Editorial Review :
4 years & up. Keep your creature for a short time, then let it go. This bug viewer allows children to see the bug two ways, from the top or from the side. It is watertight, so children can view tadpoles or small fish. The peeper is escape proof and won't break or tip over. Great for show and tell. Comes with a beetle replica.

Questions & Answers
Question : Science...?
I need to know some ways to change the viscosity of a liquid. I already have temperature, which is an obvious one. There are no sites that help me and I need more then one way. Please help!(grade 8 science)
Answer:
Besides temperature, concentration, and dilution, you could cause a chemical change and form a colloid, or cause a change in the molecular structure of organic molecules.

Question : How can we raise science literacy in the United States?
It's purely antecdotal but it feels like the amount of science literacy has gotten worse in recent years. What can we do to reverse that trend? Should we throw money at it? Give incentives to schools that do well in science? Make the standardized tests harder? More scholarships for science majors? Start a new PR campaign that makes science cool? Have the government appoint someone as a Science Ambassador? What do you think would work best?
Answer:
Science, below the college level at least, is usually taught as a series of facts instead of a process, and kids don't get much, if any, exposure to how to DO science. That needs to change, but it won't as long as the schools have to prepare for standardized tests that test your memorization of facts, not your actual understanding.

Question : Does Science really provide a sufficient and adequate information in explaining such phenomena?
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.
Answer:
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.

Question : SCIENCE?????????????????????????????????
gahhhh i hate science!anyway, we have to find manuplitive and responding variblies for my question. My question is how many of the barn owls prey are herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores. I neeeeeeeed help.btw, this is 6th grade Advanced Science.and please, no rude comments... i really need help.
Answer:
I'm not sure from the description you've given of your question whether it has any manipulative or responding variables.Here are some links which give examples of experiments which do have manipulative / responding (or sometimes called dependent / independent) variables.http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_variables.shtmlhttp://www.ncsu .edu/labwrite/po/independentvar.htmhttp://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:J6gi3jJwNb8J:user.fsd1. org/MeganAMoore/Extra%2520Practice/Process%2520Skills/Variable%2520practice%2520ANSWERS.docIn your case, you have a barn owl and some prey which might be herbivore, omnivore or carnivore, but I can't see what the 'cause and effect' you're trying to measure could be.If your question was something like "Does an owls size depend on its prey" then you could say the manipulative variable would be the prey (look for types of owls with different prey) and the responding variable is the owl's size (are they different sizes when the prey is different?).Can you see how that's different to your question? I think the way your question is worded makes it sound like a 'survey' rather than an 'experiment' question, which is probably why you're finding it difficult to identify the variables.Hope that helps.

Question : How does science affect the understanding of humans and society?
I'm writing an essay on how literature and science affect the understanding of humanity and society. I've got the literature part down pretty well, but I am absolutely stuck on the science part. I have to choose either between natural sciences or human sciences and relate it to reason, but I don't have any specific examples. Can you give me a few?
Answer:
How science affects the understanding of humans and humanity is it can provide evidence to question the assumptions about war. The type of war fought by steel tanks and with steel guns could be countered by use of materials found in magnets if what understand from an elementary science class is correct. the united nations charter of rights and constitutions of world as electronic protections against electronic equipped missiles also serve.now I understand you might think answer poor like one asker of another simlar question thought.

Question : What is more important; science or a temperament and attitude towards science?
What is more important to the self; science or a temprament and attitude of science in self.Is there any science which can help the self to enable and empower itself with knowledge and wisdom of self to enable and empower the self with an attitude and a temprament of science.What is this science; where can it be known and studied; how can it be practised. Can this science also help the self to enable and empower itself with knowledge and wisdom of any type and kind.Can we also use this science to help ourselves for enabling and empowering ourselves with that knowledge and wisdom which had been the cause, purpose, and reason of the existance, presence and working of self and the religion and god of self.
Answer:
It's either way too early in the morning for me to comprehend what you just typed, or it's utter gibberish."Is there any science which can help the self to enable and empower itself with knowledge and wisdom of self to enable and empower the self with an attitude and a temprament of science.Can this science also help the self to enable and empower itself with knowledge and wisdom of any type and kind."This hurts my head.

Question : No science background but want to start learning about science for my future. Is it too late?
I have limited science knowledge, currently studying economic in University. I would like to become a dermatologist to help others with their skin problems. Is it too late to start studying science, then apply for med school?
Answer:
No, it's never too late. There are people in their late 30s and early 40s that start taking medical school prerequisites and apply to medical school, even.Most medical schools are looking for the following prerequisite courses:1 year of biology with labs (6 in-class credits, 2 credits of lab)1 year of general chemistry with labs (6 in-class credits, 2 credits of lab)1 year of organic chemistry with labs (6 in-class credits, 2 credits of lab)1 year of physics with labs (6 in-class credits, 2 credits of lab)1 semester of statistics (You've probably got this covered as you're an economics major)Calculus 1 may also be required, but it really isn't that different from business calculus, which you've probably already taken.So, as a maximum (excluding statistics, since I'm assuming you already have that), you would need to take a total of 36 credits to fulfill the medical school pre-requisites. That's about 2 full-time semesters of coursework. You'll also need to take the MCAT (and study like crazy for it), but a lot of the content will be covered in the pre-requisite science courses you take anyway.

Question : What science careers incorporate knowledge of foreign languages?
I'm looking at colleges and wondering what to major in. I'm very interested in science (specifically biology, genetics, chemistry, and astronomy, but science in general as well), and I've been studying Spanish and French. I'd like to pursue these topics in college, but I'm not sure what practicality they'll have together in terms of future jobs. Are there any science careers that require or can benefit from a knowledge of multiple languages, and if so, which are they?
Answer:
Pharmaceutical sales representative.Biologist, especially if you work for government or non-profit.Almost any doctor, our world is becoming multilingual.Traveling Geologist, for instance, lets say you visit the middle east to dig up some dinosaur bones.Chemist, if you work in the chemical engineering field you may have to take some trips to china, japan, russia, europe, etc.

Question : sCience!!!!!!?
give me prof that scientific laws can change!
Answer:
Newtonian physics gave a very good model of motion mechanics, dynamics, until the speed of light was approached. Newton's laws are now considered approximations and have been added to by Einstein's model that accounts for near light speed, relativistic dynamics.The early models accounted for limits known at the time they were developed. Later modifications added to the earlier equations rather than replaced them. Newton proposed three laws. The second law, force = mass x acceleration, was not limited. However velocity does not increase infinitely.Newton - Force = rate of change of momentumEinstein - Force = (rate of change of mass) cWhere c = speed of light.
