Waste Wheelers

I have three choices: physics, environmental science, and aquatic science. Im a junior at this moment. I heard that physics is alot of math and Im descent at math but im already going to take Precal and that already seems to much for me. The other two classes are supposed to be easy. Wat do you guys suggest? Thanks for answers.

Woo Hoo! for Environmental Science!!!! Great jobs being funded everywhere for that major! Aquatic science could be cool, too.

I want to work in investment banking/ finance after college, and was wondering if Computer Science would be a good quantitative major for an undergraduate degree.

Ultimately, I want to get an MBA right after or at least a Masters of Finance degree before I start working.

I agree with the first answer. I would encourage you to go for your MBA in finance. Have a great day!

In order to fulfil the needs of hunger in the world we live now, Science has taken a huge role in producing and managing different food. Not only taking part in processing, Science has become a part in our daily routines. Science is indeed everywhere, and it is Science that makes our everyday much easier that what our past faced. But what is it that helped us to be able to feed a population over a billion around the world??

Yes by selection of high production charactors, producing enough eggs and meat.

Hey, so i am a junior and the counselors have been bugging us about our future. Well, at first, i thought of being a surgeon and there is no way to that. However, I am interested in chemistry and biology. I was looking through some universities catalogs and biomedicine seems interesting to me. However, I know very little about it. Does it pay much? Do people look up to it when i say i am studying for biomedical science?

Biomedical science is a field that crosses several disciplines. You could think of it as sort of a combination of chemical and mechanical engineering and biology. A Biomedical Engineering degree comprises basic engineering courses plus basic medical courses such as physiology, anatomy, and biocompatibility. Biomedical engineers design and build a broad array of medical instrumentation and devices. There are great opportunities designing, making and delivering medical device technology. For example, pacemakers, catheters, stents, imaging equipment (x-ray, mri, ultrasound, etc.), artificial hearts, dialysis machines, diagnostic equipment, artificial joints, and vascular grafts are some of the devices that biomedical engineers help produce. Biomedical Engineering is a great field. Biomedical is actually one of the best engineering fields to enter. It is a growth field and is one of the most recession proof areas of the economy. It is particularly a good field if you go into the higher end of business which is about designing, making and delivering medical device technology. For example, pacemakers, catheters, stents, artificial hearts, dialysis machines, artificial joints, and vascular grafts are some of the devices that biomedical engineers help produce. Salaries for medical device engineers range from around $70,000 to $90,000 depending on the area of the country. To get a job in these areas, it helps to attend a top notch BE program or have a masters. You should also know that it is a highly concentrated business. Most of the companies are in California or Minnesota. There are a few smaller but growing biomedical regions in Salt Lake City, Boston and others. But, it is not the kind of job you can find anywhere. Probably 90% of the jobs are in about 6-7 cities.

Do architects scientists etc. of Britain and the US actually use the imperial system? Thats hard to believe. How did people do science and developing before the metric system was invented? I cant imagine that because the imperial system which is still used in the States and Britain is so stupid.

Any system of measurement is a subjective standard which has no real effect on the task at hand (apart from delivering results in different units from another system). And while the Imperial system came about more, shall we say, organically than the metric system’s interlocking definitions of units, it’s still a perfectly usable system. That you can’t imagine using it says more about your inability to speculate beyond familar territory, than about the usefullness of one system over the other.

These are the guidelines for 4th grade:
This can include any aspect of the physical sciences but could be extended to include people, plants, and animals in the home. Remember safety aspects of physical science including never mixing chemicals without checking with an adult, wearing goggles, reading labels, and using batteries for power.

im in year 11and last year in science we made this exploding volcano with fizzy drink and mentos!!! pretty cool hey??
well make a volcano out of either plastic, plasta or anything that could hold drink.. pour in lemonade or diet coke… add red food colouring so it looks like lava and throw in a packet of mentos and watch it explode its really cool and so FUN
probably try it first so you can improve anything if you need to

I am a highshcool junior & I have straight A’s. I am getting scheduled for my senior year, but am unsure about what science to take next year. My school only needs 3 years of science to graduate & i am not planning on majoring with anything that has to do with science. However, I hope to get a scholarship for college. Which should I take, physics 100 or environmental science 100. Which would look better to colleges, but not bring down my GPA?

THANKSSS ALOTT! <3

I think physics would look a little better than envi sci since it’s more quantitative.

The hardest part of a science fair project may very likely be getting started. Once you have an idea in mind it is easy to formulate what experiments and research you will need to do. Until you chose a topic you do not have anything to aim toward. The science fair project is typically designed as an educational tool. This article is not designed to hand you an idea for a project. My goal is that these ideas will point you in the right direction or even give inspiration for another related idea. The three descriptions here will give you an outline, not a project; it is your job to expand on a project idea.

                Idea number one: The effect of gravity on plant growth. The main focus of this idea is to see if gravity has an effect on how plants grow. Some answers will only be found through research, specifically on ‘auxin’ and ‘geotropism’. Here are two experiments that you can perform to test how plants grow in relation to gravity. Fold a paper towel down to 1.5 to 2 inch strip. Moisten the folder paper towel with water and place pinto beans spaced out on the strip. Roll up the strip of paper towel with beans and tape it to a piece of cardboard. Be sure to draw an arrow on the cardboard pointing up and put it inside a gallon zipper style baggie. Place the board in a vertical position, like against a window. Over time make note of which direction the stems and roots grow. Ask questions like, “How did the roots know to grow down?” Another experiment that can be used is to simply plant pinto beans in two different aluminum pans with potting soil. Leave on pan on a flat surface while elevating one end of the other pan. This will cause your second ‘garden’ to be on a slope or angle. As the beans grow, note the angle of the stems to the soil.

                Idea number two: How is water transported through plants? The main focus of this idea is to see how water travels through a plants roots and stems. Some research key words will be ‘xylem tubes’ and ‘sap’. This basic experiment is easy but can be elaborated on. Get a bunch of celery (one bundle) from you local grocer. Be sure to select two stalks from close to the center of the bunch. After cutting off the bottom evenly with the help of an adult, place one in a cup of water (clear plastic cups may work best) and another in a cup of water turned red with food coloring. After 24 hours, dry off and observe the celery stalks. You may want to use a magnifying glass or have an adult cut a section of the stalk so you can view the cut ends. After you test the celery try using a while carnation in the same test. Another more elaborate variation is to take a white carnation and have an adult cut the stem long ways from the bottom to half way up the stem. Place one of the halves in a cup with water died red and the other half in a cup with water died blue. This will help you determine if xylem tubes are connect together or remain separate from each other.

                Idea number three: How can seeds break apart rocks? The main focus of this idea is to see if the growth of plant seeds actually pushes apart a solid object. Research key words for this idea are ‘weathering’ and ‘physical weathering.’ In the experiment for this idea, you will need to fill two small disposable cups half full with plaster. (Note: be sure to not rinse plaster covered tools and bowls in a sink, as it will clog the drains.) In one you will place pinto beans into the plaster leaving half above the surface and half below the surface. The cup without pinto beans will be your ‘control’. Moisten a paper towel for each cup (not dripping) and place into the cups so that the towel is snug against the surface of the plaster. After one week remove the paper towels and begin the observation process.

                These three science fair project ideas may give you a good place to start on your project. Please be sure to research each idea extensively and even create your own variations of the experiments. More ideas will follow in future articles.

Can science and technology make the robot of similar to mankind quick in action currently?

They need to do way instain inventor.
