longer, which will create growth.

How my experiences with NS100 relate to my apprenticeship in the classroom

How my experiences with NS100 relate to my apprenticeship in the classroom

# data[].attributes.body
-Before having any experience with NS100, I would have never thought a Science class would relate to any of my duties in the classroom.
-My thinking about the relation of my position at school to NS100 evolved mostly from the observation assignments. Watching and listening to students I work with every day successfully use the methods I was currently learning in NS100 made a connection between the two I did not even know existed.
-With my new appreciation for Science and the connection of NS100 and my job as an educator, I will be more of an advocate at school for Science education. I will do my best to help my students form the same appreciation I now have.
