What science degree do I need to become a science teacher in the UK?

Ok I was thinking about geology but I know that there isn’t a great deal of geology that is taught in KS3/4. Can I still get a geology degree and become a science teacher? If not, will geoscience, earth science or environmental science do?

Not sure about geology, but geoscience/earth science/environmental science will all allow you to be a science teacher.
Please don’t choose your degree on this basis though. Choose one you’ll enjoy, you might not want to teach in 3 years time.

Why do atheists believe that revelation and science contradict each other?

Revelation and science do not, and cannot, contradict each other, for both are of God.

There may at times be an apparent conflict between faith and science; but this is only apparent, and never real. God cannot contradict Himself. He cannot lead us into error.

True Science is the handmaid of Religion. Science and the scientific method are means of arriving at the truth, and Religion is Truth. The greatest scientists have been Christians; a majority of outstanding leaders in science were Catholics, and many were priests. Only the shallow dabblers in science absurdly pretend that there is a conflict. The apparent conflicts arise from false interpretations, as when one … Read the rest

how important is a strong science education to indian parents ?

science allows you to do very real world things. very practical things.

unlike opinion, which is only good for conversation.

What are different college classes that you can take in Science?

I know that college classes are different that just the basic ones that you take in high school. In college what would "science" be called? What are some science classes that focus on mainly different sicknesses and diseases? Like how they spread and stuff. Also what is a science class you can take on the environment?

If you don’t really know that’s fine just tell me science classes that sound really impressive.

Also if you have a master degree in science, what is that called? Because you wouldn’t say that you have a masters degree in science would you?

Basically, physical and biological sciences are the two main categories. However, … Read the rest

How can I get into science without good mathematics skills?

I have a passion for science, and I would love to work in some sort scientific field when I grow up. There’s only one issue, and it’s a big one – I am terrible at maths. Are there any careers in science, or related to science, which don’t require great maths skills? I am particularly interested in Biology, Chemistry, Evolution, and Genetics.

Unfortunately, math is highly integrated with the sciences. Can you get a tutor? If you really can not do math at all, your career as a scientist is over. Without math you are actually dangerous at data collection, analysis, clinical work, etc.

What are your opinions on science and faith?

One of the worlds worst disasters is religion. Everyone has their own beliefs and each person believes they are right. How do you know your right? Science is the most reliable source to depend on because it bases everything on hypothesis and finding the conclusion and proof of something. Science hasn’t proven any religion yet. So how do you know for sure your religion is right? Sure we have books that explain the way everything was created, but how can we understand the books? Certain words could have meant something different in the old days and those people that believe they know whats right, could be wrong. So what are … Read the rest

Whats the difference between computer science and computer informations systems?

What is the difference between a bachelors of science in computer science and a bachelor’s of science in computer information systems? Which has more job opportunities and better pay? Which one will help me gain more skills in computers?

Computer science is by far the better choice. You’ll learn a lot about programming, computer architecture, and even a little bit about hardware. With such a degree you could work for a software or hardware giant designing new computers and applications.

Information systems deals mostly with installing and maintaining business networks (i.e., being a IT service tech).

Is there a unique method to citing science references for a science lab report?

I want to make sure that I am citing my science resources correctly. Is there a specific way to cite for a science report or is traditional citing acceptable? I am a sophomore in an an honors science class.

Thanks.

You usually use the method of citing used in professional journals (pull out a science journal & look & copy the manner of the reference citing); it is a bit different from traditional reference citing.

What science course will I need to take for grade 12 to become a psychologist?

I hate science, like chemistry etc. But I would’ve thought that I would need to do a biology course for my HSC to get into psychology in university.
Is that right? If not what type of course will I need to take for science?
Also I only want to do general psychology, not social or biological etc.
Ah, @flingebunt I was planning of doing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, so it’s good to know that it minimizes the science involved.

There are actually 2 branches of psychology in many universities (though some only have one, the major universities in Australia both have 2). There is Psychology in the Science … Read the rest

What type of science is this and are there any good books on it?

I want to learn about things like quarks, positrons and stuff like sub-atomic particles. But I also want to learn about things like chemical structures. What type of science should I study and are there any good books about this type of science?

That’s atomic and nuclear physics and chemistry, also particle physics. So physics is the way to go here. I don’t know many popular books on particle physics, but there’s a bit of it in Weinberg’s ‘The First Three Minutes’ and Green’s ‘The Elegant Universe’.

What science careers incorporate knowledge of foreign languages?

I’m looking at colleges and wondering what to major in. I’m very interested in science (specifically biology, genetics, chemistry, and astronomy, but science in general as well), and I’ve been studying Spanish and French. I’d like to pursue these topics in college, but I’m not sure what practicality they’ll have together in terms of future jobs. Are there any science careers that require or can benefit from a knowledge of multiple languages, and if so, which are they?

What good has come from the advances in science?

What good has come from the advances in science? Why is science so dangerous? Do you think that science should move forward without concern of moral implications? Do you think morals get in the way of pertinent medical advances? What is worth sacrificing in the advances of science? What possible outcomes can come from science in the future?

Does true science start with a conclusion and then an experiment to support it?

Usually science would begin with observations and a hypothesis. But i’m beginning to think that a conclusion from a previous experiment would be a cause to start up a new experiment.
Would true science be?

Actually, the purpose of science can be to disprove a hypothesis as much to prove one. Skepticism is essential to the scientific process, so performing an experiment to support a conclusion or hypothesis is only half the procedure.

Also, your conclusions from a previous experiment are really just observations of a different type. So you really need to start with a hypothesis rather than a conclusion about your upcoming experiment.

What is a good science experiment to do for my college class?

I have to do a little experiment with all the good stuff: hypothesesis, experiment, conclusion etc etc. What would be a good experiment to do? It doesnt have to be a major full on science experiment, this science class is for people not majoring in science. Any ideas?

The first link below gives guidelines on picking and completing a science project, plus provides a lot of links to other science project sites. Basically, find what area of science interests you most, and then go from there.
