Talking to My Dog About Science: Why Public Communication of Science Matters ...
This document discusses the importance of public communication of science and how blogs can help with this effort. It notes that science literacy among the public is low. While most people support funding of science, it is not a high priority. The document argues that scientists have failed at communicating with the public. It outlines a history of scientific publication and promotion, favoring a more accessible "Galilean" style over technical "Newtonian" publications. The document advocates using blogs to help humanize scientists and promote understanding of science in an accessible way. It provides examples of successful science blogs and how they have helped spread scientific knowledge.
Shakespeare
- In Shakespeare's time, most people believed the Earth was the center of the universe and that celestial objects revolved around it based on the ideas of Ptolemy. The universe was thought to consist of four basic elements - earth, air, fire, water.
- England was embroiled in the Protestant Reformation, with conflict between Catholics and Protestants over religious hierarchy, salvation, and scripture interpretation.
- The Great Chain of Being hierarchy attempted to order all of creation, with humans having various levels and obligations to those above and below them on the scale. Imbalances could lead to chaos in plays like Romeo and Juliet or King Lear.

The English Renaissance Self-Fashioning
The document discusses how self-fashioning became an important issue in English society and literature during the Renaissance period. It provides examples from travel narratives, educational texts, and plays that demonstrate how Renaissance authors and characters engaged in constructing their identity in relation and contrast to perceived "others". The travel narratives described native peoples in the New World as primitive and in need of civilization, justifying English colonization. Educational texts promoted Greek and Latin models but warned against adopting identities from other European cultures like Italy. Plays featured characters, like Doctor Faustus, who struggled with inner conflicts while attempting to define themselves against external forces and discover unknown knowledge. Overall, the document argues Renaissance English society and authors fashioned their identity through encounters with perceived alien
Academic Writingand Jargon
Academic writing differs from everyday language in its use of jargon and complexity. Jargon refers to terminology specific to academic disciplines, while complexity involves using abstract ideas and terminology appropriately within the context of a field's history and concepts. Difficult writing can arise from a lack of clarity due to word choice, transitions between ideas, or organization, distancing the audience. In contrast, complex writing may seem challenging at first but can be made accessible by defining terms and relating unfamiliar concepts to familiar ones.

Lesson 1.2 Activity: Intro to Origin Stories
This activity has two purposes: First, you’ll start to become familiar with a very deliberate reading process that you’ll use throughout the Big History course. This will not only help you understand the readings for this course, but the skills you learn will also transfer to other classes. Second, you will become familiar with the idea of an origin story. Cultures around the world have their own origin stories, ways in which they believe and describe how the Universe came to be. It’s important that you understand that all origin stories should be respected, as they often relate to people’s cultures and beliefs. Big History is another one of these origin stories. Specifically, it is what many consider a modern, scientific origin story.

Your response to the article:
Student 1 response: After reading this article its safe to say that our solar system is a unqiue system that works together in sync, and if any planet in the solar system is off set it cause great impact on the entire solar system. Personally after reading this im almost confused in a way. Like I have far more questions that havent been answered. Our history of science is so complicated too that one scientist can predict something and it actually happen or the other way around where a scientists method gets dissaproven after many years they find that its not the case and find whats truly happening. Overall I really enjoyed this article ...

-style entry of your own. Your entry can be about anything you want, as long as it's not about yourself. Combine your own expertise with information gathered from at least two sources, and then compose two to three well-organized paragraphs about a topic that fascinates you.
Just don't use
Wikipedia
to do your research. Try to add something brand-new to the world's largest encyclopedia.
Make sure to address the following questions in your
Wikipedia
entry:
How, when, and where did this topic originate?
What are some major characteristics of this topic?
How did this topic develop over time and who or what contributed the most to its development?
What detail do many people not know about this topic?
The key to writing a successful
Wikipedia
entry is researching information that interests you. Your goal is to collect and share your knowledge with a larger audience. To do this, you'll want to select the most interesting details and present them in a clear and organized way that engages your readers.
Hint: If you choose to write a biographical
Wikipedia
entry — whether it is about someone you know personally (such as a teacher or a family member) or a famous person (Cleopatra, Wyatt Earp, or Lady Gaga) — select the most important information you'll want to bring up. For example, you'll want to include where and when this person grew up, as well as highlights from his or her life and career. Don't forget to mention at least one detail that most people don't know about your subject.
Step 1: Understanding the Assignment
You can choose most any topic you want as long as it interests you and isn't autobiographical. Your topic, for example, could be a music group you like, a scientific theory, an invention, an inspiring public figure, or your dream vacation spot. If you're having a hard time choosing your topic, the following brainstorming activity will help you:
On a piece of paper, quickly jot down the answers to the following questions:
If you could be anyone from any time in history, who would you be?
What are your three favorite recreational activities?
What is your favorite subject in school?
If you could visit one city in the world, what would it be and what would you do there?
What's the title of your favorite book, film, television program, or work of art?
Now review the answers to these questions. Select the answer that seems the most interesting to you and write it at the top of a fresh piece of paper. Pretend that this is the topic of your
Wikipedia
entry. (Hint: If a topic seems too broad, like "watching television" or "English literature," make it more specific; for example, "reality television" or "Jane Austen.")
Using a clock or a timer, spend five minutes brainstorming a list of everything you already know about the topic. Don't worry about grammar or the order of the informat.

4 1 5 Indicator Group
- 1. Science: it’s Instrumental! Science Indicator Project By Rosanna Sartore For Education 373
- 2. Standard 4.1.5 Demonstrate how measuring instruments, such as microscopes, telescopes, and cameras, can be used to gather accurate information for making scientific comparisons of objects and events. Note that measuring instruments, such as rulers, can also be used for designing and constructing things that will work properly.
- 3. Background Information History of the Microscope The first microscopes were really just magnifying glasses with a single lens The first compound microscope (microscope with more than one lens) was made around 1590 by two spectacle makers experimenting with lenses Today, microscope inventors would be surprised by the quality yet affordable microscopes that are available in schools. An early microscope used in medicine
- 4. Background Information History of the Telescope In 1608, an inventor discovered that holding 2 lenses apart would produce greater magnification, but his patent was denied. Soon after, Galileo played with this idea and began studying the heavens and space. In 1668, Newton created the first mirrored telescope, which was able to magnify to a much greater extent than lens-based telescopes. Telescope from the 1600s
- 5. Background Information History of the Camera In 1837, the first fixed image was created by artist Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre. They were called Daguerreotypes. In 1888, the Kodak roll film camera was developed. In 1927, General Electric created the first flash bulb, which allowed photos to be taken in dark conditions. In 1968, the first “out of this world” photo was taken from the moon. It shows the Earth. First camera image ever
- 6. Background Information Resources used. These can also be links to find more information if you are interested in a particular measuring instrument: http://www.microscope-microscope.org/basic/microscope-history.htm http://www.antiquespectacles.com/telescopes/telescopes.htm http://www.antiquetelescopes.org/history.html http://library.thinkquest.org/04oct/01824/
- 7. Now that you know history… Take out your work page. Pick one measuring instrument you just read about. How would life be different if we did not have this measuring instrument? Write at least 6 sentences explaining how life would be different. Share your ideas with other members in the group.
- 8. After Writing… It’s experiment time! Each group member should take out one bag. Don’t let other people see what is inside! Using only your work page, a pen or pencil, and your brain, describe what is inside your bag in 60 seconds or less. After 60 seconds, all group members should close their eyes and place their object in the box lid. After all objects are placed, open your eyes
- 9. After opening your eyes… Pass your work page to the person on your left. Once you have received someone else's work page, try to determine which object they wrote about using only your eyes and your brain. Once you think you know the answer, take the object out of the box.
- 10. Now see who was right… Once all group members have chosen an object, have each member identify which object they wrote about to see who was correct. Write a short reflection that answers the following questions: Did you guess the correct object? Why or why not? Was the person who had your description able to guess the object correctly?
- 11. Last Step… Use some of the measuring instruments in the box to examine the object you first wrote about. What information could you add to your description to make it more clear and scientific? Write it down on your work page. Final Reflection: If you wrote these descriptions from the beginning, what impact would it have had on your experiment? Would it be harder or easier? Name at least one other measuring instrument that could be used to gather data.
