Many philosophers and scientists wrote works based on the Geocentric model. The understanding that the Earth being the center of the universe began to change as scientists (Copernicus‚ Galileo and Kepler) researched‚ used mathematics and physics. The findings of there work led to the belief that the Sun was the center of the Universe

INT1 Task 3 The Popcorn Experiment Skye McDonald-George Project Plan and Problem Statement In this project I will be testing whether or not popcorn yields a higher percentage of popped kernels when frozen. This is relevant because most people would like to get the best value out of items they purchased and this may demonstrate one way to do that. I will be freezing multiple bags of popcorn and then popping both frozen and unfrozen bags in the microwave. Finally I will count the popped and unpopped

11/2011 INT1 Task 3 Does freezing popcorn yield more popcorn? Project Design Plan. This scientific experiment is to gauge the amount of kernels popped when the storage temperatures of the kernels are changed. Does freezing popcorn kernels for 24 hours yield more or less popped kernels than popcorn kernels stored at room temperature? By performing this experiment we can decide how to maximize our food potential. We will purchase six

How Natural Science And Arts Made Progress Philosophy Essay Everyday in our life‚ we will learn something new either we realize or not. We gain the knowledge through our own experiences as well as other people’s experiences. From those experiences‚ we learn which are right or wrong. When we get the knowledge‚ how can we recognise when we have made progress in the search for knowledge? This essay will be discussed two areas of knowledge‚ Arts and Natural Science.
