Kirsch 95 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 why? "It never gets old, huh?" "Nope." "It kinda makes you want to-" "Break into a song?" "Yup." I love the mountains. I love the clear blue sky. I love big bridges. I love it when big whites fly. I love the whole world, And all its sights and sounds. *chorus* You are not going to make me type all of it >.< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moonlit Flower 12 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 I remember having Science back in Middle School. Science was my most favorite class, and to tell the truth my least favorite would have to be Art class. I love drawing, but I can't stand art classes due to having some personal problems associated with each of the art classes I have been in so far these past 4 years of my school life. I'd rather draw by myself, and in a rather empty and quiet place.  I did have Biology during my sophmore year of highschool, and I did get good grades, and enjoyed participating in the projects and labs that they assigned. Also, the lessons and note taking was very interesting.  As for my Junior year, well, I have ICP (Integrated Chemistry Physics), It's not the same as Science or Biology, but besides the math and formulas we learn, we do sometimes learn about matter and the force of gravity, which is a few things related to Science. At first, I dreaded that class due to the math being soo hard and frustrating, but now, I kinda understand it, and the class is quite interesting.

Wow, that's a lot of science O.oI'll reply to you later when I get the time to check my science curriculum and compare it to yours... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenzi 146 Report post Posted November 30, 2014 Haha, my physics teacher would always criticize chemistry by stating "chemistry is only the physics of atoms"  But by the looks of it, your guys's science curriculum differs a lot more than ours. Ours is pretty straight forward, and without the incorporation of other subjects So it would look something like this: Bio A → GBBE → Bio AP Physics → Physics B or C AP Chemistry → Chem AP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, they mentioned about people choosing a STEM subject to specialize in during high school, so I'm pretty sure that would take from some of the other courses.

They were trying to prove the effect of hot/coldness of a material on its speed or whatever. Just... No. 4th grade was pretty good though. Our science teacher literally just gave us a battery, some wires, and a lightbulb, and told us to make a circuit without telling us anything else.

Middle of the article: "Nasa's update read: 'Since we have been receiving quite a bit of Facebook mail about this, I will answer you all here. Contrary to what you may have read or heard, Nasa has in no way issued any statement regarding three (or six) days of darkness in December due to a solar storm. All these rumours are absolutely false.'"  uhh, ok? so why did this person even bother writing the article?  Either way, I still believe that this is a load of bs. This is something that would have spread like wildfire if people actually believed it. In fact, I didn't even know it existed until I saw it posted here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a media psychology really. Make a title that will make person curious, even if it's misleading.   Well, the point of the article is to make people aware that the rumors are fake.  Who knows? There might be a guest visiting here thinking that it's real and he accidentally clicked my link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
