Scientific Method BrainPOP

3 Things I Discovered 


1.    How curiosity can benefit society through i4s: 
involvement -> imagination -> invention-> innovation. 

2.    The scientific method starts when you ask a question about something that you observe: How, What, When, Who, Which, Why, or Where?

3.     Science depends on interactions within the scientific community. Different parts of the process of science may be carried out by different people at different times. 


2 Interesting Facts or Details 


1.    Growing up the Scientific Method was heavily incorporated in the science curriculum. It was interesting to read that scientist now describe it to be “too simple!” and fails to accurately portray how real science works. 

2.    The Scientific Method implies that science concludes, in reality, it is often on going, raises new questions, and answers others along the way. 


1 Question I Still Have


1. I wonder if technology will ever take over teachers and their jobs. After all, people are getting their degrees online in the comfort of their own homes, so why not? After doing some research I found this article to address just how beneficial teachers are for student’s overall development. Check it out! 






I have always been a fan of BrainPOP and the educational videos they provide for students. They cover topics in such a way that allows students to understanding difficult concepts, material, and definitions in a kid friendly manner. As for my results, I felt that video provided the necessary information in order to answer the questions correctly. I did also partake in the review just to see the type of questions that would be asked. I would recommend the review to students whom still express a misunderstanding of the material, as it eliminates the answers until you answer correctly and helps prepare you for the graded quiz.

Me Vs. Scientist

As I think back on my science experiences, the first memory that comes to mind is a volcano I made in 1st grade that was left on my desk for my parents to watch it erupt during open house. I have always found science rather intriguing. I believe it is constantly growing and adapting in a multitude of ways, from its research development to technology. Science was always a subject I throughly enjoyed, whether it was Earth Science and going through the life cycle, to dissecting pigs, and the human body. Being hands on during experiments or simply gathering information, I found all aspects of science to be useful in some way. Based on my personal experiences with school I would define science as the observation, study, and application of both living and nonliving things. Stereotypes linger around what / who a scientist is. Our class did an icebreaker activity where we were told to draw what we believe a scientist looks like. Most consisted of males in a lab coat wearing safety goggl

Chapter 7: Integrating Science and Engineering  Teaching science involves aligning your lessons with next-generation science standards. Science/engineering and language arts can all be incorporated during lessons. You can seek connections with language arts to science lessons. Science/engineering can be incorporated into mathematics. Based on the standards of both math and language arts you can use both in your science lesson and make the lesson even more intriguing.   Science/engineering can also be incorporated into social studies lesson, art and music and health and physical education. Teaching your students that science can be incorporated into all subjects can change their perception of science. Science becomes more interesting when it can be used in many different subjects and lessons.  Chapter 8: Using Technology to Enhance Science Learning Technology is every where today. Rather than viewing technology as a negative, us future teachers should accept and incorpo

Climate what?

CLIMATE CHANGE ! This is not a joke, not something people should think can’t happen, IT IS HAPPENING .  Climate change is now faster and more prominent than ever before. Growing up I can remember hearing about it once and awhile, not ever questioning it or really thinking about more than in that moment. Today I see people standing on the side of busy roadways protesting change be done to help our Earth. Human health, agriculture, energy, ecosystems, and so much more are being impacted and effected by climate change at this very moment. How do we not see an issue with this ? maybe because the time there really is nothing left we may not be around? our children's children will be suffering but we won’t be there so it won’t matter, right? NO. We need to make a change now to prevent any further impacts on society. This young girl left me speechless. Her words, emotions, and the way she didn’t hold back was almost shocking to see. Her voice at such a young age is not only po
