Reflection

After reviewing my last blog on what science is to me and before reading the "What is Science?" article my view on science is just about the same. Reading the article refreshed my memory and informed me of information that I never thought of. For instance, science is ongoing. I never really thought of it that way and it is very true, science will never be finished.

I enjoyed the QFT activity that we did in class on Tuesday. I thought it was different because I had never done anything like that before. I thought it was very useful and effective. I enjoyed working with my group, it was very helpful. Working in groups allowed me to see different perspectives of science and peoples opinions other than my own. I thought that presenting was a good idea because I got to see the other groups thoughts and their questions as well. Fun activity!

Writing Assignment 1

Science to me is the physical and natural phenomenon of the world. There are different studies of science, such as: natural, physical, environmental, and life science. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to science. I took three years of science in high school and one semester in college. From what I can remember, I have had one bad experience having to deal with science. I was in high school and we had to dissect a frog. Nothing specific happened that made it a bad experience for me but, I am an animal lover and I did not like the idea of tearing apart the internal organs of innocent animals. Not to mention, several frogs died from this, not just one. However, I have had good experience dealing with science. To mention one of them, last semester in my science class we went to the Zoo. It was an interesting and very fun experience for me because I am not from here so I had never been. I learned a lot about animals and saw animals that I had never seen before. It was interesting learning about the animals and observing them! A scientific approach came to use when trying make an educated guess by observation. For an example, trying to guess what was inside a box by listening and shaking the box. Using those tools helped me to make a logical guess of what could be inside the box. A scientific approach to life can be used in our everyday life without even realizing it is scientific.

My name is Reanna Aguilar and I am taking my class because I think it is very significant to being an elementary school teacher. I hope to refresh my mind on science material. I also hope to gain a lot of new knowledge out of it as well. I am hoping for a fun semester!
