Observation is important as the practitioner can find out what the child is interested in and what motivates them to learn alongside their progress and how they behave in certain situations, additionally at the same time it identifies if children need assistance within certain areas of learning or socially (DCSF, 2008). Furthermore the observations check that the child is safe, contented, healthy and developing normally within the classroom or early years setting, over time the observations can
Assignment 4 - Formal Classroom Observation A formal observation was conducted on a tenure history teacher, using the McRel Evaluation tool. Prior to the evaluation, the teacher met with the administrator to discuss the lesson objective and talk about the dynamics and make-up of the classroom. This classroom is a 9th grade inclusion classroom, consisting of a total of 21 students, ten with individual education programs. There are two teachers in the classroom, a general education teacher and a special
him. Today there are many theories on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but only one theory goes beyond them and into an even larger realm. The contents of this theory, known as the “multiverse” theory, suggest that humans on Earth live within one universe of many others that reside within a primordial vacuum containing many other universes (Jenkins and Perez). Each of these universes possesses potentially different natural constants and physical laws that govern them differently
Earth turns on itself, so that part of the Earth is kept lit by the sun, while another part remains 'dark '. A priori this may seem like a correct answer, but it is something that is too short. The universe does not end in the Sun, and the amount of additional stars who accompanies us in the universe is estimated at the not inconsiderable figure of 3.2 × 10 ^ 22 stars. Raised the dead of night, despite the seemingly obvious question, it is something that has a name in the scientific literature,
swapped with their evil counterparts due to a transporter mishap, and as a result, also enter a multiverse. These three instances illustrate how the multiverse has now become commonplace in science fiction allowing us to consider what is beyond observable reality. The multiverse is used not only in television shows, but also in films like The Wizard of Oz, Back to the Future, and Donnie Darko. It’s employed beyond the screen while remaining integral to science fiction literature that can range from
Are we alone in this universe? Is there anything out there besides us? Probably if you look at the facts and the evidence about our universe. According to NASA, based on data from the Kepler spacecraft there are 60 billion planets that could support life just in our Milky Way galaxy. Spacecraft's dedicated to finding life on other planets such as the Kepler Spacecraft and scientist astronomers at NASA are just some of the things used to gather so much evidence for life existing outside our planet
long-ago ancestors did, one can only get a small idea as to the size of the universe. A telescope allowed us to see further and expanded our understanding. Today's research goes even further, and greatly augments our knowledge of the universe. In fact, the universe is so big that no one knows exactly how big it is, because light simply cannot travel fast enough to illuminate it. Now, take that, our one infinitely big universe, and multiply it by infinity. Now, you have the idea of the multiverse, a
One of the most provocative mysteries of the Universe is whether or not we're alone. Our galaxy alone contains potentially hundreds of billions of planets. Let alone the other billions of galaxies in the observable Universe (Kerr, "Alone in the Universe"). Considering those numbers, it is very likely that we are not alone. You could even say it's arrogant to believe we are the only planet able to inhabit thriving life forms. Despite that you may not be able to see anything in the sky at this
From the excerpts of Galileo Galilei's Dialogue of Two Chief World Systems, there are three characters that discuss two different theories. One character, named Salviati, argues a heliocentric view of the motion within the universe which opposes the geocentric view that is supported by the character Simplicio. The third character, Sagredo, behaves as a mediator of the other two and represents someone who is neutral to as well as undecided between the two theories. During the time that The Dialogue
red planet? Outer space remains a natural wonder; a vast frontier in arms reach. Currently our observable universe spans over ninety five billion light years from end to end. Expanding at 152,112 mph/megaparsec the universe grows, quicker than we can comprehend. A discovery based on deep-field images from the Hubble Space Telescope suggests ten septillion planets lurk in our observable Universe, and that’s only counting planets that are orbiting stars. Mankind has always looked towards the
Contemporary Cosmology and Philosophy and the Beginning of the Universe ABSTRACT: Since the 1970s both in physics and cosmology, there has been a controversy on the subject of the ‘beginning of the universe.’ This indicates that this intriguing problem has reached scientific consideration and, perhaps, a solution. The aim of this paper is to try to answer the question as to whether the origin of the world has slipped out of the hands of philosophers (and theologians), and passed in its entirety
Heraclitus’ explanation of the universe was constant flux and opposition that explained everything that happened in nature. He uses a river as an example to explain that the water running is in opposition against the earth but this opposition creates the river, and even though the water in the river is never the same, it’s still a river. He also uses this observation in nature to justify the existence of strife and war because the need for justice and structure is created in accordance to that chaos
both theories ignore the laws of nature and these models are not observed in nature. No one has combined nonliving materials or breathed air into dirt to bring life into existence. We need theories that follow natural law, and references events observable in nature. To develop a theory that complements nature, we study nature and then extrapolate. The answer to how life comes into existence is neither a secret nor a mystery, life is everywhere on this planet, and we observe life every day.
Introduction Before diving into a discussion about the early universe, it is helpful to look at the observable properties of our present universe first. Modern cosmology is based on the cosmological principle, which states that on a sufficiently large scale of about 200 Mpc, the distribution of matter in the universe is homogeneous (the same everywhere) and isotropic (looks the same in all directions). The Universe is considered to be uniform with the same average density and pressure independent
Where is the universe from? Where is it going? How is it put together? How did it get to be this way. These are Big questions. Very easy to ask but almost impossible to answer. We want answers for philosophical reason having nothing to do with science. No one will get rich from discovering the structure of the universe unless they right a book about it. The area of science dealing with Big questions is called cosmology. The reason for it's study is found in the fact that: The universe was born at
Astronomers believed the Universe was created about 14 billion years ago. During that time, the entire Universe was inside a bubble that was thousands of times smaller than a pinhead, and it was insanely hot and dense. Out of nowhere this little bubble started expanding. This expansion created what we know as the Universe. In such little time the Universe went from the size of an atom to the ginormous galaxy we have that is continuously growing. According to the Big Bang Theory the universe appeared as a singularity
simple time telling device has sparked controversy about the creation of the universe. In William Paley’s “The Analogical Teleological Argument” he argues that the universe must have been created by a universe maker, God, due to its complexity. However, David Hume, provides an empiricist objection by arguing that one cannot prove the existence of a universe maker due to lack of experience regarding the creation of a universe. Ultimately, I will argue that Paley’s argument by design is not sufficient
plagues researchers involved in these areas of study. However, before people can even begin to really understand these ideas, they must first acquire a basic understanding of the nature and scope of the universe, at least as much is possible for the human mind. The cosmological scale of the universe is so much larger than we as human beings can hope to comprehend in an intuitive manner. To gain an appreciation of this scale, consider the following, the average human being is about 1.7 m
Which sounds like a lot but considering the age of the universe that is a blink of an eye. The galaxy should have been colonized many times over by now. According to this line of thinking, the Earth should already have been visited by extraterrestrial aliens though Fermi saw no convincing evidence of this, nor any signs of alien intelligence anywhere in the observable universe, leading him to ask, "Where is everybody?". The galaxy should have already been colonized
Science has came to this point where they can infer something about the entire universe. People have always wondered did the universe always exist how it is now. The Big Bang theory is what happen to the beginning of our universe. Astronomy and physics are trying to discover how the Big Bang theory happen. According to the theory, our universe sprang existence around 13.7 billion years ago. They really are not sure what happened. There are theories about a care of black holes. “Black holes are
