Branches and Jobs In Science and Good Science Discussion
3 Main Branches of Science • Life Science – The study of living things – 7 th grade – Biology, ecology • Physical Science – The study of matter and energy – 8 th grade – Physics, chemistry • Earth Science – The study of the earth and other planets – 9 th grade – Astronomy, meteorology, oceanography
Degrees in Science – A. A. S. is an Associate of Applied Science • 1 to 2 years after high school • Less money, but more jobs – B. S. is a Bachelor of Science • 4 to 5 years after high school • More money than high school education – M. S. is a Master of Science • 1 to 4 years after a B. S. • More money, but less jobs available – Ph. D is a Doctor of Philosophy • 4 to 8 years after a B. S. • More money, but less jobs available
Degrees in Science (con’t) – M. D. is a Medical Doctor • 4 years after a B. S. • The doctor you visit when you are sick – D. D. S. is a Doctor of Dental Surgery • 4 years after a B. S. • The dentist – D. V. M. is a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine • 4 years after a B. S. • The doctor you visit when your pet is sick
Jobs/People in Science – Scientists (M. S. , Ph. D) • Discover new things • Discover and describe new laws in science – Engineers (B. S. , M. S. , Ph. D. ) • Use existing discoveries to improve our lives • Use science to improve existing products – Technicians (Certificate, A. A. S. , B. S. , M. S. ) • Install, repair, fix, and/or maintain equipment
Good Science Class Discussion Asking Questions: • Level 1 Questions • Level 2 Questions • Level 3 Questions
Good class discussions involve: • Active listening of every student • Staying on topic • Students who courageously share their ideas • Focusing on Level 2 and 3 Questions • Students responding to other students • Students asking questions of other students • Allowing others to share their points • Challenging the ideas of others in a respectful way
Don’t play guess what is on the teacher’s mind. I want to hear what you think. Your ideas and questions are important!!!
Level 1 Questions ask to recall facts and information. These questions have specific answers. Words typically used: define, recall, recognize, remember, who, what, where, when, describe, compare, contrast, rephrase, put in your own words, explain the main idea Ex: If we are discussing elements and the periodic table, you may ask: • “What is the symbol for hydrogen? ” • “What is the name of the first column of elements? ”
Level 2 Questions ask about extensions and applications of the topic. Words typically used: apply, classify, use, choose, employ, write and example, solve, how many, which, what is, identify motives/causes, draw conclusions, determine evidence, support, analyze, why Ex: If we are discussing characteristics of the tundra biome, you may ask: • “Why is it so cold? ” • “What housing and clothes do human need to live there? ”
Level 3 Questions ask how to use the information to go beyond the topic. These questions have no specific answer. Words typically used: predict, produce, write, design, develop, synthesize, construct, how can we improve, what would happen if, can you devise, how can we solve. Ex: If we are discussing fossil fuels: • “What are some alternatives to gasoline? ” • “How will our society need to change when gasoline is gone in a few years? ”
