A Moment of Science

 Scientific Method Infographic  Created by Julia Loda What I learned about the Scientific Method: What do you think the most important characteristics of a scientist: In this process of creating this infographic and iterating what I have already learned I feel like I was able to understand more after having to restate it all. The scientific method has taught me the underlying message that things aren't linear, you are going to have to tweak or adjust and that is just the way of life. I learned that it is so important to start with a question you are passionate about otherwise it won't be as enjoyable of a process for you. I think the most important characteristic of a scientist is being able to stay open-minded or ana out of the box thinker. If you approach aspects of experiments or even live like this you will learn so much more and be able to explore so much more. This will help you to not think so linear in problem-solving and experimental designing.

 Scientific Method Project  EXPLORE & LEARN What even is a Scientific Method? Well, it is a process of exploring and observing that gives you an answer to a question! It consists of six steps: 1. Ask the question!    - This is your who, where, what, why?' 2. Do the research     -  Find reliable and scholarly sources to help you ensure the information is accurate. Use your library resources!  3. Construct a Hypothesis - Let's make an educated guess! This is where you attempt to answer your question with a statement that can be tested..."If I do X, then Y" 4.  Test your Hypothesis  - Time to see if what you guessed is true! Here we are carrying out experimental tests to see if the hypothesis made will be supported or not. Make sure you share your results! 5. Analyze and Conclude - Now it is time for you to look back at all the data you collected and draw up a conclusion. What did you learn?  Was your hypothesis accurate or do...

 Science Inquiry  ENGAGE Science literacy gives you an understanding and empowers you Asking questions and doing research is key, you never want to believe someone blindy   We are susceptable to self delusion (we want to be indepenednt from out emotional state)   Innovation in science and technology allows nations to rise   Understanding what is going on in science is key  Engage - Students should be making connections between past and present learning as well as anticipating outcomes   Explore - Enviroment and activity manipulation of materials, identifying processes/concepts/skills   Explain - Verbalizing new concepts, introductory terms and definitions   Elaborate - Practice new skills and concepts to gain mastery   Evaluation - Teachers and students asses understanding  While listening to Neil Degrasse Tyson on Science   my eyes were opened on the matter of science literacy and j...

 This past week we have been introduced to a few educational technology tools that will help us to grow as educators as well as students. This week we looked into Flipgrids as well as out bitmoji classrooms on google slides. I really enjoyed the process of creating on both of these platforms and think that they would be extremely beneficial to use within the classroom (virtual or in-person). In regards to my google slides bitmoji classroom, utilizing bitmoji's is such a simple thing to do that enhances a presentation greatly. Listening to my classmates introduce themselves along with their classroom they created made it much more interesting in a viewer's point of view. To see my google slides classroom see figure 1 below. To check out my Efolio, where for science methods I keep track of all my important work and compile it click here ! For this class when creating out flipgrid we had to answer questions like what we wanted as a superpower or what was something awesome that hap...
