how important is a strong science education to indian parents ?
science allows you to do very real world things. very practical things.
unlike opinion, which is only good for conversation.
science teaches you real world master. not just a lot of opinions and conversations.
For Indian parents taking care of children is more important than science. Feeding, giving comfort and other things are of more values.
What is the difference between a bachelors of science in computer science and a bachelor’s of science in computer information systems? Which has more job opportunities and better pay? Which one will help me gain more skills in computers?
Computer science is by far the better choice. You’ll learn a lot about programming, computer architecture, and even a little bit about hardware. With such a degree you could work for a software or hardware giant designing new computers and applications.
Information systems deals mostly with installing and maintaining business networks (i.e., being a IT service tech).
I am trying to put a Science Olympiad team together for next year and am planning t-shirts. Does anyone know a funny science quote to put on the back of it?
Think like a man of action, and act like a man of thought.
I’ve passed 2 science classes (Living Environment & Chemistry) and passed the regents with above 65 score. How many more science classes (Regents Science Classes? Regular Science Classes?) do I need to take in order to get a diploma? Do I need to take Regents Science Classes?
Please, Please, Please provide SOURCES!!
Thanks a lot.
in ny the required amount of credits you need is 4 for science
so it depends on how much your classes are worth in credits
One of the worlds worst disasters is religion. Everyone has their own beliefs and each person believes they are right. How do you know your right? Science is the most reliable source to depend on because it bases everything on hypothesis and finding the conclusion and proof of something. Science hasn’t proven any religion yet. So how do you know for sure your religion is right? Sure we have books that explain the way everything was created, but how can we understand the books? Certain words could have meant something different in the old days and those people that believe they know whats right, could be wrong. So what are your opinions on science and faith?
Defenders of faith often withdraw into the whole epistemological argument that we can’t know anything and we all use faith to an extent. While this may be true, I like to believe that scientists have ‘faith in the evidence’ while believers simply have faith, either in a book or their own religious experience, but they don’t question what they believe, read or experience. Scientists doubt scientific knowledge all the time by putting theories through rigorous experiments and actually testing what we know.
I know that college classes are different that just the basic ones that you take in high school. In college what would "science" be called? What are some science classes that focus on mainly different sicknesses and diseases? Like how they spread and stuff. Also what is a science class you can take on the environment?
If you don’t really know that’s fine just tell me science classes that sound really impressive.
Also if you have a master degree in science, what is that called? Because you wouldn’t say that you have a masters degree in science would you?
Basically, physical and biological sciences are the two main categories. However, they subdivide and merge into many different areas. The most popular biological major is biology. Biology is a generalist approach to biological science education. You take fundamental courses that educate you on all biological science topics. Under physical science, the most popular are chemistry and physics. But like I said, there’s many other subject areas too numerous to mention.
Environment is ecology, which falls under biological science.
I have a passion for science, and I would love to work in some sort scientific field when I grow up. There’s only one issue, and it’s a big one – I am terrible at maths. Are there any careers in science, or related to science, which don’t require great maths skills? I am particularly interested in Biology, Chemistry, Evolution, and Genetics.
Unfortunately, math is highly integrated with the sciences. Can you get a tutor? If you really can not do math at all, your career as a scientist is over. Without math you are actually dangerous at data collection, analysis, clinical work, etc.
I want to make sure that I am citing my science resources correctly. Is there a specific way to cite for a science report or is traditional citing acceptable? I am a sophomore in an an honors science class.
Thanks.
You usually use the method of citing used in professional journals (pull out a science journal & look & copy the manner of the reference citing); it is a bit different from traditional reference citing.
I want to learn about things like quarks, positrons and stuff like sub-atomic particles. But I also want to learn about things like chemical structures. What type of science should I study and are there any good books about this type of science?
That’s atomic and nuclear physics and chemistry, also particle physics. So physics is the way to go here. I don’t know many popular books on particle physics, but there’s a bit of it in Weinberg’s ‘The First Three Minutes’ and Green’s ‘The Elegant Universe’.
What good has come from the advances in science? Why is science so dangerous? Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications? Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances? What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science? What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?
> "What good has come from the advances in science?"
You’re typing this on a computer, aren’t you?
You haven’t died of smallpox or diptheria have you?
Have you ever had an operation? Did you require anaesthesia? Antibiotics?
Are you wearing any clothes which contain synthetic fibres?
Does your home contain any electrically-powered appliances?
> "Why is science so dangerous?"
Science is simply a method of rationally investigating the universe by empirical experiment and observation. It is no more or less dangerous than any other tool humanity uses.
> "Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications?"
Of course not.
> "Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances?"
Yes – but it is important that they should.
Any actions of humans – whether scientific or anything else – should always be weighed against morality.
> "What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science?"
That depends what the particular study is setting-out to acheive, and what their odds of success are.
> "What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?"
This isn’t possible to know. But we can hope for quite a few things (new treatments for bacterial and viral infection, new crops to solve the food crisis, alternative energy sources for power-generation, etc.)
Usually science would begin with observations and a hypothesis. But i’m beginning to think that a conclusion from a previous experiment would be a cause to start up a new experiment.
Would true science be?
Actually, the purpose of science can be to disprove a hypothesis as much to prove one. Skepticism is essential to the scientific process, so performing an experiment to support a conclusion or hypothesis is only half the procedure.
Also, your conclusions from a previous experiment are really just observations of a different type. So you really need to start with a hypothesis rather than a conclusion about your upcoming experiment.
Science provoked different laws, theories and observations about each and every phenomena and still continue to explain such phenomena that is beyond our knowledge…. Does Science really provide a sufficient and adequate information in explaining such phenomena?. If yes, justify your answer, If not, can you please discuss an example of a phenomena that science can’t really explain.
I get the impression that you don’t know what you’re asking. If science explains a phenomenon (phenomena is singlular; phenomena is plural), it is by definition not beyond our knowledge.
There are many phenomena that science has not satistfactorily explained. The expansion of the universe at an increasing rate is attributed to dark energy, but no one knows what dark energy is. Most of the matter in the universe is dark matter, but no one knows what dark matter is. It is still uncertain what gives subatomic particles their masses; the Higgs boson has been proposed as an explanation but has not yet been discovered. Relatively little is known about how the brain produces consciousness. There are still debates about the evolutionary basis of altruistic behavior. There are still debates about the existence of group selection. The origin of life is still largely unexplained, although progress has been made.

I have to do a little experiment with all the good stuff: hypothesesis, experiment, conclusion etc etc. What would be a good experiment to do? It doesnt have to be a major full on science experiment, this science class is for people not majoring in science. Any ideas?
The first link below gives guidelines on picking and completing a science project, plus provides a lot of links to other science project sites. Basically, find what area of science interests you most, and then go from there.

Good luck and have fun!
I typically am really bored of science, I think it totally useless for my life. For instance I don’t care what the density of mercury is, or how many moons Jupiter has, none of those things affect my daily life. By course, I mean like Chemistry, Biology or Microbiology, Physics, Earth Science, etc. I have almost graduated from my sophomore year of college I just need a science class.
well first off, college science courses aren’t about memorizing dumb facts like the # of moons jupiter has..thats more hs stuff.. so dont worry about that..
I’d say definitely Bio. it has the most ‘useful’ information if youre not going into a science field or have no interest in science whatsoever…….i found Astronomy to be really interesting though
If I falsify something, haven’t I simply verified its converse? Isn’t this a sort of proof by contradiction that science cannot verify, or falsify anything?
It seems to me that there is a strange asymmetry in logic that is assumed in science.
Please don’t confuse me with some Luddite and proclaim the virtues of science through technological achievement. If you do so, you are completely missing the point of my question.
Verification is for math and logic, not science. To pull a common statement from logic, "All men are mortal." To falsify this, you would "just" have to find a man who is immortal. To verify this, you would have to kill off everyone in the world to prove that everyone can die. Not very feasible, especially as you would have to include yourself.
This is how it goes in my school:
6th grade- Science in general
7th grade- Life Science
8th grade- Earth Science
9th grade- Physical Science
10th grade- Biology
11th grade- Chemistry
12th grade- None
Also, 9th grade takes Health.
I don’t know if that counts as a Science class.
6th-Earth Science
7th-Life Science
8th-Physical Science
9th-Chemistry
10th-Biology
11&12 are varying
I’m a soon-to-be US college graduate, and I’ve been thinking about the fact that many of the high-demand jobs out there (medicine, nursing, engineering) are very science-based.
However, I am getting out with a liberal arts degree, and even as a child I’d found science subjects to be immensely difficult. There was too much memorization, it seemed so arcane and boring, and required intense study for long long periods of time.
How can we make science easier for young people today?
Bill Nye the Science guy!!
I’m starting the planning for a book that’s targeted at kids in 5th-6th grade, and could be used as a classroom science supplement/science guide.
So any parents out there who help their kids with science homework, or actual kids 
what subjects should I try to focus on?
This website has lots of topics and learning resources for science. It is UK based, but I think it will be a good starting place if you are if the USA too.

Hi, I am currently computer science major in college. I am looking for a job that does not require a computer science degree but in the field of IT. I would like to gain experience before I graduate. I’ve been looking for a job in IT field but most of the jobs requires computer science or Information technology degree. What would be good job for me? What certificate might be easy to get to get these jobs?
Why don’t you do a summer internship (or even take a semester off for an internship)? I’m currently employing an intern who has about a year and a half of comp sci. He worked last semester and is working this summer. He’ll go back to school in the Fall with a lot of experience that will help him get through his classes a lot easier.
