Reflection 12

Sputnik was the first artifical satellite into the earths optical orbit. The Introducation of mathimatical problem solving and sciences and adding intructional materials such as activities and active assignments into the class room after Sputnik was launched. Mainly science and math was mainly dominated by males. Males came into math and science department as many fields but this does not hold true today.
When you think of science the first visual image you see is a child with his science fair volcano or a starifome model of the planets. Two main points are the first thing you think of is a visual image. Science is known for stimulating and emulating replicas of its subject matter. From diagrams such as the famous table of elements or the evolution of man, to its models of cells and the human skeleton that have been in classrooms for over a decade. Science uses these tolls to aid in teaching the complex content of the subject. Second is the hands on deductive reasoning science forces you to use such as the scientific method to using a microscope to exaime cells and other microscopic life forms. Science forces you to use critical thinking and make logical choices for yourself, not to be mistaken with relying solely on personal opinion. Science is what philosophiers like Socrates were predicting. Not that the human just comes up with their own conclusion and then blindly accepts it as fact, but that a human comes up with a theory or thesis and tests it and finds evidence that this theory is a proven fact. Math is a method used to figure out the answer to the question why.
Sputnik opened up the feild of science into the broad array of subject we have today. Philospohers such as Socrates could only fathom such steps in our education. Questioning the unknown and figuring out whats out there. This lead to many other space programs that broaden our education. Sputnik also lead to break throughs in mathimatical equations and deductive reasoning. We now had a whole solar system to explore and teach to our new generation. Our society is based on the evolution of our technology and the strides we have taken since our theory of the earth being flat. It raises questions and seeks out answers education is evolution and Sputnik lead the revolution in the math and science.
