...Atom, Molecules and Elements Ions: an atom or group of atoms that has an electric charge. Isotopes: an atom with different numbers of neutrons in their nucleus. (These extra neutrons have NO EFFECT ON THE CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of the atoms but they do affect the weight of the atom.) Particle Location Weight Charge Proton Nucleus 1 amu Positive Neutron Nucleus 1 amu Neutral Electrons Electron Cloud 0 amu Negative Valence electrons: electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. Atomic Weight: the ratio of the average mass of atoms of an element (average weight of all the isotopes) (# of protons + # of electrons) Atomic Mass: the mass of a specific isotope Atomic number: the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom Periods: In the periodic table, each horizontal row is called a period. The elements in each period have the same number of shells. Groups: Each vertical column is called a group. Each of the elements in the same group has the same number of valence electrons in their outer shells. Covalent Bond: atoms share the electrons. Ionic Bond: one atom wants to give away an extra electron(s) that it doesn’t need, and one atom wants more electrons to have a complete shell. The atom that gives away an electron becomes positive (*at first it was neutral, but since it gave an electron, which is negative, away, it became positive.), and the one that gains an electron becomes negative. They are held together like magnets (static-magnetic force). Important...

I also would like to appreciate Mr. Rodzuan B. Raziki and Mr. Calen Woi for their moral support. A special thank to the pupils of 5A3 and 5A4 for their involvement in this study. Without their cooperation and the grace of god, this research won’t be successful. 1 Abstract This research was carried out to assist the pupils in answering section B Science Year 5 questions using TCTOTMTKS method. The objective of study was to identify TCTCTMTKS variables using science process skill and circle method. 98 respondents were involved in this study. Respondents are from 5A3 and 5A4 pupils were selected from 7 classes. Early observations had been carried out through exercises in classrooms. Through the observations, it was seen that the students were having difficulty in identifying variables from the experiment and unable to answer the following questions. Thus, this research focuses on how to identify to change, to observe, to measure and to keep the same variables by using science process skill and circling method. Pre-test and post-test were used to assess respondent achievement...

...In the growing field of STEM today, each nation is preparing its youth to aid its economy. The US is lagging behind because of the international PISA test in 2013. We remained average in math, but dropped in science and reading. However, a math and science institution gives more importance to STEM than other average high schools; therefore, IMSA will assist me in looking at education differently because of its conceptual learning, and because of its student-based research on Wednesdays. As a matter of fact, a math and science academy will also increase my odds of getting accepted into a prestigious college. When I glanced at the course catalog for the previous school year, IMSA stunned me because compared to my high school, IMSA possessed far more advanced courses....

They tested two different types of vaccines: a shot and a nasal spray. To test the effectiveness, 1000 participants were randomly selected with 500 people getting the shot and 500 the nasal spray. Of the 500 people were treated with the shot, 80 developed the flu and 420 did not. Of the people who were treated with the nasal spray, 120 people developed the flu and 380 did not. The level of significance was set at .05. The proportion of people who were treated with the shot who developed the flu = .16, and the proportion of the people who were treated with the nasal spray was .24. The calculated p value = .0008.

...of modern medicine reads like good fiction, rich with characters of mixed stripes: insensitive jerks, ignorant brainiacs; some blindly altruistic to the point of naïveté, others who fully understood that they were deceiving patients about the true value of their cast-off tissues.” (Wright, 2010). The author closes her review with “As we hurtle toward the day when a visit to the doctor begins with a thorough DNA exam, the question of what exactly we’ll leave for the taking when we exit remains wide open.” (Wright, 2010). These comments are indicators of the author’s viewpoint on the matter. I always find myself with ambivalent feelings and viewpoints in terms of the science of medicine and how discovery and advances are made, especially when there are people of color involved. Historically, African Americans have been the “guinea pig” group for all types of trials and testing. I believe this stems from early societal structure and the determination to prove that African Americans were the most inferior group of human beings. I also believe in research and the science of medicine for the sake of medical advancements and the phenomenal discoveries. I think when researchers are working diligently on; publishing, discovering and other things to advance their careers, sometimes their decisions and actions lack integrity and ethics. Of course, this was prior to the creation of any Institutional Review Board, but the fact remains there are still some trials and...

...Challenges In Teaching Science, Part II Posted on April 8, 2009 Recently I asked a class what they thought their greatest challenges would be in teaching science. They came up with a great list. Here it is: 1. Preparing students for state exams while giving students a positive outlook of science 2. Familiarity with classroom manipulatives. How to choose right/appropiate outside readings and material. 3. Change in mindset when moving to a learner focused teaching method. Changing nature of science based on what is currently known 4. How to create a rubric that can be used to effectively assess students in a timely manner. 5. How to tailor class plans, activities, and scientific language for students of different ages and different skills. 6. Increase pressures on a teachers “teaching” time, including planning and assessment time. How to fit science into 40 minute periods? 7. Lack of institutional commitment to science. Expense, storage and choice of science materials. 8. How to keep students on task in the science classroom. Coming up with activities that will spark imagination and fit the curriculum. THE NEED FOR SCIENCE INSTRUMENTS [pic] The need for more science apparatus cannot be overemphasized. Apparatus are a must in every science class. It is said that for science to be learned, it must be experienced; there must be adequate apparatus to experiment with. Several studies showed that the lack of standard science equipment in schools...
