Science Autobiography
Science Autobiography Science, one of the many things that us as humans know so much about, yet know hardly anything about it. No matter what we already know and what we newly discover, science will always be an enigmatic subject to study. Science has always puzzled me. I was homeschooled from first grade up until my 11th grade year when I went to Westchester Country Day School in High Point, North Carolina. I don’t remember any science activities that I did before I entered high school, other than just doing some simple science experiments that involved natural science, electricity, and a little bit of simple chemistry was mixed in there.
When I entered freshman year of high school, I took an earth science course. This course required me …show more content…
This was by far one of my favorite science courses that I took throughout my high school career. Once again, I took a co-op class where a group of us met once a week and discussed our past week’s assignments and a part of that time we had together was dedicated to biology. For our first semester, we stuck strictly to the book. There were no physical experiments that we had to complete. We simply had to read and we took tests in class about what we learned. Honestly, this way of learning had no positive affect on me. While it wasn’t necessarily detrimental to what I thought of science, it got a little boring after doing the same thing every week. However, this all changed the second semester when we began to do dissections of different animals. This was purely fascinating to me to learn about all the different parts of a cows’ eyeball, a baby pig, and my personal favorite, a little shark. I learned so much from interacting with these labs and this was definitely the most fun with science I had ever …show more content…
I still think science is an amazing thing to learn and the great part about it is that there is always more to learn about it. There will always be something new to learn about any science, whether it be earth science or rocket science, it is an ever changing field. I am very thankful that four out of my five science courses had a positive influence on my view on science. I believe that if I was able to grasp chemistry a little better, it would be all five of my science courses that had a positive influence on me. I am very eager to learn more about science at the collegiate level and I am looking forward to seeing how science, technology, and society all work
