I am planning on transferring next year to Cal Poly Pomona to get a bachelors in animal health science to become a vet tech. Am I on the right track to getting it in animal health science rather than animal science?

ANIMAL SCIENCE:
Animal science is described as "studying the biology of animals that are under the control of mankind.At the University of Reading, for example, the study of animal science is concerned with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis is given to the study of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal productivity, health and welfare. Courses in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are offered. Degrees in Animal Science are offered at a number of Universities.
ANIMAL Health SCIENCE:
IT is the branch of Science that deals with the application of medical, surgical, public health, dental, diagnostic, and therapeutic principles to non-human animals, including wildlife and domesticated animals, including livestock, working animals, and companion animals. Practitioners of veterinary medicine are known as veterinarians. In most developed countries, veterinarians are highly qualified professionals with advanced Educations.

If I falsify something, haven’t I simply verified its converse? Isn’t this a sort of proof by contradiction that Science cannot verify, or falsify anything?

It seems to me that there is a strange asymmetry in logic that is assumed in science.
Please don’t confuse me with some Luddite and proclaim the virtues of science through technological achievement. If you do so, you are completely missing the point of my question.

Verification is for math and logic, not science. To pull a common statement from logic, "All men are mortal." To falsify this, you would "just" have to find a man who is immortal. To verify this, you would have to kill off everyone in the world to prove that everyone can die. Not very feasible, especially as you would have to include yourself.

I’m a soon-to-be US college graduate, and I’ve been thinking about the fact that many of the high-demand jobs out there (medicine, nursing, engineering) are very science-based.

However, I am getting out with a liberal arts degree, and even as a child I’d found science subjects to be immensely difficult. There was too much memorization, it seemed so arcane and boring, and required intense study for long long periods of time.

How can we make science easier for young people today?

This is how it goes in my school:
6th grade- Science in general
7th grade- Life Science
8th grade- Earth Science
9th grade- Physical Science
10th grade- Biology
11th grade- Chemistry
12th grade- None

Also, 9th grade takes Health.
I don’t know if that counts as a Science class.

6th-Earth Science
7th-Life Science
8th-Physical Science
9th-Chemistry
10th-Biology
11&12 are varying

Science provoked different laws, theories and observations about each and every phenomena and still continue to explain such phenomena that is beyond our knowledge…. Does Science really provide a sufficient and adequate information in explaining such phenomena?. If yes, justify your answer, If not, can you please discuss an example of a phenomena that science can’t really explain.

I get the impression that you don’t know what you’re asking. If science explains a phenomenon (phenomena is singlular; phenomena is plural), it is by definition not beyond our knowledge.

There are many phenomena that science has not satistfactorily explained. The expansion of the universe at an increasing rate is attributed to dark energy, but no one knows what dark energy is. Most of the matter in the universe is dark matter, but no one knows what dark matter is. It is still uncertain what gives subatomic particles their masses; the Higgs boson has been proposed as an explanation but has not yet been discovered. Relatively little is known about how the brain produces consciousness. There are still debates about the evolutionary basis of altruistic behavior. There are still debates about the existence of group selection. The origin of life is still largely unexplained, although progress has been made.

Science fair projects are meant to solve problems, not to show how something works. I’d like to do a science fair project in the category of engineering using my LEGO Mindstorms robotics kit. The judges at the science fair especially like Environmental projects, so I want to do an environmental engineering project. An example would be "What alternative energy source is the most efficient: water, wind, or geothermal?" Something like that would be good. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate to see them.

Put a solar panel on the robot. Use the controller for the robot to make it move around using the suns energy. Say this should be the use of energy for cars, making them run by electricity. If they ask about nighttime, give the example of a glow-in-the-dark magnet. It gathers the energy it needs during the day. uses it at night. Also use the example about the terrible oil spill in the gulf of mexico thats going on right now. Say that would be abolished if we were to use an alternative energy source for our cars and machines, aka the suns energy.Don’t know much about enviormental engineering, but I think this falls into that catagory. Not very original but good examples for it are here.

I’m starting the planning for a book that’s targeted at kids in 5th-6th grade, and could be used as a classroom science supplement/science guide.
So any parents out there who help their kids with science Homework, or actual kids what subjects should I try to focus on?

This website has lots of topics and learning resources for Science. It is UK based, but I think it will be a good starting place if you are if the USA too.

Science is Dead

I’ve just finished reading a few articles involving science teaching and felt compelled to write exactly how I feel about the status of the subject as it is today in New Zealand and possibly the world. I’ll probably be labelled a male chauvinist but facts is facts! Because I’m ‘old’ I can say, “When I was young….,” and get away with it.

For my first formal exam in the sciences I remember learning by rote hundreds and hundreds of diagrams and hundreds and hundreds of formula etc in order to pass with a reasonable mark. I crammed all this information into my brain in order to regurgitate in the form of answers to this National Exam.

The exam was divided up into two parts. The first was a quick 20 short answer questions. They didn’t have multi-choice; you just had to know the answer. The second was made up of four long answer questions that you chose from a battery of six. Each was worth 20 marks the same as the short answer questions making 100%

In order to answer these four long answer questions I had committed to memory the entire year’s work from A to Z along with all the diagrams and passed with a mark of 88%.

Now to the point I’m trying to make. All of my science teachers were men. Every one of them was a science graduate and taught nothing else but science. They knew their stuff and they spent the whole lesson imparting their specialised knowledge to me (and anyone else who would listen). Fifty years later I still have that body of knowledge firmly fixed in my head and am able to call on it at any given time. You might ask of what use is that?  Literary people will tell you that in order to think you need a vocabulary and so it is with science. Before you can solve the world’s problems or design a Middle School Science Project you need to have some “vocabulary” of science.

You cannot expect children to tackle the intricacies of technology unless they have some background knowledge of science. I have watched the “Discovery Learning” method of teaching come and go. The only children who actually learnt from this were those in the upper classes who had a fabulous vocabulary and a family of clued-up parents. The less academic had absolutely no idea what to do or even where to start.

I’ll give you an example. I asked each different class to list for me the adaptive features of a mosquito wriggler. I had brought along a jar full that morning. I even put one on the overhead projector so it was enlarged on the screen. After half an hour of struggle to even get them to see that it didn’t breathe under water I tried the “Guided Discovery” approach and what a difference it made.

I was able to get many, many concepts across to the students I taught because I had an in-depth knowledge behind me. Even when I got it wrong in front of the class, nothing fazed me. I admitted the mistakes and we just looked harder at why it happened that way (intellectual honesty).

Many schools in New Zealand, and I would imagine all over the world now, are full of women teachers. This is for a number of reasons that I won’t even attempt to explain at this time. Just believe me they are. I remember these women who accompanied me through my teachers’ training school years. They were the ones who handed in huge assignments to the lecturers that were full of butterflies around the edges; large, elaborate headings, in large folders composed of hand-made recycled paper. Embedded in these ‘Science’ plans were tangents that went from the central theme of Butterflies to: a butterfly dance; an art lesson on butterfly wings; children’s songs about butterflies; fairy stories involving butterflies and a PE lesson on flapping their wings like butterflies.

This attitude and approach to science has absolutely pervaded our classrooms. The children do so many other options around the periphery of the main theme that the topic of “The Life Cycle and Adaptive Features of a Butterfly” actually disappear. The actual science is forgotten.

Another disturbing development of our so-called science programmes is that women teachers tend to stick to the Earth Science topics and only pay lip-service to the Physical and Chemical Sciences.

The sooner we get back to actually teaching science as pure subject, that is allowed to stand on its own, the better for our children.

Hi, I am currently computer Science major in college. I am looking for a job that does not require a computer science degree but in the field of IT. I would like to gain experience before I graduate. I’ve been looking for a job in IT field but most of the jobs requires computer science or Information technology degree. What would be good job for me? What certificate might be easy to get to get these jobs?

Why don’t you do a summer internship (or even take a semester off for an internship)? I’m currently employing an intern who has about a year and a half of comp sci. He worked last semester and is working this summer. He’ll go back to school in the Fall with a lot of experience that will help him get through his classes a lot easier.
