Today in Science Methods we discussed the importance of science in the classroom. We talked about how theory has a different meaning in science than it does outside of science. Theories include: scientific claims, evidence, hypothesis, and facts. Our class seemed to be a little misled by what a theory was, but we had our questions answered through the PowerPoint presentation.
We did an activity in class with one cylinder vase and one spherical vase. Each vase contained Hershey's kisses and we were supposed to guess if the vases contained the same or different amounts of kisses. The class thought that they were the same, but we learned that the spherical vase actually contained more chocolate.
The last topic of the day was a tutorial on Desire2Learn (D2L). A lot of us were having troubles or misunderstandings concerning D2L and the tutorial really seemed to help.
Overall, I learned quite a bit of information in today's Science Methods class.
