[N]early every creationist debater will mention the second law of thermodynamics and argue that complex systems like the earth and life cannot evolve, because the second law seems to say that everything in nature is running down and losing energy, not getting more complex. But that's NOT what the second law says; every creationist has heard this but refuses to acknowledge it. The second law only applies to closed systems, like a sealed jar of heated gases that gradually cools down and loses energy. But the earth is not a closed system
it constantly gets new energy from the sun, and this (through photosynthesis) is what powers life and makes it possible for life to become more complex and evolve. It seems odd that the creationists continue to misuse the second law of thermodynamics when they have been corrected over and over again, but the reason is simple: it sounds impressive to their audience with limited science education, and if a snow job works, you stay with it. ~ Donald R. Prothero
Science Education quotes by Donald R. Prothero
I, like almost all chemists I know, was also attracted by the smells and bangs that endowed chemistry with that slight but charismatic element of danger which is now banned from the classroom. I agree with those of us who feel that the wimpish chemistry training that schools are now forced to adopt is one possible reason that chemistry is no longer attracting as many talented and adventurous youngsters as it once did. If the decline in hands-on science education is not redressed, I doubt that we shall survive the 21st century. ~ Harry Kroto
Science Education quotes by Harry Kroto
I'm a school teacher, and later on, well past my formal education, I became very interested in science. ~ Bernard Beckett
Science Education quotes by Bernard Beckett
The U.S. can still maintain research institutions, such as Caltech, that are the envy of the world, yet it would be hubristic and naive to think that this position is sustainable without investing in science education and basic research. ~ Ahmed Zewail
Science Education quotes by Ahmed Zewail
We need science education to produce scientists, but we need it equally to create literacy in the public. Man has a fundamental urge to comprehend the world about him, and science gives today the only world picture which we can consider as valid. It gives an understanding of the inside of the atom and of the whole universe, or the peculiar properties of the chemical substances and of the manner in which genes duplicate in biology. An educated layman can, of course, not contribute to science, but can enjoy and participate in many scientific discoveries which as constantly made. Such participation was quite common in the 19th century, but has unhappily declined. Literacy in science will enrich a person's life. ~ Hans Bethe
Science Education quotes by Hans Bethe
You are not reading this book because a teacher assigned it to you, you are reading it because you have a desire to learn, and wanting to learn is the biggest advantage you can have. ~ Cory Althoff
Science Education quotes by Cory Althoff
Certain things need to be done again and again in life, but those things can be learned only in context, not as an abstraction. Different contexts must be provided in order to motivate students and to provide real world skills that will be remembered, not because they were studied and tested but because they were practicied again and again. ~ Roger Schank
Science Education quotes by Roger Schank
Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn't work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science. ~ Roger Bannister
Science Education quotes by Roger Bannister
Learning to communicate in and with a culture of science is a much broader undertaking than mastering a body of discrete conceptual or procedural knowledge. One observer, for example, describes the process of science education as one in which learners must engage in "border crossings" from their own everyday world culture into the subculture of science.1 The subculture of science is in part distinct from other cultural activities and in part a reflection of the cultural backgrounds of scientists themselves. ~ Heidi A. Schweingruber
Science Education quotes by Heidi A. Schweingruber
Never memorize something that you can look up. ~ Albert Einstein
Science Education quotes by Albert Einstein
Tax dollars intended for science education must not be used to teach creationism as any sort of real explanation of nature, because any observation or process of inference about our origin and the nature of the universe disproves creationism in every respect. ~ Bill Nye
Science Education quotes by Bill Nye
The best prophylactic for god viruses, especially fundamentalist variants, is science education. The more science is taught or discussed, the fewer tools a god virus has to infect populations. ~ Darrel W. Ray
Science Education quotes by Darrel W. Ray
TV serves us most usefully when presenting junk-entertainment; it serves us most ill when it co-opts serious modes of discourse - news, politics, science, education, commerce, religion. ~ Neil Postman
Science Education quotes by Neil Postman
Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future. ~ Ahmed Zewail
Science Education quotes by Ahmed Zewail
In fact, NSF was the leading successful efforts to improve U.S. math and science education long before the Department of Education was even created. ~ Bob Inglis
Science Education quotes by Bob Inglis
Text is linear; it is black and white; it doesn't zoom around the page in 3-D; it isn't intelligent by itself; in fact, in terms of immediate reaction it is quite boring. I can't imagine a single preliterate was ever wowed at the first sight of text, and yet text has been the basis of arguably the most fundamental intellectual transformation of the human species. It and its subforms, such as algebra, have made science education for all a plausible goal. ~ Andrea DiSessa
Science Education quotes by Andrea DiSessa
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible. ~ Bertrand Russell
Science Education quotes by Bertrand Russell
Religion often has conflict with science but spirituality is a science. ~ Debasish Mridha
Science Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
The purpose of science is not down-scaling everything to physical level and measure, but to penetrate deeper into the realm beyond the sensory perceptions and bring more in-depth knowledge and wisdom to the world. ~ Amit Ray
Science Education quotes by Amit Ray
For example, there was a book that started out with four pictures: first there was a wind-up toy; then there was an automobile; then there was a boy riding a bicycle; then there was something else. And underneath each picture, it said "What makes it go?"
I thought, I know what it is: They're going to talk about mechanics, how the springs work inside the toy; about chemistry, how the engine of an automobile works; and biology, about how the muscles work.

It was the kind of thing my father would have talked about: "What makes it go? Everything goes because the sun is shining." And then we would have fun discussing it:
"No, the toy goes becaues the spring is wound up, I would say.
"How did the spring get would up" he would ask.
"I wound it up"
"And how did you get moving?"
"From eating"
"And food grows only because the sun is shining. So it's because the sun is shining that all these things are moving" That would get the concept across that motion is simply the transformation of the sun's power.

I turned the page. The answer was, for the wind-up toy, "Energy makes it go." And for the boy on the bicycle, "Energy makes it go." For everything "Energy makes it go."

Now that doesn't mean anything. Suppose it's "Wakalixes." That's the general principle: "Wakalixes makes it go." There is no knowledge coming in. The child doesn't learn anything; it's just a word

What the should have done is to look at t ~ Richard P. Feynman
Science Education quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Christianity, democracy, science, education, wealth, and the cumulative inheritance of a thousand years, have not preserved us from the vain repetition of history. ~ Ralph Adams Cram
Science Education quotes by Ralph Adams Cram
I'm not suggesting that teachers never tell the truth, only that it isn't necessary to do it all the time. Since coming to one's own conclusions is mostly how we learn, the real job of a teacher is to force students to come to sensible conclusions by confronting what they already believe with stuff that is antithetical to those beliefs. A confused person has only 2 choices. Admit he is confused and doesn't care, or resolve the confusion. Resolving the confusion invloves thinking. Teachers can encourage thinking by making sure students have something confusing to think about. ~ Roger Schank
Science Education quotes by Roger Schank
The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge. ~ Seymour Papert
Science Education quotes by Seymour Papert
Crucial to science education is hands-on involvement: showing, not just telling; real experiments and field trips and not just 'virtual reality.' ~ Martin Rees
Science Education quotes by Martin Rees
If a teacher has only love for the cause, it will be a good teacher. If a teacher has only love for student, as a father, mother, he will be better than the teacher, who read all the books, but has no love for the cause, nor to the students. If the teacher combines love to the cause and to his disciples, he is the perfect teacher. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Science Education quotes by Leo Tolstoy
The purpose of education is to fit us for life in a civilised community, and it seems to follow from the subjects we study that the two most important things in civilised life are Art and Science. ~ Anthony Burgess
Science Education quotes by Anthony Burgess
There was no room for dust devils in the laws of physics, as least in the rigid form in which they were usually taught. There is a kind of unspoken collusion going on in mainstream science education: you get your competent but bored, insecure and hence stodgy teacher talking to an audience divided between engineering students, who are going to be responsible for making bridges that won't fall down or airplanes that won't suddenly plunge vertically into the ground at six hundred miles an hour, and who by definition get sweaty palms and vindictive attitudes when their teacher suddenly veers off track and begins raving about wild and completely nonintuitive phenomena; and physics students, who derive much of their self-esteem from knowing that they are smarter and morally purer than the engineering students, and who by definition don't want to hear about anything that makes no fucking sense. This collusion results in the professor saying: (something along the lines of) dust is heavier than air, therefore it falls until it hits the ground. That's all there is to know about dust. The engineers love it because they like their issues dead and crucified like butterflies under glass. The physicists love it because they want to think they understand everything. No one asks difficult questions. And outside the windows, the dust devils continue to gambol across the campus. ~ Neal Stephenson
Science Education quotes by Neal Stephenson
We have not given science too big a place in our education, but we have made a perilous mistake in giving it too great a preponderance in method in every other branch of study. ~ Woodrow Wilson
Science Education quotes by Woodrow Wilson
Many schools today are sacrificing social studies, the arts and physical education so children can cover basic subjects like math, English and science. ~ Geoffrey Canada
Science Education quotes by Geoffrey Canada
The Russian Federation and the United States of America, the two biggest nuclear powers in the world, but apart from nuclear-wise, we have a lot in common. We have huge territories, natural resources, technologies, science, education, and of course human capital. ~ Sergei Lavrov
Science Education quotes by Sergei Lavrov
There are those whose views about religion are not very different from my own, but who nevertheless feel that we should try to damp down the conflict, that we should compromise it. ... I respect their views and I understand their motives, and I don't condemn them, but I'm not having it. To me, the conflict between science and religion is more important than these issues of science education or even environmentalism. I think the world needs to wake up from its long nightmare of religious belief; and anything that we scientists can do to weaken the hold of religion should be done, and may in fact be our greatest contribution to civilization. ~ Steven Weinberg
Science Education quotes by Steven Weinberg
The word constructionism is a mnemonic for two aspects of the theory of science education underlying this project. From constructivist theories of psychology we take a view of learning as a reconstruction rather than as a transmission of knowledge. Then we extend the idea of manipulative materials to the idea that learning is most effective when part of an activity the learner experiences as constructing a meaningful product. ~ Seymour Papert
Science Education quotes by Seymour Papert
my first recommendation to people in charge of science education is, more money for public libraries and museums. Public libraries and museums ought to be as common as schools. ~ Freeman Dyson
Science Education quotes by Freeman Dyson
All science asks is to employ the same levels of skepticism we use in buying a used car or in judging the quality of analgesics or beer from their television commercials. ~ Carl Sagan
Science Education quotes by Carl Sagan
Yet like many other human traits that made sense in past ages but cause trouble in the modern age, the knowledge illusion has its downside. The world is becoming ever more complex, and people fail to realise just how ignorant they are of what's going on. Consequently some who know next to nothing about meteorology or biology nevertheless propose policies regarding climate change and genetically modified crops, while others hold extremely strong views about what should be done in Iraq or Ukraine without being able to locate these countries on a map. People rarely appreciate their ignorance, because they lock themselves inside an echo chamber of like-minded friends and self-confirming newsfeeds, where their beliefs are constantly reinforced and seldom challenged.
Providing people with more and better information is unlikely to improve matters. Scientists hope to dispel wrong views by better science education, and pundits hope to sway public opinion on issues such as Obamacare or global warming by presenting the public with accurate facts and expert reports. Such hopes are grounded in a misunderstanding of how humans actually think. Most of our views are shaped by communal groupthink rather than individual rationality, and we hold on to these views out of group loyalty. Bombarding people with facts and exposing their individual ignorance is likely to backfire. Most people don't like too many facts, and they certainly don't like to feel stupid. Don't be so sure that you can ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Science Education quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
We're doing it wrong, absolutely wrong! Miss Universe should be about Space Exploration, Miss World about Science and Miss Earth about Going Green! ~ Manasa Rao
Science Education quotes by Manasa Rao
Nothing could be more reckless than to base one's moral philosophy on the latest pronouncements of science. ~ Edward Abbey
Science Education quotes by Edward Abbey
In university, we are given a taught a lesson then given a test. Whereas in life, we are given a test that teaches us a lesson. #UniversityOfLife ~ Habeeb Akande
Science Education quotes by Habeeb Akande
The social sciences were for all those who had not yet decided what to do with their lives, and for all those whose premature frustrations led them into the sterile alleys of confrontation. ~ Peter Ustinov
Science Education quotes by Peter Ustinov
I am living just to love. ~ Debasish Mridha
Science Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
If you are too lazy to cleanup your database after testing, your filesystem after testing or your memory based system consider moving to a different profession. This isn't a job for you. ~ Roy Osherove
Science Education quotes by Roy Osherove
The biggest mistake of past centuries in teaching has been to treat all students as if they were variants of the same individual and thus to feel justified in teaching them all the same subjects the same way. ~ Howard Gardner
Science Education quotes by Howard Gardner
Since ancient times artists and architects have seen in the golden mean the most aesthetically satisfying geometric ratio. ~ Stephen M. Barr
Science Education quotes by Stephen M. Barr
School feeding is a great tool to encourage education and provide food aid to children born into extremely impoverished situations. The kids in school being fed by WFP are empowered by their school meal to learn and better their lives! ~ Lauren Bush
Science Education quotes by Lauren Bush
Probability theory is nothing more than common sense reduced to calculation. -1819 ~ Pierre-Simon Laplace
Science Education quotes by Pierre-Simon Laplace
Hope keeps us alive. Life is interesting because of egocentric hope and love full sprit. ~ Debasish Mridha
Science Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
Science had given mankind many gifts, and she valued it. But the one important thing it had taken away was the value of subjective, personal experience. That had been replaced with the idea that only measurable and testable concepts had value. But humans didn't work that way ... ~ James S.A. Corey
Science Education quotes by James S.A. Corey
If I'm desperate, I'll read anything. But even when I can be choosy, I still have no hard-and-fast rules. I have rules about what I won't read, rather than what I will. No science fiction, no romance, no chick lit. Although even these rules can be broken. ~ Sonya Hartnett
Science Education quotes by Sonya Hartnett
Young people, those who think they're experts in science, there's no doubt. They just believe it, and so there has to be an explanation - and whatever man is doing has caused the jet stream to slow down, and that is permitting the polar vortex. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Science Education quotes by Rush Limbaugh
On one occasion when [William] Smart found him engrossed with his fundamental theory, he asked Eddington how many people he thought would understand what he was writing-after a pause came the reply, 'Perhaps seven.' ~ Arthur Eddington
Science Education quotes by Arthur Eddington
Verily, a man without fear is either dead or happy to die. ~ Wayne Gerard Trotman
Science Education quotes by Wayne Gerard Trotman
Education brings sustainability to all the development goals, and literacy is the foundation of all learning. It provides individuals with the skills to understand the world and shape it, to participate in democratic processes and have a voice, and also to strengthen their cultural identity. ~ Irina Bokova
Science Education quotes by Irina Bokova
Gaining my education from practical experience certainly benefited me. If I had gone on to be a lawyer, my life wouldn't have been anywhere near as interesting. ~ Lindsay Fox
Science Education quotes by Lindsay Fox
I've started to treat my health like a science project. ~ Sophia Bush
Science Education quotes by Sophia Bush
The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together. ~ Carl Sagan
Science Education quotes by Carl Sagan
How long you been in the infantry, sir? Anything under ten miles counts as 'almost there'. ~ Henry V. O'Neil
Science Education quotes by Henry V. O'Neil
Students coming from father-present families score higher in math and science even when they come from weaker schools. ~ Warren Farrell
Science Education quotes by Warren Farrell
Leisure of itself gives pleasure and happiness and enjoyment of life, which are experienced, not by the busy man, but by those who have leisure. ~ Aristotle.
Science Education quotes by Aristotle.
The Nobel prizes memorialize Alfred Nobel's faith in the contribution that human thought, directed to science and art, can make to human welfare. ~ Herbert A. Simon
Science Education quotes by Herbert A. Simon
The more you love, the more friends you will have. The more friends you have, the more love you will receive. ~ Debasish Mridha
Science Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
A talent is formed in stillness, a character in the world's torrent. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Science Education quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Two seemingly antagonistic forces, equally deleterious in their actions and ultimately combining to produce their results, are at present ruling over our educational institutions, although these were based originally upon very different principles. These forces are: a striving to achieve the greatest possible extension of education on the one hand, and a tendency to minimize and to weaken it on the other. The first-named would fain spread learning among the greatest possible number of people; the second would compel education to renounce its highest and most independent claims in order to subordinate itself to the service of the State. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Science Education quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Well, what should I have done? Counted every tree?" "Of course, they must be counted. You didn't count them, but Ryabinin did. Ryabinin's children will have means of livelihood and education, while yours maybe will not! ~ Leo Tolstoy
Science Education quotes by Leo Tolstoy
We want you to write it down
to camouflage it. Only for the present, of course. Once the thing gets going we shan't have to bother about the great heart of the British public. We'll make the great heart what we want it to be. But in the meantime, it does make a difference how things are put. For instance, if it were even whispered that the N.I.C.E. wanted powers to experiment on criminals, you'd have all the old women of both sexes up in arms and yapping about humanity. Call it re-education of the mal-adjusted, and you have them all slobbering with delight that the brutal era of retributive punishment has at last come to and end. Odd thing it is
the word 'experiment' is unpopular, but not the word 'experimental.' You must'nt experiment on children; but offer the dear little kiddies free education in an experimental school attached to the N.I.C.E. and it's all correct! ~ C.S. Lewis
Science Education quotes by C.S. Lewis
There is good science you can do in space. There is stuff there you cannot do on Earth and we can gain understanding from it. ~ Helen Sharman
Science Education quotes by Helen Sharman
Human resources are just tremendous in Egypt, but we need the science base; we need the correct science base. ~ Ahmed Zewail
Science Education quotes by Ahmed Zewail
Shall I refuse my dinner because I do not fully understand the process of digestion? ~ Oliver Heaviside
Science Education quotes by Oliver Heaviside
until we courageously find a cheaper antidote to our ignorance, we shall courageously pay a higher price for our ignorance always ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Science Education quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
These three classes of problems-determinations of significant fact, matching facts with theory, and articulation of theory-exhaust, I think, the literature of normal science, both empirical and theoretical. ~ Thomas S. Kuhn
Science Education quotes by Thomas S. Kuhn
The word "religion" comes from the Latin for "binding together," to connect that which has been sundered apart. It's a very interesting concept. And in this sense of seeking the deepest interrelations among things that superficially appear to be sundered, the objectives of religion and science, I believe, are identical or very nearly so. But the question has to do with the reliability of the truths claimed by the two fields and the methods of approach. ~ Carl Sagan
Science Education quotes by Carl Sagan
The greatest achievements in the science of this [twentieth] century are themselves the sources of more puzzlement than human beings have ever experienced. Indeed, it is likely that the twentieth century will be looked back at as the time when science provided the first close glimpse of the profundity of human ignorance. We have not reached solutions; we have only begun to discover how to ask questions. ~ Lewis Thomas
Science Education quotes by Lewis Thomas
I became interested in educational technologies because I believe that they have the potential to transform how we practice and think about education and learning. ~ Mitchel Resnick
Science Education quotes by Mitchel Resnick
We have yet to encounter an observable astronomical phenomenon that require a supernatural element to be added to a model in order to describe the even ... Observations in cosmology look just as they can be expected to look if there is no God. ~ Victor J. Stenger
Science Education quotes by Victor J. Stenger
Perhaps enlightenment, technology and secularism haven't cleared Europe of the oldest science of all - the occult. ~ Adam Nevill
Science Education quotes by Adam Nevill
Let happiness bloom
In the freshness of your mind,
In the gentle wind of your thoughts.
On the ground of kindness and compassion. ~ Debasish Mridha
Science Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. ~ Paul Davies
Science Education quotes by Paul Davies
It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge. ~ Brooks Atkinson
Science Education quotes by Brooks Atkinson
Me, and thousands of others in this country like me, are half-baked, because we were never allowed to complete our schooling. Open our skulls, look in with a penlight, and you'll find an odd museum of ideas: sentences of history or mathematics remembered from school textbooks (no boy remembers his schooling like the one who was taken out of school, let me assure you), sentences about politics read in a newspaper while waiting for someone to come to an office, triangles and pyramids seen on the torn pages of the old geometry textbooks which every tea shop in this country uses to wrap its snacks in, bits of All India Radio news bulletins, things that drop into your mind, like lizards from the ceiling, in the half hour before falling asleep
all these ideas, half formed and half digested and half correct, mix up with other half-cooked ideas in your head, and I guess these half-formed ideas bugger one another, and make more half-formed ideas, and this is what you act on and live with. ~ Aravind Adiga
Science Education quotes by Aravind Adiga
[Walt] Whitman and [humanist educator John] Dewey tried to substitute hope for knowledge. They wanted to put shared utopian dreams - dreams of an ideally decent and civilized society - in the place of knowledge of God's Will, Moral Law, the Laws of History, or the Facts of Science ... As long as we have a functioning political left, we still have a chance to achieve our country, to make it the country of Whitman's and Dewey's dreams. ~ Richard Rorty
Science Education quotes by Richard Rorty
Why would you clone people when you can go to bed with them and make a baby? C'mon, it's stupid. ~ Ray Bradbury
Science Education quotes by Ray Bradbury
You may be an expert in environmental protection policy, but when it comes to science, you're an amateur. How much do you actually know about undersea resource development? If you truly want to come up with a solution that allows both, you'll need to have the same amount of knowledge and experience with both. It's arrogant to think that knowing only one is sufficient. Only by respecting the other side's work and way of thinking can you open a path for compromise. ~ Keigo Higashino
Science Education quotes by Keigo Higashino
When I forget how to love I look at my dog. ~ Debasish Mridha
Science Education quotes by Debasish Mridha
It's better to die in pursuit of your dreams than to live a life without hope. ~ Terry Brooks
Science Education quotes by Terry Brooks
