New Generation Science Standards

New Generation Science Standards
Section Two
The second–grade standard 2–LS4–1 of the New Generation Science Standards" is found under the
discipline of Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity. The standard officially reads, "Make
observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats" (2–LS4
Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity, n.d.). Putting it more simply however, the standards asks
students to look with their eyes and observe, measure, and collect data. Students are meant to look at
plants and animals, of a particular area, and identify their characteristics; then students compare the
findings to animals and plants of another area. For the purposes of this assignment, the geographic
region in question is that of Lake Michigan ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Students need to be able to classify, distinguish, observe, and identify patterns to dispel the
misconception. Students must understand the notion of habitat and acknowledge that the differences
in physical characteristics, as well as other outlying facts, will impact the living organisms living in
each area. In terms of the science and engineering practices that will most relate to student
discovery, the most predominant are as follows. Students will need to ask questions; why are there
some of this type of plant or fish in this area but not in another? What does this plant and/or fish like
about the area they seem to be living in? What are all the different types of plants and fish living in
each area? What are some similarities and differences when comparing the different locations and
the organisms living in them? These are just a few questions students might ask. Students will then
need to be able to plan and carry out investigations to collect data and information to help answer
their questions. When this is done, students should be able to construct and argue for explanations
from their empirical evidence, of why such things are

Examples Of Creed
In the aforementioned examples, it was shown how the adoption of creeds causes hindrance to the
finding of truth in science. Yet, why did Hexley say that science 'commits suicide' when it adopts a
creed? It is believed that science 'commits suicide' and dies when its nature is altered. Creed is a
subjective statement that is treated as a dogma, as the incontrovertible truth. When such creed is
adopted in science, it not only hinders people's receptiveness to new ideas, but also threatens the
nature of science that is objective and subject to change based on scientific inquires. The adoption of
a creed and trusting it blindly would only cause science to lose its true nature and hence, what
Huxley referred to as the death of science.
The application of Newtonian science by Halley has marked the beginning of the age of faith in
science (Cohen 62). While it is true that science is fallible and tentative to change, many, especially
layman have taken science as a creed, considering new discoveries the truth. When there is such a

paramount that researchers in the front line to not take pre–existing knowledge in science as creeds,
it is unjustifiable to say the adoption of a creed causes the death of science especially when

Human Science And Natural Science
Disagreement may aid the pursuit of knowledge in the natural and human sciences because
disagreement leads to new discoveries. Disagreement is about gathering reliable knowledge as well
as using this newfound knowledge, and occurs when a group fails to reach a consensus over the
logic of an argument. Knowledge is composed of facts, information, and skills acquired by a person
through experience or education. Two areas of knowledge that are impacted by disagreement are
human science and natural science. Human science is the study of human behavior and how humans
gather information. Natural science is a branch of science that deals with the physical world. In
order for a disagreement to occur, one must be familiar with the subject and have his or her own
prediction that is different from the norm. Therefore, to advance knowledge in the areas of human
and natural science, people must disagree. The roles of logic, reason, and emotion will be
investigated to see how they are used to help gain new knowledge in both human and natural
science. Many knowledge claims in human and natural science are based on theories. Jean Lamarck
proposed the theory of evolution in 1801. The theory of evolution proposed by Lamarck was based
on the idea that organisms had to change their behavior to survive. For instance, if a giraffe stretched
it neck for a long period of time to reach the leaves as the top of the tree, then a "nervous fluid"
would flow in the neck and make it longer. Thus, its

Chapter 1 Homework Answers
1) Why is mathematics important to science, and especially to physics?
Mathematics is important to science, and especially to physics, because mathematics are a very
precise form of communication. When models are based on scientific findings in nature are
expressed mathematically, they are easier to verify or disprove by experiment. When the ideas and
models of science are expressed in mathematical terms, they are unambiguous. The equations of
science provide compact and exact expressions between relationships and concept. The methods of
mathematics and experimentation have led to enormous successes in science.
2) What are the steps of the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
–SQUIRREL! Trial and error, experimentation without prior guessing, and accidental discovery
account for much of the progress in science. The success of science has more to do with an attitude
of inquiry, experimentation, and humility than with a particular method.
4) What is a model, as the term is used in science?
A model is, as the term is used in science, is the description of a natural phenomenon, usually a
mathematical equation. Models attempt to describe what nature does, and therefore nature does not
follow our models. The more complex a model is, the more accurately it described a phenomenon,
but no model is ever really complete. Because a model is just a description of how nature works,
models can be revised when new data is obtained or somebody comes up with a better idea. This is
how science progresses. Sometimes even very successful models just fail and have to be replaces
with new ones that can better explain nature.

A fact, as defined in the book can be shown to be false. In science, a fact is a close agreement by

Teaching Science : A Important Part Of The New Zealand...
I believe that Science is a very important part of the New Zealand Curriculum, because it provides
children with valuable knowledge that they can use in their lives, while also helping to develop
critical thinking. Teaching Science in primary schools can be broken down into two different parts,
the Nature of Science strands and also contextual strands. The Nature of Science is the core strand
of science in the New Zealand Curriculum. The strands include investigating, communicating,
understanding, and participating and contributing. The contextual strands are the topics that can be
taught, which are the living world, planet Earth and beyond, physical world, and material world. In
this essay, I will discuss my current understanding of teaching Science in New Zealand primary
schools, both through my own experience and knowledge gathered from selected articles, I will also
discuss my understanding of the Nature of Science strands, and finally talk about the Nature of
Science strands referring to the Building Science Concepts book, Where's the water?.
Through my science experiences at school I have realised the importance of teachers needing to be
enthusiastic about what they are teaching, just like in many other subjects. There was one experience
from my early secondary years where the teacher would have the entire class write notes from a

can recall are the ones that were

In people with depression medication is often used to start the treatment but patients who adopted a
workout plan, were able to decrease their medication or stop taking it altogether. In people with
Attention Deficit disorder exercise helped tremendously. There focus improved and symptoms
subsided. Attention Deficit is caused from a malfunction of the brain's attention system. A diffuse
linkage of neurons that hitches together areas controlling arousal, and motivation and movement is
the result. Exercise helps in rewiring parts of the brain that control focus and motivation. Overall
this book was a very good read. The information about the brain was laid out well, and the
information was explained very clearly for most of the book. My favorite part of the book was the
chapter on stress. This chapter was the most informative in my opinion. In this chapter the author
references to a study that was conducted by the department of energy. This study was conducted in
the 1980's and it was designed to study the health impacts of sustained radiation exposure. Two
groups of nuclear shipyard workers from Baltimore were studied. They both had similar jobs except
one group was exposed to very low levels of radiation from the materials they handled, and the other
was not. The DOE studied them for eight years. The findings were interesting. The twenty–eight
thousand workers that were exposed to radiation had a 25% lower mortality rate. They found that

Gardner discusses René Descartes and his contributions to the fields of philosophy and
neuroscience. As a neuroscience major, I found Gardner's propositions about Descartes and his

Descartes decided that the mind is the "ultimate arbiter of truth." Causing much controversy, he
proposed that the mind is a "rational instrument" that cannot be recreated in any sort of machine or
robot. This proposition is still much debated in philosophy today and puzzles both philosophers and
the layman in the form of the mind body dilemma. Neuroscience continues to explore this idea in
2015. As a neuroscience major, I am personally puzzled by the disjunction between the body and
mind. I am especially intrigued by the proposal by Descartes that our minds are rational beings; I
then question how our feelings come into play. While neuroscience is able to explain which parts of
the brain are responsible for certain emotions, I am still left questioning how these emotions are
triggered in the physical world in which we live. Further, how do these intangible emotions connect
to our physical bodies? I consider myself a very emotional person, so the topic of feelings and
emotions and how they relate to the physicality of our brains and bodies is extremely fascinating to

The Discovery Of A New Science
The Discovery of a New Science
A Brief History
Physiology has piqued human curiosity for thousands of years. In the early centuries, examination
and dissection of the human body was a taboo practice and consequently became mired due to
ethical or religious concerns. Scientist had no choice but to undertake inconceivable acts, such as
grave robbery in the name of learning and educating. They carried out dissections in secrecy. Human
physical and mental health practices have greatly benefitted because of the discoveries made by
these scientists' acts, once considered immoral.
The history of physiological psychology spans throughout centuries. Its origins are traceable back to
times before Christ. Several instances set the framework, which facilitated the development and
growth of physiology as one of the numerous subdivisions of psychology. There are three important
periods and several people that established this field. Contributors include Avicenna (980–
1037B.C.), Rene Descartes during the renaissance and several key contributors during the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The breakthroughs in these periods developed a new science
and led the way to the creation of other related subdivisions of psychology. Physiological
psychology is one among several subdivisions of biological psychology. This branch of psychology
is concerned with the response of normal and pathological processes of the central nervous system
(CNS). Physiological psychology mainly

Monica Chan
A New Kind of Science
Professor Neil Leach
October 29, 2016 Chapters 11 and 12 (pages 637 to 844)
In this book, Stephen Wolfram develops A New Kind of Science that allows progress to be made in
cases where traditional science cannot analyze complex behaviors. In his proposal for this new kind
of science one of the things he addresses is the notion of computation, where computation is the
evolution of a system. In this book, Wolfram has mentioned and referred to systems such as cellular
automata as a "simple computer program", but his overall goal is to show these systems in terms of
the computations that can perform complex shapes with a simple set of rules. In other words, these
systems can be viewed as performing a computation that determines what its future behavior will be.
The interesting thing is that cellular automata has terms of traditional mathematical notions to
describe certain computations. Stephen reintroduces these mathematical notions by replacing them
with squares (cells) that are either black or white, and when grouped, these cells create a block.
Once multiple blocks are created, they are described as rules that enhances a command. For
example, the rule 94 highlights even numbers. Rule 62 corresponds to multiples of 3, rule 190 to
multiples of 4 and rule 129 highlights powers of 2.
Now, there are computations that are more complex that do not correspond to any simple description
found in traditional

Science, Technology And The Nightly News Essay
Science, Technology and the Nightly News
Introduction
It's not uncommon for a news audience to run across stories or headlines about science that seem too
good to be true. Headlines such as, "Scientist Say Smelling Farts Might Prevent Cancer," (Stampler,
2014) or "Bananas as good as drugs for treating HIV, say scientists." (Arkless Gray, 2010) Not only
are these headlines flashy enough to get the attention of a wide audience, but they go beyond
distributing the facts to wade into the waters of Yellow Journalism. In fact, much of the news
distributed today might be considered such milky fare even by passive audience members. A 2013
Pew Research Center study found that 31 percent of U.S. adults have left a news outlet that no
longer meets their needs. The reason for the exodus? More than 60 percent say the stories are less
complete while another 23.5 percent claim there are fewer stories provided by these news outlets.
One might wonder how such claims could be made in these times of 24–hour news cycles and
breaking news distributed across the web through social media at warp speed. A closer look at the
same Pew study reveals a startling fact about factual news content on cable news channels. Of the
big three cable news channels (CNN, Fox News and MSNBC) only one provides more than 50
percent of factual news content. The others go beyond the half–way mark in providing commentary
or opinion. MSNBC was found to provide a whopping 85 percent of commentary/option content

With Science and technology study, positivism was challenged and it has benefited from it. One
paradigms, Actor Network Theory, has helped spread the positivism. Actor Network Theory was
developed Michel Callon, Bruno Latour, and John Law. (pg. 81) It was created to understand social
aspects of science and technology. Actor Network Theory deals with human and non–human
entities. Both entities form an association, combining with other actors to form a strong network.
These actors form a connection to push their agenda. This could be making a new scientific
discovery, or it could be stopping a company's product production. These actors work together for
their cause. It would not be a network if every member entertains their own plan.
In positivism, there are actors that push for this movement. The actors are the philosophers and

Biomimicry
What is biomimicry?
From bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate Biomimicry is a new science where
entrepreneurs imitate nature's time–tested processes, systems and designs to solve human's
sustainability problems.
Sustainability Problem
The sustainability problem referred to in this research project is the high energy consumption of air–
conditioners in industrial facilities but also in households and its global and personal health
problems (National Geographic online).
There is too much money and electricity spent on air–conditioning all around the world, and
percentages are rising. Air–conditioners have a negative impact on the environment as they can
release refrigerants into the atmosphere, which deplete the ozone layer.
Health hazards can also occur if air–conditioners are not maintained properly, as dirty filters allow
allergens and pesticides to enter house and buildings.
Nature's solution
Termites build some of the most impressive structures in the animal world, consisting of materials
such as soil, dung and termite saliva and can be 8m high. The extremely porous walls allow
ventilation and cooling systems, due to outside air being able to permeate the entire structure.
Hypothesis: Modeling houses, offices, malls and other large buildings according to the principles of
termite mounds would serve as a sustainable solution, as it would save money and decrease the
amount of energy consumption.

According to Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning, the critical value of analytics
is important in today's forward–looking enterprises, especially in a new data age. Every company

how companies think about their data and their exploitation of that data. Also, it highlights how
companies such as the Boston Red Sox, Netflix, Amazon.com, CEMEX, Capital One, and Harrah's
Entertainment use analytics to build their competitive strategies and make better decisions in the
severe competition. These companies and organizations use analytics to identify the most profitable
customers, accelerate product innovation, optimize supply chains and pricing, and leverage the true
drivers of financial performance.
Four pillars of analytics competition
According to Thomas H. Davenport and Jeanne G. Harris, there are four pillars of analytical
competitions: 1) a strategic, distinctive capability; 2) an enterprise–level approach to and
management of analytics; 3) senior management commitment; 4) Large–scale ambition (24).
In support of a distinctive capability, the companies set themselves apart from their competitors, and
make themselves successful in the market with their significance (Davenport, and Harris, 24). For
example, Netflix views predicting customers' movie preferences as its primary focus for analytics
activity.

Reproducibility in science is as important as any new hypothesis or discovery. Currently, many

Natural systems may have obvious structural and organizational principles. On the other hand,

The texts The Revolutions of the Celestial Orbs by Nicolaus Copernicus and Two New Sciences by
Galileo demonstrates a powerful illustration of heliocentric hypothesis. In each book, astronomer
Nicolas Copernicus and Scientist Galileo Galilei describes their theory and assumption about the
motion and shapes of the planets and objects based on their understandings and advocating earlier
scientist's thoughts. Nicolas Copernicus describes "Sun" as the center of the universe, which is
spherical in shape and other planets(wanderers), which are also spherical revolve around the sun in a
Uniform, Eternal, and Circular motion. Likewise, Galileo defines the motion of massive bodies
(planets) are steady and uniform, and distance traveled by these bodies are equivalent at equal
intervals of time. However, in "Idols of the Mind," Francis Bacon demonstrated that there were
flaws in the assumptions made by the scientists because they conducted the practical experiments
and theories based on their own understanding. According to his scientific investigations, past
scientific thinkers used tests and experiments based on their thoughts, which he thinks corrupts the
"nature of things" as they try to compound their nature with it. Copernicus and Galileo commit
errors by demonstrating theories and performing experiments based on the human understandings of
themselves and other scientists, like Aristotle. However, because this leads to the corruption of a
more natural way of thinking, Francis

therefore, benefitting the organization to build a culture of job fulfillment. This book asks managers
to take a self–assessment, relating to anonymity, irrelevance and immeasurement. The Three Signs
of a Miserable Job (2007) boasts the first step to reducing job misery lies in understanding the root
causes of a miserable job (p. 220). Comparing the two books shows the benefits to leaders and their

mistakes include: fuzzy, uncompelling goals, infrequent or no measures, and bad measures. These
mistakes according to the Influencer (2013) can undermine the influence of the change agents;
therefore, allowing no vital behavior change to happen (p. 16). Due to this factor, The Three Sign of

Brave New World: The Advancement of Science
Brave New World: The Advancement of Science
Christy Campbell Mrs. Doig Eng OAC 2 16 May, 1996
When thinking of progress, most people think of advances in the scientific fields, believing that
most discoveries and technologies are beneficial to society. Are these advances as beneficial as most
people think?
In the novel Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley, warns readers that scientific advances can
be a threat to society. This is particularly evident in the fields of biology, technology and
psychology. According to Huxley, "The theme of Brave New World is not the advancement of
science as such; it is the advancement of science as it affects human individuals"(Huxley CLC 79
290). One scientific advance of which Huxley warns ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Games consist of advanced technological apparatus, and low organization, creating very superficial
entertainment. According to Huxley, this frustrates one of humanity's vital needs to be creative.
"Men no longer amuse themselves creatively but sit passively amused by mechanical devices"
(Hillegas 115). Among technological advances, one danger Huxley warns of is the advance in
pharmacology. In Brave New World, an artificial form of happiness is present in a drug called soma.
Soma propels the user into a hallucinatory dream world, providing relief from negativity, allowing
constant happiness People are rewarded for work by receiving rations of soma. The soma ration
varies according to the social classes, with the lowest classes receiving the least, and the highest
classes receiving the greatest. Society is conditioned to believe that "One cubic centimetre cures ten
gloomy sentiments"(Huxley Brave New
World 53). This reasoning deceives the user into believing that soma is a cure– all remedy. Since
soma has no side effects, it can be a threat to society because people may be drugged into a
hallucinatory dream world twenty–four hours a day. It could be used as a drug not to escape the
pressures of life, but to escape life itself. Similar to biology, technology can be a danger to society if
used without regard for the welfare of mankind. Finally, the most dangerous of all scientific
advancements Huxley warns

When deciding on a place for my science trip, I knew the perfect place would be the Liberty Science

was a great deal to learn there. What I didn?t realize was how much it had been updated since I was
there last. There are so many advances going on in science and technology, it?s all so amazing. What
surprised me most, is that even at age 19, I still had as much fun there as I did when I was 9. When I

At first one, Point of View, I learned some beliefs and customs of different cultures. For example,
although we believe that the earth revolves around the sun, some cultures believe that the sun
revolves around the earth. They have actual facts to back up these beliefs, and it is easy to see that
both points are valid. The next exhibit was called ?Health?. Here I played a genetics game that told
me that some of my own physical characteristics are very common among people and how some of
them are unique only to me. Next I visited ?One Race.? Here I learned how little of a person?s
genetic makeup actually decides skin color. I found it interesting how just a little something on the
inside makes such a great change on the outside. The last exhibit of the gallery was called ?
Prejudices.? Here I saw a model of a slave ship and I was able to stand inside a box the same size as
that of which slaves traveled in on boats. It was a very unusual experience for me.
The next floor I visited was the Health Floor. All of the exhibits were about the study of the human
body. The first one I visited here was the ?Touch Tunnel.? This was a one hundred foot long,
completely dark tunnel that I had to crawl through to see how well my sense of touch could guide
me. Luckily, I made it out in one piece. Next I visited the ?Issues Arcade.? Here I was able to take

Leadership And The New Science
Leadership vs Management Leadership and management are often referred to as the same thing.
However, researchers are starting to change the way leadership is seen. The very root of the word
leadership implies helping lead one on a journey, while management's root suggests submission.
With these pieces of information as lenses, it becomes easier to see the difference. In Margaret J.
Wheatley's book, Leadership and the New Science, she makes a simple statement: "Management's
task is to enforce control, to keep information contained, to pass it down in such a way that no
newness occurs" (Wheatley, 2006, p. 97). This, along with much more of her and others' wisdom,
emphasizes the difference between leadership and management. Additionally, ... Show more content

Management is positional. It is said that you can't choose your boss but you choose your leader.
Contrary to public belief, leaders aren't always those in power. In tandem, those in power aren't
always utilizing leadership. While researchers have usually focused on those in power, the studies
have failed to find the exact traits and behaviors needed for successful leaders. Therefore, leadership
cannot be taught. However, leadership can be learned. Leadership boils down to people. A leader has
followers. The leader motivates and empathizes based on what they know is important to an
individual. Changing people to the better to change things for the better is the essence of leadership:
walking the journey with the follower, instead of just giving directions (management).
While leadership seems to be the ideal, John Kotter says, "If you have to choose between leadership
or management, choose management every time. Managers do." While this is true, it is most
applicable to measurable outcomes. When organizations are viewed as machines, management
succeeds. The Newtonian view of organizations indeed calls for management, as people are seen as
things. This works perfectly in theoretical practice. However, when introduced to reality, it begins to
fall apart. Even though people can be treated like things, it won't allow for creativity and growth.
Managers attempt motivation through competitions and pressure, which can lead to employees using
their creativity to refuse to

The New Science Of Winning Book
In the New Science of Winning book, (Davenport & Harris, 2007, p.7) analytics is defined as "the
extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive models, and
fact–based management to drive decisions and actions." [1]. To be successful in today's competition,
my current employer, DLL Financial Solutions Partner (DLL), is competing on analytics and fully
aligned its core strategies to be supported by extensive statistical and computer based decisions.
DLL is a global financial services company with operation in 36 countries, and its main focus is in
the commercial equipment finance sector. In the following paragraph, I will explain DLL's position
in the industry and its ability to successfully compete on analytics with regards to its core business
functions.
In the organizational layer, DLL has a global business intelligence and global analytics team. The
business intelligence team's focus is data warehousing, dashboard designing and providing real–time
data companywide for all the countries, which can be queried via SQL or Hyperion. Given that data
often needs clean up and analysis to better understand its trends, the business intelligence team has
created a Virtual Reporting Tool which is accessible by all members of the company and is meant to
be the only source of the truth. This tool provides live reports and dashboards which are used for
monitoring purposes and for analysis. On the other hand, the global analytics team's focus is

A New Science Of Genetic Engineering Essay
After years of work, Dr. Smith, has successfully edited the human genome. Shortly after, he began
to marvel at the possibilities he unlocked, but also begged the question of the possible consequences
he created from this achievement which would affect the impending future. He worried as to how
the public would react to his life work. The growing potential of gene editing is sweeping the US,
filled with both overwhelming hope as well as fear. This is a bridge which must be crossed to
achieve trust within the biomedical community. To ensure the people this can bring great change
without the unethical byproducts which could come with gene editing. Much of the American public
is divided with the relatively new science of genetic engineering due to concerning ethical issues,
but would benefit in many ways from its implementation into society.
Genetic engineering started with an idea picked up by the US government in the mid–80s, it is now
the planet's largest collective biological project. So what does gene editing consist of exactly? Heidi

In the Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change (2013), the authors tell us that in order to

influence change while giving background on the two social aspects of changing vital behaviors.
SOCIAL ABILITY BACKGROUND Social Ability is a way to communicate on a social basis while
being effective in cooperatively getting your message across to initiate change in the six–source

encouragement while benefiting the change. The Influencer (2013) suggests, "Our social

Eugenics, A New Science Of Heredity
Eugenics, a new science of heredity was first introduced in 1883, brought about to address the
budding fears and threats to the purity and fitness of the British race. A fear brought upon by events
such as the Boer War in 1899, forced Britain to question the spectrum of degeneracy within the
population and resolve the issue of bringing the British and White race back to strength, unified and
fit. Sir Francis Galton defined eugenics as "the study of agencies under social control that may
improve or impair the racial qualities of future generations either physically or mentally". It was
believed that differences in mental, moral and physical traits between individuals, as well as races
were hereditary, producing those who were deemed ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
University Students. At this time, America provided a clear example of how race greatly impacted
on the eugenics movement. The United States came across a lot more racialist than Britain; the key
racial targets being the American Negro and various portions of white races emigrating from Eastern
Europe. In a much more patriotic and chauvinistic country this threatened to overwhelm the superior
white race, forcing the development of new immigration and sterilisation laws.
Britain was just as supportive in believing in the dominant White race, however was never as
extreme in it racialism. "British Society was ethnically more–or–less homogenous" and therefore it
had not experienced the considerable amount of non–white emigrating people than it did in later
decades. . The movement in Britain was marked by variations on existing racial themes, instead of
new compositions. Racism figured a lot less distinctly and was of less importance to British
Eugenics, identifying the new science as primarily class based, focusing more on the biological
fitness of the different classes. Consequently, one could argue that race wasn't awfully important to
the movement, but race figured much more markedly to the eugenics movement in other countries

behavior that siblings have towards each other. Siblings have very distinct relationship. One minute,
they would be fighting and the next they could be ready to kill each other. However, this relationship

understandings of ourselves as an individual and as a society at large. This is same impression that

These patients rather cannot be diagnosed as schizophrenic, but possess "schizophrenic–like
symptomatology" (Kendler, 1985). Hence, the patient may be portrayed as having a mild–
Schizophrenia. In general, the prevalence of PSD is in about 3% of a general population
(Hernandez, 2010) and is more prevalent in males than females (Harvard Health Publication, 2013).
One major aspect among patients is that they have some type of trouble maintaining relationships
with others.
Historically, the DSM–III criteria for PSD was established around the 1970's by Spitzer, Endicott,
and Gibbon after investigation of the schizophrenic spectrum (Kendler, 1985). During this period,
because STPD was closely related to Schizophrenia it was also considered as Borderline
Schizophrenia. However, treatments for this conditions depends on what perspective used. For
instance, within STPD's early establishment, diagnosis focused as between the familial vs. clinical
approaches. Familial focused on symptoms that were present in nonpsychotic relatives of the
schizophrenics while clinical centered on how closed related the symptoms were to schizophrenia
without the psychotic symptoms (Kendler, 1985). Another point of view is to see where the
symptoms fall into a three–factor model. Among the factors, the cognitive–perceptual factor was
correlated to symptoms of abstract thinking, the interpersonal factor was associated with poor social
relations, and disorganized factor was linked to

The New Science of Pseudoscience
Nineteenth–century America was a tumultuous place, marred by war and suffering the growing
pains of both westward expansion and industrialization. The intellectual world was equally
turbulent, as a great battle of ideas challenged the foundation and morality of the institution of
slavery. Pro–slavery advocates had to find new ways of justifying their beliefs in order to provide a
different perspective from which to view slavery, other than an economic standpoint. Southern
society began to idealize science as an indisputable vehicle of objective truth. The rapid
advancement of scientific knowledge lent scientists a "halo," as they could claim neutrality and
objectiveness. A scientist's word was law and deemed worthy of imitation. Because of the belief that
scientists were unbiased and impartial when conducting research, scientists in the South attempted
to legitimize pro–slavery arguments by providing pseudoscientific evidence proving the superiority
of whites and the inability of blacks to be self–sufficient as freedmen. Dr. Samuel George Morton, a
famous physician and researcher in natural history, provided the South with flawed anthropological
evidence in order to bolster the anti–abolitionist case. His universal acclaim for devotion to
objective data allowed for his research to become popular and widespread throughout the United
States, especially the South. Dr. Morton's study was based on his measurements of human crania.
His collection of skulls was the largest in

New Science Vocabulary Analysis
"Effective vocabulary instruction is multidimensional and intentional" (Sweeny & Mason, 2011). It
is important for teachers to find helpful strategies when teaching new science vocabulary to their
students. Technology today has opened a whole new world of strategies for teaching science
vocabulary such as, word games, scavenger hunts, graphic organizers, etc. instead of the old way of
just having students write the words in a notebook and find the definitions in a dictionary or
glossary. In order to keep students engaged in learning teachers need to make sure that their
instruction is interactive and fun. To help with learning academic vocabulary teachers need to
incorporate the following; helpful strategies and activities, provide students with instruction and
development, and ways to differentiate in order to meet the needs of ELLs and students with

Teachers need to organize the vocabulary words into three categories, such as, "Tier I words include
words that are almost universally known (tree, leaf); Tier II words include almost all of the words
we need to teach students; and Tier III words are infrequent and technical (photosynthesis) that are
best learned at their point of need" (Flood & Lapp, 2016). Providing students with learning
disabilities assistance (one–on–one) and modifying their assignments will help them to feel more
comfortable in the learning of the vocabulary content. A teacher's aid can be useful in a classroom
when it has students with disabilities. Using scaffolding and graphic organizers are other ways to
help students with the concepts of learning science vocabulary words. For example, Venn Diagrams,

Kuhn's Efficacy In Scientific Research
In his paper, Kuhn discusses how measurement has functioned in physical science, normal and crisis
state, and what the source of its special efficacy has been. Here a measurement always produces an
actual number.
Our image of physical science is determined by science texts. The representation of scientific
measurement in these books is often misleading. Results of measurements are often displayed in
tables. These measurements seem to have the function to confirm the theory.
However, providing evidence is not their objective. The authority of the scientists is enough to
convince people of the theory.
Another function of measurement is that of exploration. We believe that we can derive laws and
theories from results of measurements. Results of measurements owe their special efficacy to this
believe. However, this believe is based on a myth. Tables are included in scientific texts to establish
what the author means by reasonable agreement between theory and measurement.
Although science texts sketch a different image, just a small fraction of measurements, in normal
and abnormal science, are motivated by a desire to confirm an ... Show more content on

The results of these measurements are presented in textbooks as facts to which the scientist must
make his theory fit. However, in scientific practice the roles are reversed: theory leads measurement.
Without a theory, no conclusions can be drawn from the results of measurements. Furthermore,
theory plays a role in reducing scatter in the results of measurements or in testing the reliability of
existing instruments or manipulative techniques. Finally, theory and experiment can also guide each
other in areas new to both. Although measurements are led by theory, measurements are necessary
because they can create consensus among scientists. Even if there is a substantial amount of theory,
science cannot survive on guesses based on

beating addiction. I was extremely surprised to learn that just five minutes of intense exercise can be

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone, especially someone who is battling a mental
illness such as depression or anxiety. I believe this book proved to me that exercise can basically
cure these two illnesses and is so much better of an alternative to prescription medication that can be
dangerous and addictive.
The only thing that the author could do to improve the book is to cover larger studies. The studies in
the book, while valid and meant to represent a larger population, are mostly small and some were
done with animals. This could have readers wondering how Ratey can make such big assumptions
from the data provided. However, all the studies he covered showed, at the very least, that it was
plausible that exercise is essential for peak brain

Proteus mirabilis is a Gram–negative, dimorphic bacillus and a facultative anaerobe bacterium. It is
a motile member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. This bacteria colonies shows a unique
characteristic called swarming behavior. Swarming occurs when the flagellate rods grow into long
chain swarmer cells, the swarmers gather together forming "rafts" that swim together, growing into a

Diseases:
Statistically, about 90% of the proteus infections are caused by proteus mirabilis. It is an opportunist
pathogen, which means it can cause diseases if it colonizes another place other than the
gastrointestinal tract.
P. mirabilis is commonly associated with urinary tract infections. The infection begins when the
organism moves from urethra to the urinary bladder. Urinary tract infections caused by P. mirabilis
are mostly found in patients under long–term catherization. Other groups of patients that are at high
risks of the diseases include; those patients with structural abnormalities of the urinary tract, patients
with recurrent infections and patients whose infections were acquired in the hospital or long–term
care facilities.
Proteus mirabilis infections accounts for 1%–2% of urinary tract infections in healthy women, 5%
of nosocomial urinary infections and catheterization has a high prevalence of 20%–45%. The
organism causes bladder infection and kidney infection. P. mirabilis produces large amounts of
urease which splits urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. This process increases the alkalinity of
the urine and also it precipitates magnesium and calcium in the form of struvite and apatite crystals
respectively. The results is the formation of renal stones.

Dianna Reyes

325 Developmental Psychology Book Review In the book, Age of Opportunity: Lessons from the
New Science of Adolescence, the author, Lawrence Steinberg, starts out the first chapter by
explaining how we once thought that the brain was mostly done maturing by adolescence, but with
new research we are learning that the brain continues to develop into one's twenties. He goes on to
say that children are hitting puberty earlier in life and placing them "at significantly greater risk for a
host of physical, mental, and behavioral problems, including depression, delinquency, and even
cancer" (9). The reason why children are going through puberty is based on a mix on environmental
and genetic influences. The more nourished and fed you are the higher chance of you going through
puberty earlier. Although this was the case in 1850–1950, the continuing decline of age in puberty
today, is due to more troubling reasons. The five mains reasons for today is: 1. Obesity 2. Artificial
light 3. Endocrine disruptors 4. Premature birth 5. Family stress. Steinberg explains how adolescent
is a time of neuroplasticity and the longer period of adolescence can have good consequences or
severely negative consequences, depending on if they're in a stimulating environment or a toxic
environment.
The United States faces situations such as "spend[ing] more money per student on secondary and
postsecondary education than almost any other country in the world" and yet not having any

attention to unless it [can] be stated in precisely quantitative terms". His ideas unearthed many

This is all to boost a new excitement for the field of science and reengage new minds. He wants to
bring the fun back that has been missing for so many years.
Questioning the present and the past is the way of learning for the future through searching the
known and unknown and rethinking the way science is taught. I agree with Thomas' underlying
statement that the fun has been taken out of science. There are volumes of students slugging through
college and med school for a title and not for their love of science. An even more sad realization are
that kids are not even pursuing a scientific career because of the idea that everything has already
been figured out and there is nothing left to discover. This is the current day problem, kids are
turned off by the field of science. The only way to revive it is to ask questions. If people don't start
asking questions about what has been discovered, then there is nowhere to go. There is the
possibility that things scientists have figured out are wrong, but no one will know if it isn't
questioned or looked deeper
