Hello everyone! As future educators, what seems to be a common problem is getting students captivated in the subject we teach. I enjoy learning about science but I know everybody has their own interests. In my Intro to Research course that I took as an undergraduate, the first thing that my professor asked us in the beginning of class was what was our scientific itch? Basically, a scientific itch is a science related concept or topic that you are extremely curious about that you must further investigate in more detail. One of my scientific itches is the deep deep parts of the ocean. Did you know that we know more about outer space than we do the deep sea? That is pretty crazy!
So for this discussion, tell us what is your scientific itch/itches and why you are so interested in it.
Here is a link about our discoveries thus far of the deep sea:

ReplyDeleteHey Cathy,
ReplyDeleteDeep sea is fun, all the crazy fish down there are neat. Personally I like biology, but in particular I like how art and science interact. Drawing animals people requires knowledge of muscles and bones. I also like how good visuals make understanding science easier, like diagrams of biology structures and pathway models.
When I was younger, I actually wanted to be a marine biologist so I think part of me still has that passion about the ocean. The deep sea does indeed have some pretty awesome creatures down there. I am dying to see what else marine biologists can discover! I have not thought about art and science interacting. I use to draw when I was younger too so I completely agree that great visuals can aid in comprehending science concepts better. I cannot stress how those visuals helped with specific pathways in biology. Learning processes like translation and transcription could not have been done without proper illustrations.
