October Eureka Masters

Welcome to Eureka Masters

The UM is fascinating!  I'm excited to discuss these principles with our Master Achievers.

That being said, we would also like to invite those who read the master book to join our UM discussion, or just listen in to learn.  

Our book discussion will be first, then we'll move into the fascinating world of the UM.

This Month's book:

Frankenstein by Shelley

Assignment: bring a snack to share that looks like a body part, ie., fingers, hair, toenails....you know, something creepy.

You can either read the book, or do the UM Assignment.  

Both would be best!

Universal Model Assignment:  This is a Large Book with loads of studies and information.  We have a lot to fit in, so we will jump right in!

Skim the first 4 chapters!  Yes, it's a lot, but just skim.  Read the picture captions, and text that is set apart from the regular text. Be open minded. Get familiar with it.

After skimming, go back and actually read a few sections.  Take notes in your commonplace book about each of these sections:

1.7 The Human Touch - be prepared to discuss nature's puzzle compared to the modern science puzzle.

2.1 The Line Between Theory and Natural Law - be prepared to discuss the difference.

Page 30-33, write down the universal scientific method, and define each one (notice how the definitions are in bold).

What is a pseudotheroy? pg. 36

Pgs 45-46 - read the section entitled "The Dark Age of Science"  Why is today the dark age?

Pgs  55-56 - What is the difference between technology and science?

Chapter 4 diagrams - What is a scientific revolution?  Do you think the UM is a scientific revolution?

Of all the information in chapters 1-4, bring 1 BIG idea to class.  You will be given a couple minutes to present your findings on this 1 idea.
