Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg was a genius in
theoretical physics. He was one of the pioneers of quantum
mechanics. And yet, he nearly failed his doctorate exam
because he did not know how to use experimental apparatuses
or answer some simple questions about batteries.
What do you think is more important – a general knowledge of
everything or expertise in one area?

Define computer
science. Then, create a
list of 5 potential jobs
that students of
computer science can
obtain. How much

The Black Rhino population in South Africa
was increasing in the 2000s. Some data is
missing.
Interpolation
is when data
between two known points is estimated
using graph.
Extrapolation
is when data is
estimated beyond the known values using
the trends of the graph.
Create a line graph of the known data. Use
the graph to interpolate the values for
years 2001, 2003 and 2007, as well as
extrapolate the predicted values for 2011
and 2012.

There are not many restrictions when naming newly discovered species
of plants and animals. Some scientists like to have fun and give their
discoveries silly names like
tasseled wobbegong
(a type of shark) and the
golden horse fly called
scaptia beyonceae
.
Suppose you found a new species (of any type - your choice): what
would you name it? Add a drawing and a description that explains the
name.
OPINIONS
MATTER
SPECIES DISCOVERY
Engage students with thought-provoking prompts ranging from theoretical physics to species discovery. Explore topics like expertise vs. general knowledge, year-round schooling, computer science careers, rhino population trends, and naming newly discovered species. Encourage critical thinking, research, and creativity in daily assignments.
