The English skills that i have used in my science classes have been writing, note taking, reading and test taking skills. I used the writing skills by knowing how to write an essay or a passage correctly and without making any mistakes. I used the note taking skills by taking better notes and summarizing not just copying everything that the teacher puts on the board or gives to us. I used the reading skills by knowing what to read and how to read not just to read something without understanding or knowing what it means or says. I used the test taking skills by actually knowing how to do a test, for example i need to read the questions first and then reading the passage or essays and also by eliminating the answers that are wrong so i have a better chance of having the correct answer. I think that English and science don't really go together but if you know English really good it may help you with science that involves writing tasks, tests, taking notes and reading mostly reading because most of the time when anyone is reading something that has to do with science the only person that understands it is the teacher or the person that wrote it and because of English you maybe able to understand the structure of whats written and maybe understand the whole thing.
We are learning science in our English class because its a special class, we will learn and try to find the Bioacoustics of whales and dolphins. Some English skills that we use in science are writing skills, reading skills, note-taking skills, and communication skills. I used writing skills in my science class by making my science project essay. I also used my reading skills in reading the research papers and all the other science projects. My note-taking skills were used during class time when i had to take notes or when i had to read and take more notes for homework. I used my communication skills in science when i share my answers with the class or when i present a project. I believe that the Science course and the English course don't really go together but it could work by using ours skills together. One of my strongest subject is science so i think ill be good at that. My downfall in this class is that Im not as strong in English than i am in my other subjects.I think this class is going to be ok and fun.
We are learning science in a english class because its a good way to be working in both subjects at the same time. Its going to make us experts in science and english so thats pretty cool. I think english and science are kind of similar by the way they have in commen note taking, writting essays, vocabulary and there might be other more. Also learning science in a english class, its going to make the class even more exciting. Its a good way to be understanding science and english in one class, I think thats pretty cool. Iam ready to begin this project, it sounds really fun and we are going to be learning new things about science and even english. It sounds difficult what we are going to be doing but working together and helping each other is going to become more easier. Thats what we supposed to do help each other so we could all do good on this project. First I didnt wanted to take this class but now that i see what we are going to be doing i really injoy it so that makes me happy.
The skills that we learn in any English class enhances our vocabulary and our level of comprehension. We could apply these skills to our everyday lives, for example we could use them to learn and experiment in science class. Any science class can be fun and be a great opportunity to learn if we choose to make it that way, with that said, the skills we learn in English combined with the skills that we learn in Science can make a pretty good combination to add to our skills to move on in life. So in any case, to learn about Science in English class should not be looked at negatively as an extra amount of work, but as an advantage to add to our skills and further increase our knowledge of both subjects. Nevertheless, I can use my knowledge and skills that I have learned in the past to help me learn about Science in English class, with minor problems and be able to do just fine in this year's English class and be able to pass this year with a grade that is above average. To conclude, I wish to tell my fellow students and our dear teacher, to make this year one where they can grow both academically and socially, and most of all, make this year one that they will never forget.
In my science classes I use a lot of english. The way i write talk and read, it all has to do with english. When i write, i write in english and the way that i write narrows down to what I learned in my english classes. Even the way i take notes it all comes from my english classes. Another way I use english in my science classes is the way I read it, everything I read is in english. Science can have many difficult words but having english makes it easier to understand them or figure them out. In my science class we also speak in english, that associates with our english class as well. In all my classes we use english. For me, these two subjects can go together in a good way even though they are different in the sense of what you learn. For instance, if you are doing some kind of report for an important cause you probably want to know how to write very good english, you also want to know how to argue in a persuasive and correct way. Putting these two subjects together can come out with a very good result and you can do so many things.!
In my personal opinion I think that we are studying science in English class to test our mental capacity. I also think that we are talking about science in english to learn about the natural resources that are provided to us by mother nature. I think that are taking science in english in order to test our mental, verbal, and learning capacities. In order to test our mental capacities we need to combine many different subjects into one class in order to learn diverse things. Also we might be learning about science in english to be part of a scientific study that includes technology. Technology plays a big role in this class because we will be combinig technology, english,U.s. government, and biology to to see what we can learn from the different subjects. This might or might not be the answer to this question but all I know is that I want to go to the flip.
There are many English skills you can apply in science. Some English skills you can apply in Science are reading, extracting information, clearly stating important information, forming opinions, articulating ideas, and organizing information. Or science skills in English. Science will help you to learn how to organize your thoughts and ideas and it will teach you how to apply logic to how you write. English applies to every subject and to the every day use. As well as science. Without English you wouldn't be able to understand science. Or you wouldn't be able to communicate with others. You also use your English skills to take notes or write essays. Scientists use English skills to state their observations and theories. Also, without science, you wouldn't understand why or how things work. We use English in science, and some science in English. Which in this case, our project, connecting English and science; and even U.S. Government and Computer.
To be honest i really do not know why we are learning about science in an english class. I was new to the class and i didnt really understand the concept of learning about science in english. All that i was told is that this is a special calss and that we wont just be learning about only english. I can guess and think that we will use our english skills to more understand and analyze the science concepts. I also think that everything that we learn and study about the science will help us with our english skills. I am very anxious to get started on what we have to do in this special class.
In English class they teach you many different kinds of skills that you can apply to every day life and this can include science. I know for a fact that if I hadn’t read the books I have read about science related things, I wouldn’t be able to comprehend them because English can give you very detailed information of actual things that are happening and this can include science related information. I find it hard to comprehend how things work if I do not read about them and that’s where English comes in. One example of this can include a text book explaining to us what molecules are and what they are made of. If we dint have the skills to put together what we have learned throughout the years, we wouldn’t be able to understand what the text is explaining to us. Another example of how I have used English in my science class would be thru the experiments and the data I have gathered and added to my lab reports. Because after you gather all the data from an experiment, you have to write actual reports that include sentences well structured that show what you have learned throughout the experiment. Also the vocabulary we learn in English class and all of the root words can also apply to science vocabulary and our comprehensions towards it. The things I skills I have learned in English class have made me a more successful student in my science class. I believe the two subjects go very well together because if you really think about it, science does include a lot of English related things.
