Unit 1: What is Science?<br />
Student Presentations (Science is…)<br />
Prepare a 2-4 minute oral presentation that answers the question, "what is science?"<br />
Keep your opinion/thoughts as the focus. Do not provide a textbook definition.<br />
As you define science, please try to also answer the following questions:<br />
Is science good or bad?<br />
Of what use is science?<br />
Who does science?<br />
What, if anything, does science produce?<br />
After hearing the presentations, reflect on your answer. Has your opinion changed at all?<br />
It is highly recommended that you formalize your thoughts by putting them into your<br />
notebook. By writing such a reflection, you challenge your mind to think more deeply<br />
about the topic and you provide yourself with an invaluable resource for reviewing.<br />
