Where will we live? Santa Maria Crater, Mars. Photo taken by Nasa’s Mars exploration vehicle. Dec, 2010

Where did we come from…..and where are we going?

James Ussher, Bishop of Armagh, Ireland The first day of creation began on the night preceding October 23, 4004 BC

What was actually happening between BC? Human beings learned to grow crops and settled down in settled communities Rice began to be cultivated in China The wheel was developed in India Humans had learned to brew beer

It was assumed that all species were created in one instant… Archeopetryx fossil

Charles Darwin ( ) Evolution through natural selection

The Voyage of HMS Beagle

Good stories need to connect to broader themes Explain the science What theories are being tested? What are the prevailing theories? What experiments are being used to test the theory? To do this, you need to understand some of the science

Good stories need human beings, doing things, saying things, thinking things Scientific concepts are abstract; science stories need to make these come alive

Understanding the science Talk to the scientist..ask them to explain in lay terms Read: you might find high school text books useful.

Course work One feature length science story ( 1,500-2,000 words) on the work of a scientist in Hong Kong We will maintain a blog on science news: each of you will contribute two or three short stories during the course Every class, each one of you will talk about the latest stories in a science magazine: Nature, Science, Discover, Scientific American, New Scientist Read Michio Kaku book for book report

Homework Do the assigned readings Think about your feature One person lead discussion for tomorrow’s class
