Mechanical Philosophy During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, natural philosophers were starting to reject Aristotelianism and began finding other forms of natural philosophy to study and believe in. One of the popular philosophies in the seventeenth century was mechanical philosophy. “Mechanical Philosophy sought to explain all natural phenomena in the terms of matter and motion without recourse to any kind of action at a distance (cause and effect without any physical contact) (Mechanical

Stage 1 Physics Practical- motion Aim: To investigate the speeds of different moving objects. Hypothesis: If the ball is heavier then it will longer to cover a distance, therefore it will travel at a slower speed. Variables: Independent- The independent variable that was established before the practical was the weight of the ball. Dependent- Where the dependent variable relying on the independent variable was the time taken for the ball to travel a certain distance. Controlled-The

20th century, the field of professional astronomy split into observational and theoretical branches. Observational astronomy is focused on acquiring data from observations of astronomical objects, which is then analyzed using basic principles of physics. Theoretical astronomy is oriented toward the development of computer or analytical models to describe astronomical objects and phenomena. The two fields complement each other, with theoretical astronomy seeking to explain the observational results

Albert Einstein was born in Germany, He was one of the greatest minds in world history, and known as a brilliant physicist who contributed more to the scientific world than any other person. He majorly contributed to the four areas of the science; Light, Time, Energy, and Gravity .His theories on relativity paved the way for how science currently views time, space, energy, and gravity. Despite troubles in education and learning as a child, Einstein surpassed the odds and helped revolutionize science

The Bad Effects of Dynamic Learning Program approach in Physics and Math in the studies of Fourth Year students of EHSD INTRODUCTION Dynamic Learning Program was conceptualized by Dr. Christopher Bernido and Dr. Maria Victoria Carpio-Bernido. Both of them are Ramon Magsaysay awardees, they made this learning program in order to provide better education in Filipino students who have their own potentials. This school year 2012-2013 was the very first year that EHSD adapt this program. It includes

and influencing others, and it is the people’s interaction with one another with the view of affecting others opinions. 2. Do you agree that there is science of politics? Yes! I agree! Although, political science is not an exact science as physics or chemistry which are pure or natural sciences but it is a social science as Economics and Sociology. Why I agree that there is science of politics is because politics deals with man and employs scientific approach in the study of man. But the

Albert Einstein’s childhood dream of working in mathematics and in the sciences, was far from an easy road to success and to a transformation, which changed the future for mankind forever. The book “Science Secrets: The Truth about Darwin's Finches, Einstein's Wife, and Other Myths,” written by Alberto A. Martinez, chronicles the many difficulties that Albert Einstein faced while pursuing his dream career. Martinez suggests: After exhausting and nearly traumatic final exams, Albert [Einstein] graduated
