Hi everyone! Welcome to my first research round for my new cycle. My new inquiry question is: “How is education connected to intelligence and success?”. During this round, I will principally be investigating the concept of intelligence. Evidently, intelligence is challenging topic of study as it can be defined and measured in various ways. I’ve decided to cover topics such as what intelligence is, how it is measured, how it varies across the world and different types of intelligence.Read More...

For this cycle, I will be posting about the function of the hatchery, its importance, and what kinds of experiences I've had since I started interning there. My...Read More...

Hey Butterfly Effect, For my first round of research, I am going to briefly look into how technology has evolved over time. Although my question is about how technology relates to teenagers, first I must know how both technology and teenagers evolved separately before relating my findings later on in dept. So to start off this new cycle, I have come up with some questions to help guide this research round: What is technology? What was the first piece of technology?, What we're the different...Read More...

Hey everyone! I'm very delighted to be back to researching for my second cycle. If you can't tell from the title of this post, my inquiry question is... "What is the science behind heartbreak ?"

So in this post, I will be talking (or well writing) about how the mother’s voice impacts the fetus, and how the baby could start learning in the womb. As I explained in my last post, fetuses can hear pretty well in the womb (comparing to thinking they can’t hear at all) but now research suggests that they can understand sounds too. This topic is highly debated because we still don’t know if humans are born being able to understand speech or if we have to learn it afterwards, but I want to...Read More...

Going on to more research about pregnancies, I wanted to find out how certain parenting techniques affect the child while still in the womb. So I’m going to look into music.

Inquiry Plan Based off of technology's past, present and theorized future advances, how could it change the world around us in the future? The idea of this question came to me when I was getting pissed at my computer yesterday due to its low ram and how it tended to slow down a lot when running a virtual machine cause it would take 4gb’s of the ram and allocate all of it to the virtual machine cutting the already low 8gb’s down to 4gb’s. But that’s not from where the question came, the...Read More...

In my last post I looked into the advertisements specifically on cigarette packages themselves. For this post I'll be looking more into the claims companies made, as well as how their marketing strategies changed as knowledge of the health risks increased.

Claims such as this lost popularity with the rise of government control over the tobacco industry, as...Read More...

With this new generation should we be changing how and what we are teaching in school? I chose this question because schooling is something that affects all kids, and it seems like adults ask everyone else what they think accept the kids.

This topic let's me explore the different teaching ways, what we should be learning, how we should be teaching...Read More...
