Reflection

From the previous lesson, I learned several things. We watched videos of our assignment which were about the explanation of scientific theories and laws, and also about the misconceptions of scientific theories. From those videos, the video I enjoyed the most was made by Group 2.





This video explains the definition of scientific theories and laws in simple terms which are easy to understand. I also learned about the misconceptions of scientific theories. An example of one is how science is complete. This is incorrect because science is an ongoing process and there is much more to learn about the world. In fact, in science, making a key discovery often leads to many new questions for investigation. Furthermore, scientists are constantly elaborating, refining, and revising established scientific ideas based on new evidence and perspectives. From this assignment, i have also gain more knowledge on how to make videos and ways to make a video more engaging ( through feedback from other students after the video presentation).

Furthermore, I also learned about the differences between scientific theories, scientific laws and hypotheses. A hypotheses is a statement that is a still being tested whereas a theory is a hypotheses that has been repeatedly tested and not disproven, and a law is a statement that is universally accepted and it is based on mathematical evidence which can be proven. The picture and video below further explains the differences between scientific theories, laws and hypotheses.


For this lesson, I would need further help in learning how to construct a hypothesis because sometimes I write them incorrectly. I will use this knowledge to teach my students on the importance of a hypothesis as it must be written in every scientific report. With this knowledge,I can also teach them how to construct a hypothesis easily using the method learned ( if... , then... ).
