Science plays a large role in are everyday lives all around us. When observing controversy regarding different topics like tobacco and vaccines, lack of knowledge can cause controversy in many different scientific studies.

This shows the importance of understanding science in our society.

When referring to how we can help society as a whole better understand science, we could work on promoting different scientific studies as well as disclaiming and removing false and bias discoveries contributing to the misinformation provided to the public.
Science and The Public Experience
In this course we reviewed different ways science is incorporated into contemporary society. I really enjoyed the way multitude of hand on activities that helped me better understand the different ways science is connected. This class helped me further understand the basic principles of science and its relevance in everyday life. Personally one of my favorite assignments was the painting because it allowed me to open up a more creative side that isn't usually common with science projects.
I really like the graph that you placed in your blog! Demonstrating how to appeal to different ages about the importance of science. And I really liked how you talked about current issues due to the lack of knowledge in the science world.
ReplyDeleteI like how you inserted the funny visual kids vs. teenagers vs. adults vs. elderly. It catches the readers interest. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like how you split the post into three sections to really break down your experience with science. The teenage section on your picture is very accurate, too. The painting assignment we did in class was an interactive activity and visual aid I really enjoyed. Great post!
