Week 1 Reflection                            Name: _Alexandra Guerrero___ _________________

Part I:

Reflect and write 100 or more words about the following prompt:

Based on what you know now, describe the types of people that do science. If possible, refer to specific scientists and what they tell you about the types of people that do science.

As a child, I grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy. He’s a mechanical engineer who teaches students through video about everyday science in life and critical thinking, explaining why things react in specific ways. He has sparked my curiosity over the years, but I don’t have extensive knowledge specific to scientists. I do know that one of the most famous scientists is Issac Newton, who gained an understanding and explanation of the laws of motion and gravity, forever changing the way we see science.

Part II:

Choose and write the number that reflects your level of agreement.

Reflect and write 100 or more words about your reflections on this statement and your level of agreement:

As I have learned so much from my first time in your class, I have realized that I don’t know science as well as I thought, and sadly, I know very little. Therefore, I can’t personally relate to it, but I will look for one that I can somehow relate to in some way. For the Science that I am passionate about, I would like to mention some personal connections with Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and her groundbreaking research on cancer treatment.
