Autobiography
Science is a subject where a lot of students dislike it and a lot that enjoy it. I am a student that enjoys it. For as long as I remember, I have always enjoyed science. My first real science class was in sixth grade. My teacher was very good at giving demonstrations and letting us do many hands on experiments. Some of his best lessons were when he would give a demonstration and then let us try and figure out what caused it. This just furthered my interest in science. Every year after that science was my best subject. Also, by this time I started to think that a career in science could be a possible future. Around eighth grade I started to do research on careers that had to do with science. In high school I took some type of science class

Also I joined a biology club. My favorite class in high school was zoology. We looked at many different animals and also got to work with real specimens. During this time I thought that zoology could be in my future. In the biology club we did many things outside of school. My favorite was testing the water in the local river. We collected many insects and water organisms and determined how clean or dirty the river was. I really enjoyed being outside gathering data and then finding results from that data. Continuing my research in what I was going to do after graduation I found out that Northern had zoology as a major. Zoology was always my main science interest ever since the class I took in high school. Once I got to Northern and took some classes in biology and zoology, I started to second guess myself. Finding out that zoology was for me was kind of hard because it was something that I thought I wanted to study. But now I am an Elementary Education Integrated Science major and I couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to bring my knowledge of science into
Bill Nye the science guy uses the “finding Humor” habitat of mind and creating, innovating, and illuminating. He finds creative ways to teach such as music videos and funny clips. He makes the learning instead of boring fun and kids rather fun learning the basic facts. He achieved a goal by being creative and finding humor. One other thing he does well is communicating with clarity and precision. Bill Nye shows he can do this because of his impact on kids, he communicates very well, which allows his audience to understand him. His teachings help the children of today learn about science and he did that by thinking of a creative way to teach science and along with it be
A substantial part of the enjoyment that will come from pursuing a STEM degree is knowing it is something that I have always wanted to do since I was a young girl. When I was about 10 years old, I started to watch the Discovery Channel on television. These shows captured my attention and my love for science, and ultimately led me to want to pursue a career in the science field. Then, when I was a freshman in high school, I realized my true love of science from honors Biology and being introduced to the microscope. Now, three years later as a senior in high school, I am continuing my love of science by taking AP Biology. Throughout my life, my experiences have only strengthened my love and enjoyment in this field.
When he was asked what advice he would give to someone entering this field, he replied that some days will be trying, and some students may test your patience at times, but the outcomes and rewards are completely worth it. Being a science teacher can be tricky, but he loves the job, the challenges, the rewards, and his
In the degree that I am seeking I know there will be a lot of science to take. Science has always come natural to me, possibly because you can actually see the product and touch it. I plan to become a veterinarian not just for the love of animals but for the science and knowledge also. The dissecting of animals has always been interesting to me. It is a whole new world that I can wait to explore even more. It is amazing how God made living creatures. I just want to help keep them form getting sick and doctoring them when they do.
Not everybody loves Biology,.. either do I. I always terrify at those subjects. They are difficult, dry, bloody, and involved to a lot of memorization. A side from that there are tons of reasons that hold me back from becoming a nurse. I don’t like the subjects, I am scared of blood. Despite all of that, I found that it is challenging.When I was in 11th grade I had the passion for chemistry. I like doing all the labs, observing chemical reactions, and combine or calculate the percentage of substances. I always think that chemistry is the most excited class I have ever took besides math, and foreign language.
When I was younger I always found myself interested in science of all varieties. In elementary school, I aspired to be a scientist, but I was not sure what career path to take. In 10th grade, I found myself in Pre-AP Biology thinking that biology, although fascinating and complex, made perfect sense to me. I took AP Biology during my Junior year and felt that same pull. I loved biology and was certain that I wanted to study biology in college. My big question was what could I possibly do with a Biology degree.
I have always been fascinated with science-oriented interests. I remember being young and intrigued by the complexity of the human body. As I grew, puzzles and critical thinking became essential to my learning process.
As a child in middle school, I started thrusting myself in my academic career. I joined Science Olympiad, in which students compete in different sciences. I competed in events such as astronomy or anatomy and from this point on the passion for science grew. When I entered high school, I continued my career with Science Olympiad, but decided I needed to broaden my perspective. There had to be more than science olympiad, a whole new field that would let me practice and see science working at one of it's best.
two semesters of science, which changed my life. In my junior year I changed my major to
I knew I wanted to pursue science, but I wanted to help people as well. I wanted to help people who couldn’t help themselves. I wanted to help those less who didn’t have my luck in the world. During my senior year in high school I helped at the Vannie Cook Hematology Center, seeing those kids made me realize that I could help them. I was aware that I could grow up to change their life. There I realized- I knew I wanted to make a difference for those people, and people who suffer similar faiths. My junior year I changed my cluster to Health Sciences. I never changed it again. In fact, on the next 10 years, I hope to attend Medical
Science became my favorite subject. I developed a love for learning about science including everything from environmental studies, to genetics, to anatomy, to astronomy, etc. When I started my first semester at Harford Community College in the Fall of 2014, I set out for a job in a veterinary clinic. I needed more clinical experience to eventually get into vet school. I had heard about the Veterinary Assistant program at HCC and wondered if that would be a program worth pursuing.
I am one of the very few select in high school who opting for a Career choice has been effortless. As a young ,curious minded girl, I have always obtained a passion for medicine and animals. When I stumbled upon the veterinary field I knew exactly what I was going to do. In high school I was introduced to many other career paths such as infectious disease , cardiology, neurology and many more gratifying jobs but none of them involved animals. I desired a job which involved animal conservation as well as medicine. At first, I had a different notion about Zoology. I believed a Zoologist only takes care of animals in Zoo's. It later on in Life came to my knowledge that Zoological medicine is a specialty in veterinary medicine that addresses wildlife
Chemistry and environmental science were some of my favorite kinds of science. Once I moved on from primary grades, I did not have as much experience was taking science courses. The only science course I had to take where ones that were based in education and slightly different than other science classes I had taken. I enjoyed the classes more because they were taught through more of an education
However, after learning biology from my senior high school, I interested in science more than before. Having the background biological knowledge of cells, organs, and systems, I started to do research on specific animals as I was curious about how animals survive with their different systems. I chose Animals Sciences as my major after I was accepted by South China Agricultural University (SCAU). SCAU has the best animal science program in southern China.
...o listen carefully to ensure that kids are discussing scientific ideas, not socializing. The teacher's role is to ensure that students achieve their primary goal: meaningful understanding of scientific concepts. The practices described in this article help bring this about in several ways. When instruction centers on students and focuses on hands-on experience with scientific phenomena, science class becomes an exciting place. When instruction concentrates on the investigation of current problems and issues through scientific inquiry, science class becomes a relevant and meaningful place. When instruction emphasizes the development of communication skills, science class becomes an invaluable place for preparing children to tackle the challenges of adulthood. And the education community owes it to its students to assess their academic progress fairly and accurately.
