NOTE: YOUR ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS BELOW MUST CONVINCE ME THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE POSTED SAAWOK EXERCISE! POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ONLY FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OR OTHER SOURCES.
INSTRUCTIONS: As you work through the Science as a Way of Knowing exercise posted on BB, Complete the following two activities.
1. Answer the questions imbedded in the on-line exercise. You can re-do the exercise up to 10 times. Your score will automatically appear in BB.
2. IN YOUR OWN WORDS – answer the questions in the worksheet below. The worksheet part of this assignment should be done while reading through the exercise. What is meant by “in your own words?” – If you simply copy phrases or sentences from the exercise or other resources, …show more content…
Referring to current events – identify a recent discovery coming from what would be categorized as BASIC research, and a recent discovery that would be categorized as APPLIED. EXPLAIN WHY THE EXAMPLES YOU SELECTED FIT THESE CATEGORIES. Cite your sources. (DO NOT USE EXAMPLES DIRECTLY FROM COURSE MATERIALS)
A recent discovery that would be basic research is the push for more support and recent for the American Society for Cell Biology. As of right now, the research questions that are being addressed will not benefit the science community, yet. They are still trying to get the support to answer basic questions, so later on their research will help scientists find more answers to continue and develop cell biology when it turns into applied research. http://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/38675/title/Building-Support-for-Basic-Research/ An example of applied research would be the Corrosion Cell Kit. This was put together from basic research. They took the basic research further and turned it into something that would evolve cell kits and benefit the science community. This kit allows you to test specimens in corrosive
