Welcome to Science Forward! In this course we will explore the nature of science by learning and practicing the skills that scientists use to do their work. We will investigate many different fields of science, from astronomy to botany to genetics and many more!<\/p>\n
During this first unit, I would like you to get to know how this course is laid out and where all the important resources are. Every unit will be set up like this one with a list of learning objectives, tasks you should complete, the required readings\/videos, assignments, and the self assessment forms. This is a hybrid class and this site is part of our classroom, so it is very important that you familiarize yourself with its structure and hold yourself to regularly visiting the site and completing your tasks.<\/p>\n
Unit 1 (and 3) will have a philosophy of science focus to set us up for the rest of the semester. In our Philosophy of Science unit, we will start exploring the nature of science. How is it defined? Is this definition flexible? We will discuss how our understanding of science has changed and compare the way scientists communicate their results with the way those results are then reported to the pubic. This activity directly relates to what you will have to do for your News Essay.<\/p>\n
No self assessment this class because I want you to do the “Other Items” listed above.<\/em><\/p>\n **After you press “Submit”, you will get an email that has your answers and the correct answers.** Remember that to get credit for doing these, they have to be completed BEFORE class. They are ungraded and are for you to make sure you got the main points of the readings\/videos.<\/p>\n [insert form here]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Summary: Welcome to Science Forward!
