Aging research is a very popular area of study as there are many different factors and areas that are being investigated. With the developments in science and medicine the life span has been dramatically elongated and researchers are looking to further expand life as well as treat the many chronic diseases that occur as an individual ages. Some diseases that have a lot of research include Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well as stopping the signs of aging.
This is not so far removed from human experience. There was no such thing as modern science for most of the 1000s of years of recorded human history. Modern science, as we understand it, has only existed for the last few hundred years – founded by the greats such as Sir Isaac Newton. It is from their beginnings that modern science has developed – and, for that matter, modern technologies (the “appliance of science”).
Your child can use the measuring spoons and glasses, pots and pans, and even ladles to measure, mix and make your science projects, with the added advantage that he can keep it secret from the rest of the school. Now, contrast that with letting your child do his experiments in the school laboratory. And you can make it fun for him and the rest of the family! Well, of course, your child must do majority of the 5th grade science projects but you can help out, can’t you?
For example, in an experiment where wet plaster is dropped from varying heights to predict the size of craters when meteorites fall on the Earth, you can help your child arrive at just the right consistency of the plaster. All you need are water and plaster of Paris and a small box filled with soil.
You have to guide your child, encourage his innate curiosity and build on it for numerous 5th grade science fair projects. You will be surprised at how many questions he has that can be answered with simple demonstrations using simple materials and equipment.
3 – We want science to be objective – but we cannot get round the fact that we are all individuals and see the world though our own eyes, and process the world inside our own minds. However, to make things as objective as possible, in science everything is made as public as possible – data and theories have to be publicly accessible and assessable (though in practice the “public” may be specialists in a given topic).
