"It's that coursework time again! Before you begin to panic, just think of it as an easy way to score marks for your science GCSE. If you do well in your coursework, it takes the pressure off your exams. Coursework is an excellent opportunity for you to show the examiner that you understand science.
coursework is divided into different sections, and you will be given marks for each section. This is excellent, because if you are not particularly good at the practical part of your coursework you can make up the marks in the plan or the discussion sections.
There are 4 main sections. Let's look at them one by one.

Planning
In this section you are planning what you are investigating, why you are investigating it, how you are going to do it, making it a fair test, and finally predicting what you think will happen.
1. Decide upon a topic that has something you can measure, because you can collect a set of data or recordings that you can draw graphs of and comment upon.
2. Find out as much information as you can on your topic, this will help you make your predictions - if you understand the topic you can work out what you expect to happen.
3. Work out what you are going to MEASURE, CHANGE, and CONTROL in your investigation. For example - if you are looking at the affect of increasing acid concentration on the rate of reaction of marble chips, you will MEASURE the rate of reaction by measuring the carbon dioxide gas given off during each test, you will CHANGE the concentrations of acid and you will CONTROL the amount of acid you use, the mass of marble chips that you use, the temperature of the acid, the surface area of you marble chips and the equipment you use.
4. This is an area that examiners look out for, if it is done correctly it will get you top marks: Make sure you have made your investigation a FAIR TEST, that means writing down all your controls and explaining why you have done them.
5. The more data you have the more reliable and accurate your results will be. The examiners will look for a good set of results and if you have only carried out each test once these will not be very reliable results.
6. When you are planning your method make it simple, clear, accurate and above all safe. Remember to write it in the future tense - this is how you PLAN to carry out your investigation, you have not actually done it yet.
7. You must include SAFETY in your plan, if you miss this out you can often not get to the higher marks in this section, examiners will always look for this section first.

Obtaining evidence
This is the section where you actually DO your experiment.
1. Make sure you use appropriate equipment e.g. don't use a 500ml measuring cylinder if you only need 10ml of acid!
2. Make sure you repeat your test at least 4 times, this will ensure that you have plenty of data to draw reliable and accurate conclusions.
3. Make sure you carry out your investigation safely, and say how you did this.

Analysing Results and Drawing Conclusions
First draw a graph of your results. Make it clear, accurate and neat.
1. Remember to label your axis - don't forget units.
2. Also remember to write a clear title on your graph, and use a pencil, not pen.
3. The examiner will look that you have included the correct units on your graph - even if everything else is correct, no units = no marks.
4. Next... answer the following questions and this section will be a winner!!
• Can you see any patterns or trends in the results?
• What do the results show you?
• Why did this happen?
• How does this relate to your scientific research?
• Was your prediction correct?

Evaluation
This is the final section of your coursework and it is all about evaluating your performance and progress.
Again answer the following questions to get top marks!
• Was your method a suitable one?
• Were your results accurate? How did you ensure that they were accurate?
• Were there any anomalous results? If Yes, Why?
• How could you improve your investigation?
• How could you extend your investigation?

GCSE science coursework includes the assessment of practical knowledge in scientific subjects in addition to all other skills. If you are looking for some improvement in your grade or ranking in your assignment in various subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology etc, you need to improve some practical skills as well as you should plan the study in such a way so that it completes by due date. The work involves planning and design, experimentation, data tabulation and presentation, inferences and conclusion.

Your general certificate course in secondary education in science subject should start from planning. You should identify a topic for your experimentation and research and you need to elaborate all the experimental inputs required to carry out the work in a safe and professional manner. Sometimes you need to begin with a hypothesis. The methodology should be discussed in details and all test data needs to be tabulated either in a spreadsheets or in a plane paper. You should come out with several data so that experimental error is minimized.

Actually you should take all safety precaution while conducting your experiment and you should describe the details of the precautions taken during your experimentation. The next important part of your scientific home assignment is to present the data. You should also present graphs, figures, maps etc in your report. The introduction part of your assignment should describe in brief the aim and objective of your experiment. You should ensure that your writing work is unique and it is not copied from any other source and if you taken a reference from other sources, you should properly cite it in the assignment or essay.

The interpretation of data obtained during your experiment should be logical and scientific. Further you have to tell that the interpretation support or contradicts your hypothesis and if it contradicts you have to find reasons for it. You should ensure that the whole writing work is totally free from grammatical, structural and logical errors and it has been reviewed before submitting it to the educational institute. The next and most important thing to remember is that you should never miss the due date. Your general certificate course in secondary education in science discipline is an important assignment for evaluating your various educational and professional skills and you should never take it lightly as its contribution can significantly change your final examination marks or ratings.

Actually you should never copy even a small sentence from any other source and you should ensure that your assignment or your writing work is totally plagiarism free. There are strict guidelines for checking any type of assignment or essay including assignments of general science course for copy and paste from other sources. If plagiarism is found in your writing work, you are liable to strict punishments.

So, these are the simple tips to improve your GCSE science coursework writing, however you should follow the full guidelines provided to you by the institute or your teacher. A hard work, dedication and thorough understanding of the subject will enhance your ability to write and present your work more professionally and consequently it will benefit not only your present GCSE science coursework but it will also enhance your rating in final examination.

The Science Behind the Gem Therapy

Most of people think that what is the science behind the Gem therapy. We have many examples of moon and sun that how they effect of all the livings. We get thousands of rays from cosmos. Science gives name alpha rays , beta rays ,gama rays and so many ....thousands of rays are unknown and sciennce is trying to find out the properties of such rays...but our rishis(masters) knew the science of rays...and the example of their knowledge is the gem therapy...
We all know about the spectum. When white light passes through a prism, the emergent beam is composed of seven (7) different colors, commonly known as the acronym VIBGYOR i.e., Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet in the reverse order. The same effect is observed in a rainbow. It is believed that our body contains these seven colors in different proportions. If the colors are balanced, the native is with good fate – healthy and wealthy. Any deficiency or excess of one or more rays causes mental or physical or social problems.to avoid bad effect of planets good astrologer decide which gem should be worn and how. sometimes to empower the planets we need to wear the sidha gem.
we have different kind of thosands gems in the world and most of narreted in our shashtras. Rishi varahmihir explained in details many gems. the main gems are Ruby, Pearl, Coral, Emerald, Topaz, Sapphire, Diamond, Agate, and Cat’s eye respectively refer to Sun,Moon,Mars,Mercury, Jupiter,Saturn,Venus,Caput (Rahu),and Cauda (Ketu).
We can choose gem by the moon sign, sun sign , lagna , lord of lagna and weak planets to empower or sometimes we select the gem by requirement of native for particular work or karya sidhi.
the things should be considered while wearing gem is as under:

1. Analysis of the horoscope. 2.To Select The correct gem 3. Quality of Gem 4. Weight of the gem 5 Method to bind the gem 6. Metal of the ring 7. Worship for the Gem by holy herbs things n chants against holy fire .8. Day and time of first wearing 9. Process to be done while wearing
the gems have the strenght to absorb particular rays from cosmos and they can spread it in our body. the gems should touch our body for that. but we must choose appropreate gem for the native. if we choose wrong one it may harm the native. so be particular when deciding the gem. the gem is a kind of energy so never try to play with the energy.

Want an explanation for the universe and all that's in it? Naturalists have one. They tell us that the universe happened to form as it did by chance. Chance after chance after chance just accidentally made life on this earth possible. Again by chance the right assortment of chemicals came together somewhere and life began. And over a long period of time, just by accident, some of those life forms developed into things that could walk upright, think, and speak.

The naturalist thinks that the universe runs by impersonal laws and everything - you, I, the world, and the whole universe just happened by pure dumb luck. They take a sort of "what you see is what you get" attitude. If you can see, hear, touch, taste or smell it, it's there. Naturalists also include reason as a basis for reality. Consequently, they see such things as mathematical laws as undeniable truths. But, on the other hand, if you can't sense it, or reason it, or if science can't analyze it, then it's probably not there.

That sounds like a hardheaded, practical way of looking at things. If we accept it, we can rule out a conscious God with purposes. There is no need for him. What about life beyond the physical body? You can't sense it, and you can't deduce it by reason. It's probably not there either.

Naturalism sounds like a reasonable position with scientific backing, at least on the surface. Much of it is taught in our schools as a series of facts. But it has a few problems too.

First Law of Thermodynamics

One major problem for the naturalists is their theory runs counter to basic laws of physics. The first law of thermodynamics, also called the law of conservation, says that while energy and matter can change from one form to another, neither can be created or destroyed. Logically it follows, nothing in nature can account for its own origin. In other words the universe did not make itself.

Second Law of Thermodynamics



The second law of thermodynamics, also called the law of entropy, states that everything in nature eventually runs down unless some external source of energy rejuvenates it. From that we can conclude, the cosmos is not infinitely old; otherwise, it would already have run down. Taking it a step further, there must also have been a beginning. In fact, modern scientists claim they can trace the universe back to a point of origin in the ‘big bang’.

We know that nothing can come into existence unless something causes it. The only reasonable explanation for the 'big bang' is something outside of and apart from the universe made it happen. The religious side claims the name of that "something" is God.

Inherent Contradiction

C.S. Lewis points out the self-contradiction inherent in the naturalist theory. Obviously human knowledge depends entirely on the validity of our reasoning. Suppose naturalists are right, he says. Suppose nature is all that exists. Nothing has ever existed or ever will exist except a meaningless play of atoms in space and time. Then, by a very long series of chances it has produced things like ourselves - conscious beings whose thoughts are nothing more than an accidental result of the whole meaningless process and is therefore meaningless itself.

Consequently, the arguments of the naturalist are no more valid than the ravings of a maniac if both are the product of the irrational. Naturalism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out it has no meaning.

Human Longings

Human longings present another problem for naturalists. Desires are made to be filled. We feel hunger, well, there is such a thing as food. We thirst, well there is such a thing as water. We feel sexual desires, well, there is such a thing as sex.

But if we long for true justice, perfect peace, total acceptance, and unconditional love, which no experience in this world can satisfy, then we were probably made for another world. None of this would make sense, if we are just a series of random accidents.

Finely Tuned Universe

Physicists tell us that the cosmos is custom-made for life and consciousness. If the constants of nature -- unchanging numbers like the strength of gravity, the charge of an electron and the mass of a proton -- were the least bit different, then atoms would not hold together, stars would not burn and life would never have happened.

"When you realize that the laws of nature must be incredibly finely tuned to produce the universe we see, that conspires to plant the idea that the universe did not just happen, but there must be a purpose behind it," says John Polkinghorne, former physicist at Cambridge University.

Requirements for Livable Planet

What's the most logical explanation for our planet, solar system and universe? Science reveals a whole series of items which are crucial for making earth a livable planet. A. Cressy Morrison, former President of the New York Academy of Sciences, offers his scientific evaluation in the book: Seven Reasons Why a Scientist Believes in God:

"So many exacting conditions are necessary for life on the earth that they could not possibly exist in proper relationship by chance. The earth rotates on its axis 1000 miles an hour at the equator; if it turned at 100 miles an hour, our days and nights would be ten times as long as now, and the hot sun would likely burn up our vegetation each long day while in the long night any surviving sprout might well freeze.

"Again the sun, source of our life, has a surface temperature of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and our earth is just far enough away so that this "eternal life" warms us just enough and not too much. If the sun gave off only one half its present radiation, we would freeze, and if it gave as much more, we would roast.

"The slant of the earth, tilted at an angle of 23 degrees, gives us our seasons; if the earth had not been so tilted, vapors from the ocean would move north and south, piling up for us continents of ice.

" If our moon were, say, only 50,000 miles away instead of its actual distance, our tides might be so enormous that twice a day all continents would be submerged; even the mountains could soon be eroded away. If the crust of the earth had only been ten feet thicker, there would be no oxygen, without which animal life must die.

"Had the ocean been a few feet deeper, carbon dioxide and oxygen would have been absorbed and no vegetable life could exist. "

Had any one of those factors been missing or even slightly different, life as we know it would not be possible. The most likely explanation is that this planet was purposely designed for habitation.

Archaeologists agree. When an archaeologist digs up an arrowhead, do you think the one who makes the discovery says, "Oh, look what nature has done. Environmental forces must have combined by random chance after chance after chance to form this perfect arrowhead." No? Certainly not. The archaeologist would say, "This is undeniable evidence of human presence!"

Isn't an enormously complex planet combining just the right features in just the right proportions to make life possible, a more impressive artifact than an arrowhead?

Those who espouse naturalism start with the premise that everything can be accounted for by natural forces. But they run headlong into the first and second laws of thermodynamics which flatly contradict their theory. Nothing in nature creates energy nor matter. And the universe had a starting date.

Moreover, Naturalism is logically inept as well as scientifically unsound. If everything, including our own ability to reason, originated from a random meaningless meeting of atoms, then we have no credible basis for trusting our own logic. Our words, our thoughts, and our theories including Naturalism are all meaningless as well.

Yet another fly in the ointment for Naturalists is human nature itself. An accidental accumulation of atoms is an inadequate explanation for the origin of human longings such as: true justice, perfect peace, total acceptance, and unconditional love.

The naturalist view is far too simple. A series of chances is insufficient to account for the orderly precision of the universe, the essential harmony of so many elements composing this world, and the ability of creatures like you and me to comprehend it.

Where there is a pattern, it is reasonable to assume there is intelligence behind it. Where there is a design, it is logical to assume there is a Designer.

Quote of the Day: "The more I examine the universe and the details of its architecture, the more evidence I find that the Universe in some way must have known we were coming." Freeman Dyson, physicist at Princeton University

CAN FUTURE BE PREDICTED?

When the great Julius Caesar entered his palace on the fateful day of his murder by his own beloved friend, he had ignored the warning of the cobbler, "Beware the Ides of March "

The sage Mihira predicted that King Vikramaditya's son would be killed by a pariah (pig) at the age of eighteen, so accurately that he was then after called Varahamihira.

We have numerous instances where predictions of seers, sages and astrologers have come true. There are various methods of prediction. Here are some.

1.Inspired predictions: Some persons invoke (or, are possessed by) Divine Souls and offer predictions. They employ certain 'mantras' which when chanted with reverence as prescribed in the scriptures, help them to invoke the spirits. But they do not remember the predictions once the spirits leave them.



2.Intuitions: Every man is endowed with this power. It will simply strike in your mind that something is going to happen and it will!

3. Dreams: It is a common experience of all of us that we dream events of the past and the future.



4.Omens: Belief in the omens is widespread in most countries.



5.Numerology: Numbers represent planets. Predictions are offered based on the date of birth etc

There is also a technique called" Astro Numerology" which employs not only numbers but also the positions of planets.

Some fore-tellers also use playing cards, marbles etc.

6.Palmistry: The palm of a man is said to reveal his future. Lord Christ has said in the Bible, "And God made marks upon the hands of man that he may know".



7.Physiognomy: There is also a system of prediction, which is based on the physical characteristics of a person.



8.Astrology: It is the most popular method of prediction, based on the horoscope cast for the moment of birth or enquiry.



In this article we are concerned with astrology.

ASTROLOGY vs SCIENCE

From time immemorial, man has been observing the objects of the sky and correlating their movement to the events in his life. Great men, Philosophers and sages have asserted their belief in astrology. But there is a lobby in some quarters that astrology has no scientific basis. According to them, it is superstition to believe that the planets have any say in human activities.

What is science? According to "Encyclopedia Americana" , it is "a systematized positive knowledge". Our sages and seers have observed the movement of celestial bodies, and with their knowledge, wisdom and inspiration put forward many theories proved "positive" by experience. It has become a fancy for some to scorn astrology as superstition. These men include scientists, rationalists and politicians. Those in power secretly consult astrologers for their personal and political fortunes but do not have the courage to include the subject in the curriculum. In ancient times great astrologers adorned the royal courts and the kings consulted them on all matters. We have instances where our sages had offered astounding predictions. Belief in astrology is a part of our culture.

Let us discuss the reservations of scientists for not recognizing astrology as an exact science.

KNOWLEDGE IS TRANSFERABLE

A scientist is able to split water into two gases namely oxygen and hydrogen. He can teach the technique to anybody, and the latter can obtain the two gases from the given quantity of water. Suppose an astrologer says by studying a horoscope that the native would marry an educated girl, he should be able to tell us what combination of planets made him come to that conclusion. And anybody who knows that particular combination should make the same inference in any chart. But, the astrologer miserably fails to transfer his knowledge and escapes by saying that 'intuition' also plays a vital role in predicting events. Unfortunately, astrology lacks clear-cut theories, which help us make definite inferences.



TEST OF PROBABILITY

Modern Science, like Chemistry or Physics, is based on theories, which stand the test of probability. Imagine that you toss a coin. The Probability that you get a head is 50%. It may vary from 40% to 60% by mere chance. But only an event with 70% probability is considered a significant event by Scientists. They accept that some factor is influencing the event. If 100 persons suffering from throat cancer are examined and at least 70 are found to be smokers, then we can conclude that smoking causes the disease. "Are the dictums of astrology universally true?" Let us take the statement - "Persons born with the Moon in Aries are short-tempered". To know the truth of this statement, we have to study 100 persons having the luminary in Aries at the time of birth. If at least 70 of them are short-tempered, then we can make confident predictions.

FREE WILL

Another argument against astrology is that man has a free will. He can plan, endeavor and achieve his ends. Success depends on his will power, self-confidence hard work and knowledge. There are two schools of thought. According to Dr.B.V.Raman, the eminent astrologer, "Planets impel us, but they do not compel". Knowledge of astrology helps us know in advance any impending danger. We can resist, modify or even overcome the impulsions of the planets. But, there are others, like the elite astrologer late professor K.S.Krishnamoorthy, who say that fate is inevitable. Man has a free will but how freely he can exercise his will is already destined. You know the rules of the road and are an able driver. But if the other man comes on the wrong way and dashes against you, it is fate! According to the Karma theory of Hinduism, man's life in this birth is the result of his past deeds in the previous birth. Unless the scientific basis of astrology is established, we cannot know the truth.



RELIGION AND ATHEISM



Astrology has long been associated with religion. The religious colour has kept the elite of the society away from the subject. While rationalists tar the image of astrology, quakes and clairvoyants exploit the public. There has been neither a serious study nor research. It is not an exaggeration if one says that the veterans, who held the field of Indian Astrology for the past few decades, did not encourage new findings. Krishnamurthy System based on the constellation and sub- theories is scientific and has been found very accurate in experience by many astrologers. But these theories have found a place only recently in the astrological arena.



VEXED QUESTIONS

There is a lot of disputes among astrologers regarding Ayanamsa and house system. This is also a reason why the subject remains unattractive. “Which is the correct time of birth?", "Which ayanamsa is correct?", "Is the cusp the beginning or the midpoint of a house?" are some of the vexed questions hitherto unanswered. For a beginner, the theories are too many to comprehend and apply.

It is high time that astrologers not only quote the old books but also do their own research and publish their findings.



MY RESEARCH



I took interest in astrology sometime in the early seventies. For quite sometime I had been testing the dictums of Vedic and Western astrology with actual events in the lives of my relatives and friends. The post mortem revealed that the theories were not universally applicable. I started my own research with the profession of a person as the subject. My aim was to find out whether any particular combination existed in the horoscopes of persons engaged in any particular profession. I collected the birth particulars of a number of bank employees and teachers. I cast their horoscopes accurately and tested the various theories.



DISCOVERY ABOUT ASPECTS



By God's grace a great discovery was made by me. I found that whenever the Moon signified the X house, the house of profession, it was invariably in aspect by the planet indicating the profession, Jupiter in the case of bank employees and Mercury in the case of teachers. Sometimes the aspects were harmonious and other times adverse. I tried to know how an adverse aspect could bring the native to the profession he was engaged in. The fact was that the aspects were not actually good or bad and the result depended on the aspecting planet and the aspected planet. So I termed the aspects (Western) as positive or negative.



SIGNIFICATION OF HOUSES BY PLANETS



Later I made another discovery more interesting than the previous one. Planets gain polarity by ruling or occupying a house.



AYANAMSA



There are a number of ‘panchangs’ in vogue owing to the different ayanamsas followed by different authors. This has resulted in lot of confusion as the ‘nakshatras’, ‘thithis’ etc differ on any particular day. The horoscopes cast by different followers are different, for one and the same person.



HOUSE DIVISION

There are various systems of house-division. The cusp of a house is taken as the beginning by westerners whereas Vedic astrologers take it as the midpoint.



TWIN BIRTHS



Children born with a few minutes’ difference have different characteristics. Sometimes one survives and the other dies though they have the same Rasi and Navamsa charts.

RECTIFICATION OF BIRTH TIME

Which is the actual time of birth? Even the sages have different opinions. One says that we have to take the cutting of the umbilical chord; another asks us to take the first cry of the baby and yet another advocates the method of pre-natal epoch. Again there are numerous ways of rectifying unknown birth times.

My technique sets all these disputes at rest!

A novel technique!

--------------------------------------------------

The 1st way of making science fun is to get everyone in your family involved. One day when it is nice weather take the whole family for a hike. Along the way point out different things and ask your family questions. Then go home and research things you saw on your hike. Find out the science behind what your family saw along their hike. For instance if they saw red rocks or something like that find out what causes rocks to be red rocks. Try to incorporate things into science that you know will spark an interest in your family.

The 2nd way of making science fun is to show an interest in it. Set up a science project night to show your children you are interested in learning more about science. If your family sees that you are not interested in science they are not going to show much interest. But if you act like you want to learn more about the earth or the stars or whatever it is. Your family will have a better chance of wanting to learn more. Just make sure that you show interest. This will help your family be more excited about science and what it has to offer. The reason your family will be more excited about science is because they can relate with you about what they are doing in science and will know that you are interested and want to hear what they have to say.

The 3rd way of making science fun is to figure out different ways of doing something. For example say you want to learn more about fish. Don t just get on the internet or get a book. Take your family to the aquarium and look at all of the fish then go and do some research and figure out why certain fish are the way they are. This will help make science fun because you and your family are actually getting into it and finding out more.

The 4th way of making science fun is to do hands on experiments and science projects. For example, say your family wants to learn about the wind and how it affects things. Get a kite and get your family out and fly it. Fly the kite in different kinds of winds and then do some research. This will help you and your family relates things to science that you are learning by actually taking the time to do it. This is a way to make science fun.

The 5th way of making science fun is to discuss science while doing science projects, before an outing, after seeing science in action, etc. If you discuss with your children what they are learning they will have more fun. Discuss the outcomes of science projects that you do together. If you take the time to discuss science it will be more fun because your children will be more excited about what they are learning.

There are many ways to make science fun. You just have to get out there and find them. You know what your family is interested in and what they have fun doing. So incorporate science ideas into your family activities. Your family won t even know that you are teaching them about science because they are having fun. They will just think that you planned a family activity. Make sure to keep it light and fun and not stressful and boring. It is very important that your children learn as much as they can about science. Learning as much as they can, when it comes to science will help them in their daily lives. Science helps with problem solving and other skills that your children will need. So make science as fun as you can.

There are various kinds of sciences in the world, but the ones that we value the most are those that can affect and improve our lives today. After all, if something doesn’t benefit our life here and now, or in the foreseeable future, then why would we want to waste our time to actually learn it?

Science exists in order to research nature and find ways to improve our lives. If we see that a certain science will benefit us, then we will invest great effort and means to learn it.
Throughout history we have seen that science develops in order for society to progress and advance. For example, scientific advancement led to the invention of the steam engine and other mechanical devices. On the other hand, when these inventions became obsolete, we no longer had any use for the science that created them. In other words, a science can appear and disappear depending on our need for it.

Kabbalah is an ancient science that has recently reappeared and continues to become increasingly popular because it offers knowledge that is of great benefit to today’s society. It is the science that enables us to understand ourselves and the world around us in its entirety. There is no other science that can completely explain the structure, function, and laws of the universe.

Why is Kabbalah able to offer us a complete knowledge that is beyond the boundary of more traditional sciences? It's because Kabbalah deals with concepts that are beyond time and space—our eternal, spiritual existence. And since this science studies things that are eternal, the science itself is eternally valuable. That is to say, the information it offers will never become "obsolete."

But if Kabbalah contains such great knowledge, then why aren't more people learning it? The reason for this is that Kabbalah cannot be learned the same way that other sciences are learned. If a person tries to learn Kabbalah in order to be knowledgeable or smart, then he will not really learn it. In order to learn Kabbalah, a person must focus on the new sensations he feels while studying since the purpose of studying is to begin to feel the part of reality that's beyond time and space.

Today, many people are learning the correct way to study Kabbalah and are discovering this eternal, infinite realm. Millions of people study Kabbalah, whether over the Internet, through books or other media. Some study it everyday and "live by it," so to say, while others simply remember that Kabbalah exists. In any case, once a person begins to study and understand Kabbalah, he never forgets it because he has already come into contact with the eternal, spiritual part of the universe. The knowledge he gains through studying Kabbalah is already an inseparable part of him and has a positive influence on his life and his development. Today, there are many scientists who use this wisdom for practical research and attainment, and they invite those who are interested to join them.

Everyone who has ever been to a science fair has seen the boring old science display like the baking sodaeruption or the paper universe, which have existed as favorites of some adults for what feels like generations. These styles of experiments are very simple and easy for the parents, however they are incredibly poor choices for the kids who must participate. What do they have to learn from them?

These basic experiments are the style of experiments that are so well-known that even the children understand what is going to occur before it does. When that occurs, then the children are not going to be learning much at all. Science fair judges have gotten bored with these types of presentations, and that is a tremendous problem for students and parents who endeavor to win prizes in their science fair competition. When it's all said and done, this style of presentation is only really good for the parents who are helping out their kid, and it may come as a surprise to learn that these varieties of projects are not particularly cheap!

What you need to establish is a unique science fair experiment, or at least a project that beats those repetitive projects. In addition to helping your child achieve more, a better science fair project can give the child an increased chance of becoming the winner of the the competition. More often now than in previous years, these exhibitions provide a scholarship{{{, and even those competitions that do not provide one can certainly point to a science scholarship when your child is the appropriate age to enroll in a college. Those science fairs which do not typically from time to time lead to a science scholarship later on down the line. This can be a nice opportunity, and in addition to the high marks, the understanding, and the experience your child is receiving with their entry, it gives you, the parent, a great reason to try and do something special.

I'm sure that you're asking yourself what type of original science experiments are recommended? The net seems like a excellent first alternative, but given the prevalence of use, one can be certain that state-wide science fairs will include a similar exhibit, especially if you found your idea from a well-known science fair blog. Even in a smaller science fair, or an in-class science fair, you would have to presume that there are one or two parents and students who are using the same sources which you have. Don't forget to include the judges and teachers, either. They can spot a duplicate project a mile away. These duplicate projects are trouble from the teachers and judges, as this approach negates the whole purpose of science fairs: creating a scientific plan. The people who run these conventions are hoping for the participants to create something unique, on your own. In addition, you have to think about what kind of experience your child is going to have. A competition is their opportunity to show their own creativity, and plucking an easy or inexpensiveproject borrowed of an internet site isn't helping them learn.

One can visit the library for books, or looking at downloadable ebooks as well. These sources are in general the best places for pre-made examples since there is more variety of choices, along with a smaller amount of people will have access to each one, minimizing the chances of seeing a duplicate project.

Have your child invent their own experiment, or if this plan does not work for them, have the child add their own unique twist to some small aspect of an interesting and more unique science project you have found in your research. You can borrow a little bit of ideas from the internet, especially from the “members only” websites that have very high quality experiments, and books or suggestions with more original ideas, but ensure to supplement them with an idea of your own!

If your child is in need of help with their science experiment ideas and you lack computer and spreadsheet knowledge or scientific knowledge, don't be afraid to look an expert for help. A majority of those members only internet sites offer very helpful bonuses like ready-to-go charts, graphs and spreadsheets for your and your child's use. You should get help from online tutors, who are usually going to be chemistry majors in college who can help you out with a little simple recommendations.

Anybody who has ever been to a science fair has viewed the tired old science project such as the baking sodaeruption or the cardboard galaxy, which have been stand-bys of a bunch of parents for seems like generations. These projects are relatively simple and easy from the parent's point of view, but these types of projects are incredibly unwise choices for the students involved. Why?

These basic experiments are the type of experiments that are so ubiquitous that even the students know exactly what is about to occur before it does. And when this occurs, the students are probably not going to be learning much, if anything. Judges have gotten bored with these types of projects, and that's a major issue for students who endeavor to win prizes in their local science fair competition. After it's all over, this type of experiment is only really good for the parents who are helping out their child, and it may come as a surprise to learn that these kinds of projects are not particularly cheap!

What you need to establish is a creative and original science experiment, or at the very least a project that is better than those boring experiments. In addition to helping your child learn more, it can give the child a much better chance of becoming the winner of the the competition. Often, these exhibitions can include a prize{{{, and even those competitions that do not can often lead to a science scholarship when your student is of age to enroll in college. Those which do nothave a scholarship involved can occasionally lead to a science scholarship later on down the line. This is a nice added opportunity!

So what type of unique science projects are there? The internet appears to be a excellent primary alternative for ideas, however, given the widespread knowledge of this source, you can all but guarantee that large science fairs include a duplicate project, especially if you found your exhibit from a well-known science fair blog. Even when only participating in a small science fair, or an in-class science fair, you have to assume that there are one or two other parents who are visiting the same websites that you have. Don't forget think about the teachers and judges, either. They can spot a duplicate project a mile away. These duplicate projects mean problems for the judges, as this approach negates the real purpose to the science fairs: creating an exploratory project. The people who run these conventions are hoping for you to work on a original projectwithout repeating the same old projects. Also, you have to consider about what kind of experience your student is having. A competition is an opportunity for them to show their own creativity, and plucking an easy or inexpensiveproject taken of an internet site is not helping them out any.

One can visit the local library for books, or looking at downloadable ebooks as well. These are in general the more appropriate places for pre-made projects because there is more variety, in addition to a fewer amount of competitors will have access to each one, giving you a better shot at uniqueness.

Have your student plan their own experiment, or if that does not work for them, then have the child add their own input to some aspect of some other science experiment they have discovered. You can borrow some ideas from the internet, especially from the exclusive sites on the world wide web that have very solid experiments, and books or suggestions with more unique plans, but make sure to supplement them with an idea of your own!

If your child is in need of assistance on their science project ideas and you lack computer and spreadsheet abilities, don't be afraid to look an expert for assistance. Many of the members only websites offer very useful downloads like already made charts, graphs and spreadsheets and computer programs for your child's use. You should get assistance from an internet tutor, who are typically going to be science students in college who have the ability to assist you with some easy recommendations.

Everyone who has ever been to a science fair has seen the boring old science project such as the sanderupting volcano or the paper space project. These types of displays are very simple and easy from the parent's point of view, but these displays are very unwise choices for the students who must participate. Why is that?

These basic experiments are the type of experiments that are so ubiquitous that even the children understand what is going to occur. When that happens, then the children are probably not learning much, if anything. Judges have gotten bored with these styles of experiments, and that's a major problem for kids who endeavor to win awards in their science fair competition. When it's all said and done, this type of project is only really good for the parents who are buying the materials, and surprisingly these kinds of projects are not even cheap.

It is your role to find is a creative and original science fair project, or at least a project that is more educational than those repetitive experiments. Not only will this aid your child achieve more, it can provide the child an increased opportunity of becoming the winner of the the exhibition. Often, these competitions will include a scholarship or a nice cash prize{{{, and even those that do not provide one can certainly lead to a science scholarship later on down the line. Those which do nothave a scholarship attached can occasionally lead to a science scholarship later on down the line. This can be a nice added opportunity, and in addition to the high grades, the knowledge, and the experience your student is receiving with their entry, it provides you a wonderful reason to do something special.

What type of unique science projects are available? The world wide web appears to be a very good primary alternative, but because of the ease of use, one can all but guarantee that large science exhibitions include a similar project, especially if you took your exhibit from a popular science project website. Even when only participating in a small science fair, or an in-class science fair, you have to presume that there are a few other parents who are using the same websites that you have, including the judges and the teachers who are grading your children. These duplicate projects mean problems for the teachers, as this approach to the science fair buries the true benefit to the science fair exhibitions: having an exploratory experience. The people who run these exhibitions are hoping for you to come up with something original, on your own. In addition, you have to think about the of experience the student is going through. A competition is their chance to display their own interests, and selecting an easy or inexpensiveproject off of an internet site is not helping them learn.

You can check out the library for books, or looking at downloadable ebooks as well. These sources are in general the better places for pre-made ideas because there is a greater variety of choices, and a smaller number of competitors will be able to find each source, giving you a better shot at uniqueness.

Have the student create their own experiment, or if this does not go over well, then have the child add their ideas into some aspect of some other science fair experiment they have discovered. You can borrow a little bit of ideas from the websites, especially from the “members only” websites that have really good experiments, and books or suggestions with more unique ideas, but make sure to supplement them with an idea of your own!

If your kid needs help with their science project ideas and you are lacking in computer and spreadsheet knowledge, do not be afraid to look an expert for help. A majority of those members-only internet sites will give helpful downloads such as ready-made charts and spreadsheets for your child's use. You ought to obtain help from an online tutor, who are almost always biology students in university who are able to assist you out with a little easy advice.

No country is against the development of science and scientific research.

It has been recognized by everyone that without science there is no development.

Therefore, promotion of scientific research in all area is taken up seriously.

Research both in basic and applied sciences is essential to achieve national and international developments.

In fact, basic science is costly as compared to the applied science.

In a recent article on science for sustainable development published in Current Science (Curr. Sci.) Dr. I. P. Abrol mentioned that low level of funding is frequently cited as one of the major factors for the declining state of science in India.

Not only Dr. Abrol, many other Indian scientists used to tell the same ‘low level funding’ for the poor science in India.

It was the state of affair once, but now the situation is considerable improved.

All branches of science, agriculture, engineering, medicine, veterinary, biotechnology, nanotechnology, information technology do not suffer from ‘low level of funding’ nowadays.

In fact, most of the research institutions are not able to spend the allocated fund for scientific research in time.

Anyway much of the fund goes for salaries, some for the upkeep of the building and other infrastructures and the rest only is used for scientific research.

In the name of research projects funded by various foreign agencies and also the Government of India itself, amounts to over funding sometimes.

I still remember some of the World Bank funded projects in Agricultural Sciences.

Crores of rupees allotted to Agricultural Universities and National Agricultural Research Institutes.

In addition to it large number of projects in the name of National Fellows and Professor of Eminence are also in place.

Plenty of money for science, but no one appears to appreciate these good days of science.

We are certainly well off as far as the funding position for science is concerned.
We all know that the project fund is mostly spent for buying costly equipments which are invariably imported from foreign countries.

These instruments cost lakhs of rupees.

So, there are series of procedures to be followed for buying these equipments.

Tenders are called, opened, compared, placed orders, credited the amount in a bank and finally received the instruments.

Sometimes the scientist who placed order forgets to include a small piece of accessory for operating or maintaining the instrument.

While the instrument is installed, such mistakes are found out and intimated to the scientist by the installing engineers of the Sales Company.

They start thinking about the mistake so late and make a representation to the funding agency to sanction additional amount required for the missed accessory.

It take awful lot of time to get a positive reply, till then the instrument remains as a dead elephant in a corner of the laboratory which are not generally rat-proof and not even air- conditioned.

By that time the sanction for the additional amount reaches, and the accessory bought, the main instrument is damaged by rats which are fond of the pleasant smell of the plastic wires and chips attached within the instrument.

What I describe here may look like a story, but it is really not a fiction, but a fact which is always untold, kept secret and hidden.

Generally, no one question our scientists because they are in a higher scale of pay and position enjoying the perquisites offered by the government.

By that time, the senior scientist either retires or gets transferred to another institute.

The poor equipment becomes an orphan and no one takes care of it in that non-working condition.

Thus the fund for science is wasted once for all.

These dreams are known to the administrative officers and the comptrollers.

They try to underestimate the credibility of the scientists.

But that is generally taken as professional jealousy.

Anyway this is one side of the whole affair.

In the other side, the allotted fund is not properly released to the scientist to spend for his project unless and until he meets the administrative rules for buying the equipment.

If the Director or the administrative officer does not like a particular scientist, then the story becomes very serious.

Thus the fund is not spent within the stipulated time of the famous March end.

Knowing such difficulties scientists try to spend the allotted fund urgently by placing orders for easily available items such as steel almyrahs, fans, air-conditioners, refrigerators, plastic chairs, hot plates, room heaters, computers etc., etc.,

When I was a student and later a staff I could see truck loads of steel almyrahs, book cases, and refrigerators unloaded in science departments towards the end of March every year.

It looked very strange to me, but later on I could understand the circumstances under which they are bought.

Funding science is done by every government every year.

Who looks into the spending aspects of the funds?

Also who looks into the scientific research results due to such levels of funding?

The spending aspect is always looked into by the auditors checking the bills, dates and the correctness of spending according to the government audit rules.

The scientific research based on the funding and the equipments are not strictly monitored, although it is said that there are many committees established for this sake.

The outcome of scientific findings should have a direct bearing on the fund spent and the scientific instruments used.

But invariably most of the scientific research ends up in reports and publications either in Indian journals or in few so called international journals which are very rarely read by other scientists.

Sustainable science activity is desired by retired scientists, but I doubt that is possible to achieve.

Most of the scientific researchers are fed up over time and their thinking is outmoded.

They started with a sharp thinking in handling problems basic or applied, but over time their thinking lose the sharpness.

If you talk to any senior or junior scientists today, they spend more time in discussing their administrative difficulties rather than their scientific output.

Even if they talk about their outputs which will be a repetitive work or some one’s results confirmed.

These are facts every one of us – scientists – fully know.

Some of these facts are fashionably written in Curr. Sci. published by Indian Academy of Sciences.

When I read those comments, I feel very sad because this journal is found in libraries of almost all Universities of the world and also in the net free of cost.

The publishers of Curr. Sci. escapes cleverly saying that all articles published in Curr. Sci. especially editorials, opinions and commentaries, letters and book reviews are deemed to reflect the individual views of the authors and not the official points of view, either of the Current Science Association or of the Indian Academy Sciences.

Those who read Curr. Sci. journal knows very well the views of various scientists expressed in the ‘Correspondence’ section.

Exposing the setbacks in scientific world of India is a welcome step, but I do not know by doing so how many are rectified so far?

All the setbacks expressed make good reading, sometimes they are funny too.

The contents of the Correspondence section continue to be the same setbacks for the past decades and I hope it may be for the future decades too.

In a country like India, science and scientific research are not treated the way they have to be treated.

They are in the hands of the auditors who are not scientists but they count the money not the outcome of science.

In their eyes, whether one is scientist, business man or anybody – all are thieves.

Their job is only to find out the mistakes committed in spending the fund.

They do not know some of those mistakes are to be committed to carry out scientific research.

But who has to change the Government Secretariat administration which is still the same inherited from the British?

A new administration is absolutely needed for scientific institutions for better utilization of fund.

Indian science will remain with the same setbacks of the past decades forever if we follow the same set of account rules.

I feel it is an urgent matter the science administrators of Government of India have to look into seriously for the benefit of science in India.
