Science works by going through the steps of the Scientific Method. The first step is identifying the problem. The second step is to do research. The third step is to form a hypothesis. The fourth step is to do experiments and the fifth is to gather information. The sixth and final step is to give a conclusion.]]> 2022-10-08 19:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332119529 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332125421 Before NS 100 my thinking on Science was that I knew it was important and people did experiments. My thinking about Science changed when I watched the video "Science in America" the speaker in the video explained Science in a way that was interesting and I could understand. (https://youtu.be/8MqTOEospfo) Now that I understand the steps of the Scientific Method and what Science is I will use this information when I need to do research. ]]> 2022-10-08 19:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332125421 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332153082 The scientific method has steps that help you answer a question. You can use these steps to help you think critically and that's how the scientific method and scientific inquiry relate to each other. Inquiry-based learning lets you solve problems while better understanding what you are learning. The student will learn with scientific inquiry and think critically with questions. This method will help the student remember what they are being taught instead of just remembering facts and later forgetting what they learned.

I never used scientific inquiry before this class. The article" What is Inquiry-Based Science?" it said inquiry-based science adopts an investigative approach to teaching and learning where students are provided with opportunities to investigate a problem (What is Inquiry-Based Science?, 2022).  I was taught to remember what I was studying and not think critically. I am starting to think critically after taking this class. I did not enjoy science before this class but I find it interesting and enjoy learning. I will continue to grow by thinking critically in all my classes and asking questions instead of just remembering. ]]> 2022-10-08 21:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332156305 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332162551 All living things on Earth share the same characteristics. The first characteristic we share is metabolism. This is where we take energy from the outside to maintain ourselves. The second is homeostasis where living things try to balance conditions inside and outside themselves to survive. The third characteristic is living things can make copies of themselves through reproduction. The fourth is over time the information in molecules changes so that later generations may be slightly different. For something to be alive, it needs to have all these characteristics and be on Earth. ]]> 2022-10-08 21:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332162551 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332488128  In the video, Life Begins: Crash Course Big History it said the major characteristics of most life are: it adapts to the environment, it has a metabolism that processes energy to keep itself going and it reproduces. (https://youtu.be/1WS712DHfmg)  After learning about life I have more of a deeper understanding of what life is and the characteristics that we all share. My thinking has changed when I look at living things. I pay more attention to things in nature. I look at the changes occurring right before my eyes. I will continue to grow by keep observing and questioning things when I see they are different in my environment.  ]]> 2022-10-09 14:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332488128 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332493671 2022-10-09 14:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332493671 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332496393 2022-10-09 14:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332496393 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332501366 2022-10-09 14:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332501366 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332503603 2022-10-09 14:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332503603 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332505364 2022-10-09 14:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332505364 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332884587 Microscopic properties refer to properties of atoms that cannot be seen directly. Macroscopic are things we can observe like mass and volume. Microscopic forces between atoms exist between solid objects and this is how materials can change states of matter causing a macroscopic effect. ]]> 2022-10-10 01:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332884587 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332895890 2022-10-10 01:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2332895890 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333778164 My science perspective has changed in that I will start looking for facts and not depend on my own understanding. ]]> 2022-10-10 15:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333778164 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333791568 2022-10-10 15:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333791568 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333968345 Before taking NS 100 I had some experience in the classroom and was able to help students. I believe my skills have improved since taking NS 100. The Science Assignment Analysis and Scientific Inquiry Observation helped me improve my teaching skills. I was able to observe a teacher and think critically to answer the questions on my assignments. I was able to ask questions that went along with the lesson I was working on. I will continue to grow by learning as much as I can and observing other teachers. I need to remember the skills I am learning and apply them to my apprenticeship. ]]> 2022-10-10 17:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333968345 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333972400 2022-10-10 17:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2333972400 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2334014676 I was taught about microscopic and how you cannot see them with your eyes without a microscope. I do not remember much about macroscopic effects before this class. My thinking has changed by learning how all living things share qualities to survive. The video Threshold 5: Life on Earth gave good insight into how things grow and change. (https://youtu.be/QTVDRbLX2_o) I will continue to grow by observing and thinking about changes in the environment. ]]> 2022-10-10 18:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2334014676 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2334370416 Before NS 100 my scientific perspective was limited. I did not look at things in different ways to see how they could change. My thinking has changed by learning. In module one we learned about the Scientific Method and Scientific Inquiry. This helped me to start thinking critically. In module two we learned how things adapt to the environment to survive. We can see these changes in nature if we stop and look at things from a different perspective. I will continue to grow by using the skills I learned and try to challenge myself to examine things better and ask questions. ]]> 2022-10-11 00:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2334370416 jennywhite2 https://padlet.com/jennywhite2/2lq8bscnfzmednlb/wish/2334377101 My apprenticeship has improved because I have started learning more.
