Exploring Biology

The members of Temperance Brainers have some opinions to share regarding Biology, especially when it comes to the topic Genetics.

What I learn from Genetics is that it is quite complex. We get to study the structure of DNA, the inheritance of traits, and a lot more. I would say that this is an interesting topic to learn because you get to understand the concepts of the DNA and chromosomes and also its major functions in the body. There is also a brief history about it through experiments of scientists like the blender experiment of Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase. I also learned about the genetic mutations and disorders, and even inheritance of traits - through our parents or previous generations. I also get to learn about genetic manipulations which is very interesting because with technology, anything is possible. Overall, it's a fun experience even if it is complex as it would be.

I have learned from this lesson, the Genetics, that we all have traits that may be dominant or recessive. This chapter is really important to know and we should have a knowledge because we all have this. Also, in this chapter, I knew the history of genetics. The traits we have can come from parents or grandparents that we may inherit. I also knew some experiments and studies made by the scientists who are involved with the study of genetics like using blender. I always hear about DNA but didn't know the definition. But now because of this topic, I knew what it meant. Thanks to our Science teacher, Mr. Romeo Dolor for giving us an opportunity to report about this and gain some knowledge.

Genetics give a lot of help in educating is about ourselves and our history. DNA gives us an idea of how people are linked together and of why we have that or why we have those. It gives us a clear perception of why we have similar traits that our parents and that we also have. Not only does it pass that looks but sadly, it also passes illnesses that may trigger as you age. But all of them are part of being who you are. A part where you are something that completes your family.

Science isn't my favorite subject but our topic right now, genetics, is pretty interesting for me, basically because of the fun facts and stories I recently learned. Other than being fun and interesting, I still find it slightly hard and complicating for me. I hope and I know I will try to understand more about genetics this coming week.

DNA can make a good experiment. You can invent a new life or can make a change by perfecting your work in DNA but there are also experiments in DNA that are not working because of the wrong calculations. Then some are just release in public for money or to help the other people. You can change the world by your or our idea or work in the DNA but you have to use it in a good way not where you can do bad things. DNA can be a change to a man's life but it should be a good thing. You can be a change to people's lives.

There's Something About Physics

The members of the Temperance Brainers have some thoughts to share during their 1st Quarter experience with Physics as their main topic.

My first quarter experience on our Science was full of mixed feelings such as happiness and confusion. Our beloved Science teacher, Mr. Romeo Dolor, gave his best to help us in understanding the concepts of such topics. In those, one was about the Electromagnetic Spectrum, which covers the types of waves and computation for frequency and energy. Another topic discussed is all about light. I heard that light pollution is a thing. At first thought, I thought that it was impossible because we don't hear such cases like that, but I saw the adverse effects of LED lights into the world. Although it saves a lot of energy and is cheaper, it is much brighter and could lead to something harmful to the environment and to people like I do, who tends to use gadgets often such as cellphone and computer that emits radiation and could affect my eyesight. Few days ago, we took a Mid-Quarter Exam that scopes the 2 lessons mentioned, and one thing I had difficulty was the difference between concave lens and convex lens. I must have had interchanged their characteristics, and as my lesson, I will review again and understand it better. But despite all of that, the Science field in general is a fun and interesting subject to learn.

My experience during our first quarter in Science became a blast because we had a great teacher. Even though I had difficulties in solving some of the scientific problems with their solution, it was still worth it because it taught me a very important lesson which is "listening to the teacher'. We also had the topic "Light Pollution" which was very new to me, but really changed the way I look at things because as a gadget user, I know that it is bad for my poor eyesight. I also didn't thought that radiation would also cause bad effects to our body.

During the first quarter, we learned about Electromagnetic Spectrum, Light Pollution, and more. We had a hard discussion yet it is interesting and you will learn a lot especially with the help of our Science Moderator, Mr. Romeo Dolor. There are some difficulties we encountered but those aren't that much complicated. Those difficulties are basic things that you find hard but easy to learn actually. Science is a subject to emphasize the very and most specific things that you can see around you and some of those are from the topics we have studied. I had a lot of fun with learning Science because I find it very interesting. It is very important for you to know and to be aware of things around you and events that may happen/occur any moment.

I learn a lot about Science. New topics and new activities. This 1st quarter is fun, and maybe also the following quarters. Sometimes our teacher is too hard to us but I know that it is the best for us so that's why he do that to us. I salute our Science teacher for a wonderful teaching to us and hoping that there are more to come.

I had a sort of difficult time understanding Physics. Same thing with memorizing the formulae for the AGONSA. For terms and meaning of words are getting better to familiarize me. Lastly, I learned that I have really to do my best and not be lazy during the IP and help as much as possible. That's all for now in my experience in Science 10.
