According to what we covered in class, those who are more curious and like to wonder how things work—whether they be in physics, chemistry, biology, or even astrology—tend to pursue careers in the scientific domain. These individuals prefer to question everything, and as a result, they frequently come up with ideas for experiments and tests that might be used to clarify phenomena. Additionally, based on the assignment we completed at the end of class, I’ve discovered that the majority of scientists in textbooks are typically white men, which means that while there are a few diverse sciences sprinkled in.
I strongly disagree that there is a scientist to whom I can personally relate based on my observations over the course of my 19 years on Earth. While I do occasionally question things, I tend to go with the flow rather than stop and consider theories. I do occasionally question things instead of taking things at face value and acting on them. For this reason, I say that there isn’t a particular scientist to whom I can personally relate because they are typically more curious and driven by those curiosity.
Since science is usually more hands-on and tends to help me learn things better, I am somewhat interested in learning more about it this year.
I agree that there are science-related issues that will peak my interest because there isn’t a clear definition of what defines science, therefore technically there are a lot of topics that I would find interesting that would fall under the umbrella of science.
I agree that I will enjoy studying about science since, as I’ve already mentioned, it’s difficult to define science, which means a wide range of topics could come under its umbrella. As a result, there is a greater likelihood that I will find learning about science to be enjoyable.
