com/2015/12/17/opinion/the-benefits-of-black-physics-students.html 1. What is the article about ? This article was about how a physics class would benefit with there being diversity ( of color ). 2. Where: where did this discovery/ event / story occur Fisher V University of texas had an argument on the topic of “what unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class”. Meaning what unique perspective does a black student have to improve the learning experiences for everyone. 3. When; when did this discovery/ event / story occur ?This article was published December 17 and the article mentions that the oral argument happened last week.
This would mean it happened sometime around December 10th. 4. How: how does this discovery/ event / story relate to our everyday lives ?It relates to our everyday lives because black people are always being judged on their abilities to succeed in school. Chief Robert’s question on what unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class, means how does a black student improve the learning experiences for everyone. Stuff like that happens all the time; for example, what could a black person bring to a dance team or what could a black person bring to a basketball team.A black student does not attend class to improve the learning of others, just how white students do.5.
Why: why is this discovery/event / story important to science ?It’s important because black students want to be accepted into a physics class the same way white students are and other races. The Black Female Mathematicians Who Sent Astronauts To Space Date: 1/2/16Subject area: space http://mentalfloss.com/article/71576/black-female-mathematicians-who-sent-astronauts-space 1. What is the article about ?This article is about how katherine johnson’s calculations helped send the first astronaut who orbited the earth, and how african american women faced segregation.2. Where: where did this discovery/ event / story occur ?NASA headquarters is located in washington DC where they hired all the african american women to work as human computers.3. When; when did this discovery/ event / story occur ?Katherine johnson was awarded presidential medal of freedom November 2015 for her contributions in NASA.
Katherine johnson played a big role in helping Alan Shepard capsule trajectory in 1961.Johnson’s calculations also helped in future missions such as apollo 11 in 1969.In 1943 NASA langley research center hired educated black women to work as the human computers. 4. How: how does this discovery/ event / story relate to our everyday lives ?When NASA hired african american women, those were times when black people had to use different washrooms from white people, or they had to eat in the coloured section. Even though segregation ended black people still experience this racial discrimination.5. Why: why is this discovery/event / story important to science ?This article is important to science because without katherine johnson’s calculations, they would have probably not ended up orbiting the earth in that year.
opinion : diverse perspective Date: 7/29/13Subject area: biology https://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/36733/title/Opinion–A-Diverse-Perspective/ 1. What is the article about ?This article highlights the struggles African American biomedical scientists are faced with when applying for government research funding. In the article these struggles are demonstrated through a biologist named Ernest Everett Just and his journey. Although he came across many issues in his career he still prevailed and remains a highly respected scientist in the field of embryology. 2.
Where: where did this discovery/ event / story occur ?Just’s studies started out in the United States. Eventually to expand his knowledge and scope of study he traveled abroad. While abroad he was featured in many panels where he discussed his theories and developments. 3. When; when did this discovery/ event / story occur ?Ernest Everett Just’s studies took place in the early to 20th century.
He was born on August 14, 1883 and died on October 27, 1941. His studies were mostly conducted in the early 20th century. 4. How: how does this discovery/ event / story relate to our everyday lives ?The story of Mr. Just and his significant discoveries apply to us today because by contributing to our education on embryology he helped jumpstart other scientist to bring us where we are now. His discovery is made up of a method to stop an egg from being fertilized by more than one sperm. This discovery has paved the way for many other biologists and has been under appreciated up until recently.
Just believed that there were many factors affecting the fertilization process, one main one being the setting in which fertilization occurs. Another of these factors was an egg’s condition leading up to the fertilization. He was known as what is called an Eco-Devo scientist.
5. Why: why is this discovery/event / story important to science ?His discovery is important to science because without it we would not be as advanced in our knowledge of the subject. By coming out with these unique to his time discoveries, Just proved that diversity is an essential component when it comes to scientific development.

His actual scientific discoveries were made many years before he died. Specifically the late 20th to early 21st century. Although in his early years George Nauflett did not have access to a proper education, he later on in life ended up attending and graduating college and university with a degree in chemistry.4. How: how does this discovery/ event / story relate to our everyday lives ?Nauflett’s inventions apply to us today because without the material he discovered science would not be as advanced. He has also been a big spokesperson for the difficulties that come with the role of African American in his field. That is still a huge issue today.
5. Why: why is this discovery/event / story important to science ?His inventions are important to science because without the material he discovered the satellite would not have been complete. Having the satellite contributed to our scientific advancement and he was a large contributor to that.Percy Lavon Julian laboratory Medicine Oxford Academic Date: 10/ 22/15Subject area: chemistry https://academic.
