We are going to discuss through our lecture the right procedures to begin a science project focusing on
• Proper way of finding an idea
• Critical thinking
• The types of Science Project
• From where can I get an idea?
• How to know that I can do this project or I cannot do it?
• Wrong thoughts which many believe in them
We will provide at the end of the lecture training for the attendees in order to ensure their understanding of the main aspects of the lecture and applying what they learned practically.

Don't let assumptions kill good ideas web con 2021Lauren Liss
You know what they say happens to you and me when we assume. Let's not get caught in that trap. Find methods to help you challenge assumptions and uncover better ideas. These quick workflow fixes can help you address where you should ask more questions, find different answers, work better as a team, and - ultimately - create better products and services. We will walk through a series of activities that can be applied to your creative development process to build more functional, engaging, and user-centered work and help your teams be more productive, goal-oriented, and inquisitive. These activities will vary in complexity - some as quick as 5 minutes, some more in-depth that require a couple of hours of work - but all are geared at helping you find something actionable that you can add to your toolkit.

Stat 30100 Media ProjectBig Picture
Overview: You need to post 1 unique article/explanation about an experiment OR 1 unique article/explanation about an observational study. You must also make 4 statistically intelligent and valid comments on other people’s posts. These comments should be split between observational studies and experiments (read two of each).
Read over this entire document to get the details of exactly what is required. Each article/explanation is worth up to 25 points, and each statistically intelligent comment that moves the discussion forward is worth 5 points. The whole assignment is worth 45 points.
Purpose: Statistics are everywhere in the media. Some are used well, and some are not. As part of the goal of this course, you will become a savvy media statistics consumer. This project is not meant to be completed in one night. You are expected to keep your eyes open for statistics in the media over the whole semester.
Please note the articles must be news stories—they cannot be course materials designed to teach statistical methods. The stories do not have to be recent. Your posting has to be UNIQUE. It won’t count if another student has posted a link to the same story or if your instructor has mentioned it in class. This means a Washington Post story about a research project will count as exactly the same as an MSNBC story about the same research. You will have to read what other students have posted and written in order to make sure that your posting is unique. We will check postings across sections, too, to make sure you aren’t sharing posts with students in other sections.Your Discussion Post
You should begin a new thread with your topic, and include:
1.) A link to the website or upload the relevant file.
2.) The requested explanation or calculation (See below.)
3.) Format your post like this: “Observational Study: In this article, Gallup polled 200 people about ….” so that it is clear to everyone which topic you have chosen.
4.) Use “Observational Study” or “Experiment” in the title (no quotation marks necessary). This may help you ensure that you haven’t duplicated anyone else’s post.Commenting on Other Posts
You must make at least 4 comments on posts from other people. (Note: Only 1 comment per person per post will receive credit, so don’t try 4 comments on just one post. The goal is to get you reading and commenting on lots of different posts.) These comments must be thoughtful, indicate that you have thoroughly read the article and any previous comments on that article, and must add to the level of discussion on the statistical concepts. Balance your comments between experiment articles and the observational study articles. The instructor may post articles also, and a comment on those are acceptable for earning your discussion points.
Just as with everything we do in this course, please keep in mind that it is important to be respectful of each other and to engage in professional dialogue..
Taming Complexity and Sparking Innovation Through Ideation and Design ThinkingBayCHI
Gayle Curtis, Design Consultant at BayCHI, December 8, 2009: A design thinking approach to product development gives us a place to start and a way to proceed with problems that are tricky and ill-defined. It can help tame their complexity and uncover innovative solutions. At the heart of this approach is ideation, the capacity for generating ideas and entertaining alternatives, which we most often practice in brainstorming sessions. In this talk we will look at the background, values and techniques of brainstorming and how to structure effective brainstorm sessions. We will also look at the ways group brainstorms can enhance team performance and serve as the sparkplug for an innovation pipeline.

2. 3.1.5 Demonstrate the ability to work
cooperatively while respecting the ideas of
others and communicating one’s own conclusions
about findings.

3. Chromatography - A technique used to separate the
components of a chemical mixture by moving the mixture
along a stationary material.
Soluble – capable of being dissolved or liquefied.
Solvent – a substance that can dissolve another substance.
Water is the most common solvent.
Definitions taken from the science dictionary portion of http://dictionary.reference.com/
4. Many scientists work together in teams. This way,
they can discover important things using the ideas
and viewpoints of many, rather than one.
The keys to “cooperative discovery” is to
communicate well and to listen and respect the
findings and thoughts of others.
Scientists often have results that vary, even when
they are performing the same experiment. Consider
this (and potential reasons for this) while
performing this experiment.
5. You will perform these steps with one to three
partners. Each student will do one of their own.
Take one of the round pieces of filter paper and
cut a small hole in the middle. The hole should be
about the size of the rolled up pieces of paper
towel – large enough to accommodate it; small
enough to hold the paper towel in place.
Use the black marker and draw dots, lines or some
simple pattern on the filter paper - each partner
can create their own design, but keep it simple.
6. Push one of the rolled up pieces of paper towel
through the hole in the filter paper.
Pour about an inch of water into the bottom of the
cup.
Place the filter paper at the top of the cup – the
rolled up paper towel should dip into the water.
Now, as you wait, discuss with your partner(s) what
you think will happen to your assembly. Note your
hypotheses on the next slide.
Hint: it will take about 10 to 15 minutes for results
to begin, so you have plenty of time to discuss.
7.
8. What did the water do?
What happened to the black ink? Can you make
any observations about what makes up black
ink?
Does everybody’s experiment look the same?
Record your thoughts on the next slide.
9.
10. Which entry best describes what happened in
your experiment?
A – My designs became bigger.
B – My designs separated into different colors.
C – The black ink ran onto the paper towel.
D – Nothing of interest happened.
11. What do you think would happen with different
color ink? Try it out.
Did you and your partners have different
designs? (lines, dots, etc.) Did the design or
shape make a difference?
Can you think of different ways of setting up
the experiment? (think materials, process, etc.)
