Framework
Robert Grossetest published his Artistotelian commentaries which laid out the framework for the proper methods of science -
Microscope
The microscope is invented in the Netherlands. It waas likely invented by Cornelis Drebbel. Giovanni Faber coined the name mircrosscope for Galileo Galile's compound mircroscope. -
Scholarly Journals
Scientific Journals were the first form of communicating sceintifc reaserch to other scientist. The French 'Journal des Scavans' and the English 'Philosophical Transactions of Royal Society' were of the first to systematically publish research results. -
Telescope
Isaac Newton is credited with buidling the first 'practical' refelctor. -
Scientific Computer
Conceived by Harvard physics professor Howard Aiken, and designed and built by IBM, the Harvard Mark 1 is a room-sized, relay-based calculator. The Mark 1 produced mathematical tables but was soon superseded by electronic stored-program computers. -
Computer Simulations
Computer simulation developed alongside the rapid growth of the computer. Computer simulations were first used in a large scal during World War II. Computer simulations are often used to model systems and make predictions. -
Blind Experiments
A blind experiment is an experiment in which the information about the test is masked from the participant and the tester to reduce of eliminate bias. -
Invention of the Calculator
The first solid state electronic calculator was created in the 1960s. It was built up the history of the Abacus, developed aroun 2000 B.C. and the mechanical calculator developed in the 17th century. -
Adam
As a prototype for a "robot scientist", Adam is able to perform independent experiments to test hypotheses and interpret findings without human guidance, removing some of the drudgery of laboratory experimentation. Adam is capable of: hypothesizing to explain observations, devising experiments to test these hypotheses, physically running the experiments using laboratory robotics, interpreting the results from the experiments, and repeating the cycle as require. -
Tablets in Classrooms
School Districts across the nation add iPads to science lab materials. iPads are used by students to preform hands on labs without costly lab materials and many of the dangers that arise when using lab technology.
