Book Report My book ‘Endangered’ by Eliot Schrefer, was about a young girl named Sophie who had to fight to stay alive, taking care of not just herself, but a baby bonobo she named Otto. My book interested me in many ways. One way it interested me was because it showed the bond humans can have with an animal, so therefor we should stop people from killing animals. My quote I used is “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom”. I chose this quote because it tells us that killing animals happens faster than someone gathering knowledge.
My teapot changed dramatically from my preliminary sketches to my final sketch. When I built it and fired it the pice unfortunately broke, but that is where my problem solving skills came in and I just showed the professor and I found out all I had to do to fix it was glue the pieces back together with epoxy glue and that my piece would be fine. I chose to glaze this piece in the same glue I used on my vase because I feel in love with the glaze color. This piece required many skills that we were taught by the professor and that is why it was the last ceramic piece that we had to make. I have definitely gained some great skills and reading over all my journals I can just see my
Reflecting on the amount of schooling I have been through, I still enjoy my everyday math and science classes (I am very aware of my nerdy-ness). I conclude that it is the ideas and concepts that still infatuate me. These classes compose a consciousness in me to be able to solve any problem. My idea of solving problems as a kid was what I imagined most kids would do. I “fixed” all of my stuffed animals with bandages.
In the short article “Why evolution should be taught in public schools” by Laura H. Kahn, author states that in order to understand true science knowledge children in schools should be taught evolution of plants, animals and humans. In the beginning of her passage she gives example of previous science case that had to go through many struggles before it was accepted and approved. “In the nineteenth century, the prevailing dogma was "spontaneous generation." It did nothing to prepare scientists and physicians to develop effective strategies against the infectious diseases that were killing untold numbers of people. Louis Pasteur, the French chemist who developed the rabies vaccine, was instrumental in disproving spontaneous generation and replacing it with the germ theory of disease.
Pre-AP Biology Summer Work General Instructions Or “What do I do with all the stuff in this packet?” Welcome to Pre-AP biology. I hope you are ready for a fun-filled, exciting year. I have put together a packet of information and assignments that will get you started on your road to biological success. One of the first things you will need to do is become familiar with my website. The Laboratory Equipment page should be colored and studied.
Capitan Mark Kelly Ever since I was a young girl I have always had great dreams and high expectations for myself. Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material. Though I did work really hard in my classes, I was still at best average. During my junior year I took my SAT’s, and cried when I got my scores back. For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.
I then moved on to search for the dye; this was found by the side of the tub where I normally dye Easter eggs due to the calm environment it provides. With my testing at a dead end and the crayons still missing I decided to turn to other people for more ideas; the first step was to Google search this happening. Unfortunately no cases of purple vomit were found in all of Google so I turned to ask my friends if their pets had ever done anything similar. One of my friends suggested taking my cat and the vomit I had saved to the vet who would be able to give me further information. After extensive testing, the veterinarian did in fact discover a Crayola crayon wrapper in the purple
Search Story The Nubians have always fascinated me ever since I had to do a short report on them in the sixth grade. I used to know very much about the Nubians, but frozen interest had gotten the better of me and I quit. I then proceeded to eventually unlearn almost everything about the Nubians except their name, so I have decided to do my I-search on the Nubians. Though doing this I-search will help me to a grade in English it will also help me my fire that burned for Nubian knowledge. As I soon found out, there are many websites that are not good sources for Nubian knowledge (*cough cough* Wikipedia *cough cough*).
There are only two things to do in Washington, DC when the heat of August is inexorably descending: escape to the swimming pool or the Smithsonian. I learned this lesson well when I first worked in DC, so why was I now spending my second summer in DC inside, studying organic chemistry? With my molecular models spread around me, I berated myself for my career ambivalence during the two years when I should have been taking pre-med classes-ironically, the only time in my life when I was not sure that I wanted to be a doctor. In that moment, that indecision seemed foolhardy. Now I believe that the path that I took was the best way for me to make a fully informed and committed decision to be a physician.
After graduating from high school I was certain I wanted to study biology and then pursue medical school. My plan changed however when I realized in my junior year that biology didn’t require a lot of the practical and social elements I aspired. I began my research on what professions allowed more of a close-knit relationship with patients and what fields of study incorporated this earlier on in my academics. I spoke to my advisor and she told me about the accelerated nursing program, at first I thought another bachelors degree, that’s absurd; but I kept it in the back of my mind. As fate would have it, that summer I began to volunteer at greenbelt pediatrics.
