EXERCISES ON THE NATURE OF SCIENCE: INDIRECT OBSERVATION Roland P. Stout Asst. Professor of Chemistry Drake University Des Moines, Iowa 50311 An earlier 1ST] article (Stout, 1986) presented several methods for demon­ strating the importance of observation in scientific inquiry. The blue bottle demonstration described there illustrates the use of indirect observations in science. The demonstration described here carries the concept of indirect observation further. It can stand alone, or be integrated with the blue bottle demonstration for a more complete discussion of the nature of science. Very few scientific investigations would be possible without indirect observa­ tions. In a study of Charles' Law for example, one does not see directly the gas expand with increasing temperature. However, a balloon might be observed to expand, or the levels of liquid in a U tube observed to change as the temperature is changed.

  • The Street That Changed Everything
    The Street That Changed Everything Hailey Cisneros, Mikaela Johnson, Christian Kilgore, Gabriel Perez Senior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 483 words Process Paper Beginning this school year, our group was determined to choose a topic that was unique for our National History Day project. It had to fit the theme, but also resonate with the judges. After exploring a variety of subjects like Soul Train and Amnesty International, our group ​ ​ ​ ​ concluded that the well known and loved television show Sesame Street was perfect. For 50 ​ ​ years, Sesame Street has taught children all around the world lessons such as math, science, ​ ​ language skills, building self esteem, and acceptance with their widely diverse cast and mission team. Sesame Street continues to make higher education their goal, as children are the future. ​ ​ Our initial research began online. With Sesame Street being televised there were many ​ ​ photos and videos, making a documentary the best way to display this topic. We then took a trip to a local university, where we found significant books such as Street Gang: The Complete ​ History of Sesame Street by Michael Davis and Children and Television: Lessons from Sesame ​ ​ Street by Gerald S. Lesser. We also conducted around 20 interviews with people of various ​ ​ ​ backgrounds related to Sesame Street. Some examples being professors in Early Childhood ​ ​ Education, members of the Sesame Workshop, and political representatives. Our first interview ​ ​ with Jodi Nussbaum, Vice President of Sesame Workshop was our most impactful interview, as ​ ​ she has worked with Sesame Workshop for the past 27 years. She explained key steps in the ​ ​ process of creating a show, the research and collaboration, and what the future holds for Sesame ​ Street.
