MY REFLECTION

During our first semester, I learned a lot that related to biology. I


learned that evolution is the theory that holds biology together. It
explains why there is unity and diversity in life. It explains how and
why different biological systems came to be. And even in modern
applications, it is incorporated in many applications, such as in
animal breeding, or in creating vaccines.
According to our science teacher,google and other source the earth
formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. I learned about the Law
of conservation of energy which is states that energy is neither loss
nor gained, only conserved. Or teacher expanded on that concept
because the earth has changed over its life time, but it still has the
same amount of energy. For example, the earth used to be a ball of
magma--thermal energy; over time the magma cooled, and the
crust formed as a result. The energy from the previous phase was
converted into the system, thus cooling down the earth much like
an endothermic reaction. Chemistry also comes into play here
because in an endothermic reaction, energy is put into the system
from the environment, thus lowering the temperature. Since heat
is energy, the earth simply converted it into another form to set the
stage for organisms to inhabit the eventually inhabit the earth.
Seeing the documentary with my background knowledge in science
allowed me to apply the concepts that I learned.
I learned several thing that also related about the different types of
volcano,stress and etc.. Even dedicating one quarter to learning
about evolution was not enough. Even after first quarter, evolution
is still discussed in Life Science. Through the various activities we
did, I learned more and more about evolution, like how different
organisms are specially adapted to different environments,
evolutionary explanations to the features present in different
organisms, and the frequency of different genes in the Pisay
population. In fact, I learned that in my first year clique, all of us
except for one had attached ears.
Not only did I learn things about evolution, but I also learned more
about the process of learning. One should learn how to appreciate
what he is learning. One should also learn how to be patient when
trying to understand things. One should also try to learn by
themselves if he wants to know more, because knowledge is not
served on a silver platter.

REFLECTION
I learned a lot about earth and life science but for me the best topic is
all about atmosphere .The atmosphere is practically everything above
the Earth surface. It starts at ground level and then just goes on
upward, getting thinner and colder until it finally dissolves into space.
The atmosphere makes our world livable. It is responsible for winds,
weather, temperature and a lot more features that make the Earth
different than other planets. Without it, the Earth would be more like
the moon. From a general point of view, the atmospheres composition
seems simple. It contains oxygen produced...

Earth Science Vocab Unit 4 Celestial Objects-A natural object which is


located outside of Earth's atmosphere, such as the Moon, the Sun, an
asteroid, planet, or a star. Arc- a continuous portion of a circle
Constellation-A group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is
traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a
mythological figure

Earth Science is an all-embracing term for the sciences related to the


planet Earth. It is arguably a special case in planetary science, the Earth
being the only known life-bearing planet. There are both reductionist
and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth
sciences may include the study of the atmosphere, hydrosphere,
oceans and biosphere, as well as the solid earth. Typically, Earth
scientists will use tools from physics, chemistry, biology, chronology
and mathematics to build a quantitative understanding of how the
Earth system works, and how it evolved to its current state.
Environmental science is a multidisciplinary academic field that
integrates physical and biological sciences, to the study of the
environment, and the solution of environmental problems.
Environmental science provides an integrated, quantitative, and
interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems.

Lastly, I gained a new perspective in life. During my elementary years, I


studied in a Catholic school. Even though they taught evolution
alongside creationism, evolution was taught in a way that made it look
like a side topic of biology. When evolution was taught in 2nd year
biology, I first taught it was gonna be a fast topic because that was my
experience in the elementary years. But soon I learned how evolution is
one of the most important theories in biology. In Life Science, evolution
became even more interesting because of all the activities we did.
Learning more about evolution did not change my belief in God, but it
did give me a new perspective in life.
