The purpose of this assignment is to encourage students to think about the many characteristics of science, and to relate the characteristics of science to a different discipline they are interested in. Students will watch three TED Talks and use specific ideas from these talks to develop an explanation of the nature of science. Students will be able to develop an explanation of the nature of science by describing three of its characteristics, use resources such as TED Talks to support their reasoning, apply these characteristics to their own discipline of interest in order to draw connections between science and other fields, and pose a question that scientists and professionals in other disciplines can work together to answer. This assignment should be written as a paper (i.e. in paragraph form), should be at least 750 words (excluding references), and DOUBLE-SPACED. You do not need to repeat the instructions in the assignment. You will watch three of the TED Talks from the list below. While watching the talks you selected, select specific ideas from the talk that characterize science. Synthesize the ideas that you identified in the talks with what you have learned in class to develop an explanation of the nature of science. You must choose three different characteristics of science, each supported by at least one of the TED talks you watched, to support your explanation of the nature of science. Some examples of characteristics could be: science relies on observation, science is innovative, science brings cultures together, etc… (see link below for more examples). https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/412-describing-the-nature-of-science Your explanation must be supported by plausible and logical ideas that are capable of being disproven or “falsified” to describe each of your chosen characteristics of science. For example, you cannot say “one characteristic of the nature of science is that science requires imagination/creativity because it is God that created all living organisms, not evolution, and science goes against this fact”, because this idea cannot be supported by ideas and explanations that are capable of being disproven or rationalized with physical evidence. Additionally, you will compare and contrast each characteristic from your explanation of the nature of science to the characteristics of the nature of a discipline that interests you, and speculate on the types of questions people in these fields can work together to answer.
