When I boarded on this journey as a student majoring in marine biology‚ I have always been fascinated by ocean exploration and how new scientific discoveries have revolutionized around it. I also live with great enthusiasm for conducting oceanic research‚ and I have always envisioned myself using scientific instruments and modern day technologies to conduct such research.

or cell doctrine‚ states that all organisms are composed of similar units of organization‚ called cells. The concept was formally articulated in 1839 by Schleiden & Schwann and has remained as the foundation of modern biology. The idea predates other great paradigms of biology including Darwin’s theory of evolution (1859)‚ Mendel’s laws of inheritance (1865)‚ and the establishment of comparative biochemistry (1940).

FOUR PLANES OF DEVELOPMENT What is development? It is a creation of an adult by a young child. Development refers to change that is irreversible. It is necessary and represents progress. It is a movement towards maturity and ready to create another generation. In animals the period of development happens in a very short span of time. Humans have the longest childhood; they live in a complex environment to which they take a lot of time to adapt. The Childs life is a complex society

Introduction:Piaget believed that there were four main stages in which children pass during cognitive development. The sensorimotor stage lasts for the first two years of a child ’s life‚ and learning primarily occurs through their senses. The child will also develop object permanence.

In this stage‚ a child develops the ability to decentre‚ and conservation will follow this development. The
