The Science Of Engineering And Science Education

science -inquiry concepts. In the video clip from lesson 4,minute Students will work together to form hypothesis, observe ,follow procedure ,collect and analyze data, write a conclusion. This lab has four stations, with each stations student were dealing with situation involving phenomenon that they see outside of the classroom, likely on daily basis. so, with each station the Students can be seen using data and their observations as evidence to explain why they were seeing this real-world phenomenon. then students need to answer the lab analysis questions that also connect them with real world. video 2. Furthermore, to help students construct their explanations, I asked questions that push students to make connections to the real world. For example, in video 2, minute , I ask students why organic compounds dose not conduct electricity ? and how about if we try using water and salt ?

In my mind STEM is more than an acronym. It’s the key to saving Baseball. I think that the great American pastime is dying off because young fans don’t care. What do many of the young fans care about ? STEM

The Student Center for Science Engagement (SCSE) at Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), was established in 2008 with the mission to support students majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines with the challenges they face in their academic and career development. Mentoring relationships, critical components of the SCSE’s influence, are fostered by the SCSE’s advisors, mostly Ph.D.-level minority scientists. Accessibility to STEM professionals who reflect the student population has allowed students to envision themselves as scientists. SCSE advisors have systematically implemented holistic advising including but not limited to major and career exploration, research

Most schools now are pushing for students to have a STEM education only believing that it prepares them for the world that’s becoming highly competitive and complex. When coming across STEM education what your thoughts? Why do people like STEM and what’s the objective of STEM? STEM is based on four curriculums – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM integrates the four into an organized learning template based on real-world applications. It’s showing students how to apply the scientific method in our everyday lives. When schools are pushing for STEM cuts are being made towards arts and humanities. The future of students is being chosen for them, they no longer have that freedom to choose. We should not standardize our education because it just messes up the system. STEM should not be the only best way for an education to run, the best way for an education is incorporate arts, humanities, and the college experience a student should have.

The economy states that a good level of education is essential in todays’ world and science based subjects will make children more conscious of their surroundings and the wider world. The global environment has been subject to much discussion amongst leading political figures, and Summits, such as the UN Climate Change Conferences where tacking such things as global warming are discussed and scientific evidence produced with the aim of saving the planet from itself. The reporting of this in the mainstream media may encourage children to be more aware of their environment, how these changes affect then and the impact of these changes on a global scale. This may increase their broader understanding of the need for a scientific education and

Accordingly to Bell’s article for levels of inquiry, “The National Science Education Stamdards characterize inquiry instruction as involving students in a form of active learning that emphasizes questioning, data analysis, and critical thinking.” The level of inquiry that was planned in this 5E lesson is a guided inquiry. In this lesson plan, the students are investigating teacher-presented questions using student designed and selected procedures. As we may know, the less information that is given to a learner, the higher the level of inquiry will be.

The lab safety exercise is important to future lab exercises. Knowing the lab safety guidelines will keep others, yourself, equipment, and facilities safe from danger and destruction. If students didn’t know the lab safety guidelines, bad things would happen such as destroy equipment, damage equipment, personal injury, or even death. Knowing how to handle these lab safety rules will help students in the future. Lab safety is a major characteristic of every lab based science class. Lab safety is needed so that science students don’t injure themselves or their classmates in future lab

I attended the Sanford Research Lecture series at the Washington Pavillon on October 13 at 4pm. The topic or title of the speech was “The Changing National Landscape in STEM Education: Connecting the Dots”. It was presented by Jay Labov who has a PhD and is affiliated with National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. The purpose of his speech was to inform us of the need for STEM careers and how many people who start as a STEM career never finish. The goal of informing us of this is to show how important it is to properly educate the STEM fields so more people get an understanding of it and to keep people involved within the field.

In my classes at Joliet West High School, I find many of the topics so engaging. I will often be so focused on whatever concept we are learning, that I do not bother to look at the clock and notice how much time is passing. It feels as though our 55 minute class periods are over in the blink of an eye. I certainly know this because sometimes at the end of the day, my friends would remark on how the day felt so slow, when for me it felt as if it flew by. However the classes that truly captivate my attention are my science classes.

Assessing laboratory learning provides opportunities for experiential learning through trial and error, which contributes to deeper understanding. It encourages the development of interpersonal skills such as teamwork, peer teaching, negotiation and collaboration. Shop subjects that include laboratory tasks such as masonry technology gives the learners greater responsibility and autonomy in making decisions and time managing. The laboratory is a unique learning environment that enables and consolidates "learning through doing". Assessing this learning can enhance students' conceptual understanding of the theory–practice relationship, their higher level reasoning skills and the development of their practical competence in laboratory work.

In this paper, I strive to use the knowledge I acquired about teaching science to effectively describe an exceptional science class that encourages students to inquire and investigate their world. During observation of this STEM based science class, I observe several teaching techniques used to effectively shape and structure the science methods being used. The class community was very immersed into the science methodological process skills as students were inspired to discover while becoming effective problem solvers. This analysis will provide a detailed understanding of the skills and teaching techniques used as well as the role they play in the daily running of and effective science classroom.

Through this the lab should be executed with a high degree of effectiveness due to the background knowledge obtained and various concepts learnt, the lab should contain relatively accurate information if performed right, along with following the background theory ideas presented so that our calculations can be accurately made.

Pollack explains that there are still so few women in science because of stereotypes and the effect they have on female students. She talked to many young women who were majoring in STEM programs and they all had similar stories of discrimination starting in the k-12 level. Many girls mentioned they were the only girls in the high level science and math classes in high school. One girl mentioned she was graded different than her male peers because the teacher believed she could not be judged as harshly as a boy. While Universities may brag about the high level of women studying STEM fields at their institutions, most of the professors and fellow students do not encourage the women to continue studying in the STEM fields. Women go into University

An exciting new field is emerging within pedagogy as we know it. STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)although predominately in the United States Secondary and vocational systems, the benefits of a stem based curriculum are only just being considered here in Australia as far as integration into the secondary education system.

Science is, by its nature, inquiry based and science knowledge is built through processes in which discoveries of the natural world are made (Abruscato, 2000). It utilizes discovery and scientific thinking process to explore and learn knowledge and skills. Learning by doing is the new efficient method in teaching science. For kindergarten, this method leads to better understanding of science concepts and builds skills that children will use in future life .What a child can do with assistance now, they can later do on their own (Vygotsky, 1978). John Dewey (1916) stated that children must be engaged in an active quest for learning and new ideas. Inquiry is important in educating kindergarteners because it not only keeps them interested in lessons but also helps them retain more information when performing exploration and investigation. Children are naturally motivated to learn and actively seek out information to help their understanding (Piaget, 1950).The success of students who participate in hands- on inquiry activities suggests that if students have first hands experience with science, concepts are easier to understand and apply and students are generally more favorable to science and have better understanding of the nature of science .Within a conceptual framework, inquiry learning and active learner involvement can lead to important outcomes in the classroom. In kindergarten, students who are actively making observations, collecting results and drawing
