To begin with, What is this Intriguing method? The Scientific Method is a series of procedures that individuals can utilize to know more about the world around them, better that knowledge, and set out to to elucidate why and/or how things come about. This method, or as they say Modus Operandi in Latin , involves recognizing observations, devising inquiries, forming hypotheses, performing experiments, analyzing the given facts and drawing a deduction. Every scientific experiment performed exemplifies the scientific method in action, but it is also used by non-science figures in everyday situations. A Biology investigation usually starts with an observation—that is, something that catches the biologist’s attention. For instance, a cancer biologist might notice that a specific kind of cancer can't be treated with chemotherapy and begin to wonder what the reason behind this abnormal result the case is. A marine ecologist, seeing that the coral reefs of her/his field sites are turning ...

Note: This blog is written in honour of all Brain Tumors Patients and Brain Tumor Day. World Brain Tumor Day is observed on June 8 every year to raise awareness and educate people about brain tumors. It was first observed in 2000 by the German Brain Tumor Association. Introduction Despite its little mass ( 1.4 kilograms ) and its gooey jelly like components, it is the most complex and important body organ. It produces every creative thought, inspires every brush stroke, and ignites inspiration for every musical piece that has been or will be composed. It holds every recollection, significant or not, joyful or melancholic, old or new. In this mini-goo like structure, a world of hundreds of billions of neurons(nerve cells) exists, each having a certain job in this huge however small world. Can you guess what it is?  Yes, it’s the Brain! Brain Tumors: What are these foul parasites? However, lurking in the shadows is a parasite that is waiting to feast on the complex and phenomenal st...

In Celebration of World Bicycle Day ( June 3 ), we will be exploring the Environmental impact of Cycling and why it's an excellent choice for a sustainable future. Cycling is an environmental friendly, sustainable and healthy mode of transportation that offers numerous benefits: 1. Reducing Carbon Footprint    Cycling is a zero-emission mode of transportation producing no greenhouse gas(es) or air pollutants. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “a vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons CO2 per year” equating to about .96 pounds of CO2 per mile while bicycles emit around .03 pounds per mile (including the emissions produced from manufacturing the bike) and that’s substantially less than even other environmentally friendly alternatives to driving. 2. Air Quality improvement    Cycling also improves air quality by reducing vehicles tailpipes emissions, which release harmful particles, chemicals and gases contributing to air pollution and negatively i...

With every moment that passed, dense smoke choked the air as the wildfire's flames rose higher and higher. What once refreshed our souls with purity became a suffocating enemy, slaughtering our lungs and destroying our health. These blazing flames ate up everything standing in their way, robbing every living thing of its soul and transforming every entity into suffocating ashes. The flames of the wildfire were vicious monsters, moving forward into the forests, moving to slaughter trees and animals, only stopping before their greatest enemy; rivers. People were speechless in front of this devastating natural disaster that moved as though it owned the world, turning what we breath for life into a terrible chronic disease that invades lungs and murders public health. What are Wildfires?    Bushfires, brush fires or forest fires, all those are names used to describe wildfires, large , uncontrolled , destructive natural disasters that not only affect forests and grasslands but urb...

Introduction For centuries, music has been life, accompanying man through good and bad, evolving over the years from beats to symphonies. It has been translating our souls’ deepest desires, our minds’ complicated thoughts, and hearts’ intricate emotions. Humans have always resorted to music as an escape from reality to soothe their aching souls. But what is the truth behind such joy that seeps into our minds once we listen to music? This question is what will be discussed in the following paper; the psychology of music. How our Brain Perceives Music As we all know, music, or any other sound in general, enters through our ear as sound waves which are then converted into electrical impulses that can be interpreted by the brain. This process takes place in three stages involving the pinna, ossicles, and cochlea (parts of our outer, middle, and inner ear respectively). Stage 1: The pinna channels the sound waves down the ear canal to the eardrum which in response to those incoming sound...

  In this era of technological advancements and scientific discoveries, fostering Students interest in STEM is crucial. And one effective way to accomplish this is by establishing a STEM Club in your school. In this blog post, We will guide you through the process of building a STEM Club in your school and highlight the resources and support EstheraSTEM (a leading non-profit organization dedicated to promoting STEM Education) offer to help you. Getting Started The first step in building a STEM Club is to lay a strong foundation for the driving force behind the club which include passionate individuals (students, teachers and mentors). Gaining support from teachers, parents and school administrators can help make the Club a reality. Defining the Club Vision and Goals Every STEM Club needs a clear vision and goal that defines the purpose of the Club whether it was established to foster curiosity, encourage innovation or promote career exploration in STEM Fields. Planning Engaging Act...

Astrophysics, the scientific study of the universe offer the pathway for us to understand and explore space and unravel mysteries of the universe (a vast place full of galaxies, stars, and planets). Astrophysics provides insights into the fundamental forces and phenomena that shapes our cosmic surrounding. In this blog post, We will embark on a journey of exploration, delve into the World of Astrophysics and uncover incredible discoveries and advancement in the Field. 1. Star A star is an astronomical object comprising a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. It  is a large ball of burning gas in space. Stars appear to us as small points of light in the sky on clear nights. •The Nearest Star to Earth is the Sun. 2. Cosmic Mysteries The mysteries of the cosmos continue to captivate and challenge scientists worldwide. From the enigmatic nature of dark matter and dark energy to the search for extraterrestrial life, each cosmic mystery holds the potential to reshape...
