Science and Technology

DivyanshuTyagi8

Science is a systematic process of building and organizing knowledge through testable explanations and predictions, while technology is the application of tools and techniques to solve problems or achieve goals. Together, science and technology underpin all aspects of modern life and have transformed how we live, work, travel, communicate, and access healthcare and information. We rely on the contributions of science and technology even when performing everyday tasks like turning on lights or getting a glass of water.

It’s the age of participatory engagement, and the crowd is making vital contributions in areas where only experts used to tread. How can museums harness their visitors’ collective skills and intelligence, not just to make exhibits and programs more engaging but also to help carry out the museum’s scientific, historical, aesthetic, or environmental work? In this panel, we looked at how three science-themed institutions are approaching this new frontier and what the future holds in three state-of-the-art facilities now on the drawing boards: a new learning space at the National Museum of Natural History; a redesigned visitor center at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida; and the new Nature Research Center at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. In the q&a, we debated the whys and hows of bringing citizen science inside the museum and inviting visitors to lend their hands, eyes, and minds to the cause.

What is science

The document discusses the nature of science by providing a checklist of key characteristics of science and comparing it to Ernest Rutherford's investigation into the structure of the atom. Some key points made are: - Science asks questions about the natural world and studies natural phenomena through observation, evidence and testing of ideas. It aims to understand the universe and how things work. - Rutherford's atomic research exemplified the scientific process by using tools to study atoms, which cannot be seen, in order to learn about their structure. - While science can investigate many topics, it is limited to natural explanations and cannot address supernatural phenomena or concepts outside the natural world.

Geologic Similes

The document discusses four geologic principles - uniformitarianism, superposition, original horizontality, and catastrophism - and compares each principle to the layers of a cake. Uniformitarianism is like a cake in that the ingredients and process of making a cake are always the same. Superposition is like a cake as the bottom layer was placed first and each subsequent layer above it is younger. Original horizontality is like cake layers in that they should be placed horizontally. Catastrophism is like a dropped cake that is suddenly ruined. The document provides additional examples comparing the principles to other everyday items like clothes piles and bicycles.

Exploration

Ancient societies like the Egyptians, Mayans, and builders of Stonehenge began exploring the night sky to develop calendars and track seasonal changes. Greeks like Aristotle and Ptolemy developed early geocentric models of the solar system, though their ideas were inaccurate. Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important contributions to establishing the heliocentric model through observations, mathematics, and physics theories like gravity. Continued exploration has led to discoveries of new objects in our solar system like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.

Exploration

What time is it?

The document discusses the Earth's rotation and revolution and how it influences time measurements. It takes the Earth approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation on its axis. The days of the week are named after objects visible in the sky, with Sunday through Friday named after the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Months are based on the moon's cycle around Earth, taking approximately 28 days, while years represent the time for Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, which takes 365.2422 days.

Geologic Principle Similes

The document discusses geological principles for understanding the Earth's history using the analogy of a layer cake. It explains four key principles: 1) Uniformitarianism - geological processes occurred the same way in the past as today, like how cakes are made the same way each time. 2) Superposition - the oldest sedimentary layers are on the bottom, like how cake layers are placed with the bottom being oldest. 3) Original Horizontality - sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers, similar to cake layers being placed horizontally. 4) Catastrophism - geological change can occur suddenly, akin to a dropped cake being ruined suddenly.

Dance of the planets

The document describes the fundamental force of gravity. It explains that gravity is a weak but predictable force that helped form the universe and has a constant presence, distorting space and time and acting on all matter through mass. Gravity keeps objects like ourselves on Earth and the Earth orbiting the sun according to laws proposed by Newton and Einstein describing gravity's proportional relationship to mass and dependence on net force and inertia.

Why do we measure time the way that we do

Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis over 24 hours. Weeks consist of 7 days which are associated with the sun and visible objects in the night sky. Months are based on the moon's approximately 29.5 day revolution around Earth, though months contain 30-31 days. Years measure the 365.2422 days it takes Earth to orbit the sun, requiring a leap year every four years, except for centennial years which must be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.

Cloud Challenge: Alto Clouds

This document discusses two types of middle-level clouds known as alto clouds: altostratus and altocumulus. Altostratus clouds are gray and blue clouds that often cover the sky and are associated with areas of storms and continuous precipitation, composed of ice and water droplets. Altocumulus clouds appear as gray, puffy masses that form in parallel waves or bands, usually occurring on warm, humid summer mornings and often indicating upcoming thunderstorms. Pictures and websites with additional information about alto clouds are also provided.
