The work considered why students should study science at key stage 4 and defined the outcomes that are considered an essential entitlement for all students, as well as other outcomes that might lead to different progression routes.
The University of York Science Education Group (UYSEG) was commissioned to produce a science curriculum model for key stage 4, designed for flexibility and alternative progression routes post-16.
QCA is undertaking a general evaluation of the science for the 21st Century pilot GCSEs to help determine whether the new awards are meeting their aims and objectives in practice, and whether teachers involved in their delivery consider them to be an improvement on the current key stage 4 science qualifications.

 Origins of Solar Systems Program
It is proposed to consider both in situ surface variability and remotely-sensed middle atmospheric variability, in order to improve the characterization of short-period weather (e.g.,diurnal and semidiurnal components), as well as longer period (e.g., day-to-day and seasonal) variations.
To investigate the surface variability in the lander data, a suite of data analysis tools will be employed that are effective at determining the dominant periods of variabilty and in discriminating between periods having little spectral separation.

 Letter to Science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
If the IPCC conclusions are accepted by governments as being based on solid science and lead to global controls on energy use and generation, drastic economic consequences would follow, impacting mainly on the world's poor.
But even if a "discernible human influence" were to exist [16] in the surface temperature record, this does not mean that greenhouse warming will occur at anywhere near the rapid rate calculated from current climate models--although this is exactly what many will be led to believe when they read the Summary and altered report.
In the October 9, 1995 draft, the Summary of the IPCC Working Group I (Science) report claimed that historic temperature data "point towards a detectable human influence on global climate." After intensive debate in Madrid, this statement was toned down to: "...balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate."

 Science versus scientism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Where evolution differs from the other sciences is that it is trying to explain what happened in the past rather than what happens now and can be repeated.
Inductive reasoning is indeed proper (and necessary) in science; it just does not lead to conclusions with the same confidence as deductive reasoning or direct empirical observation.
The problem with natural evolution is its insistence that it is an empirical science on par with the other natural sciences, which it is not.

Michael MacCracken is quoted by Physics Today: The authors needed to "more clearly express the level of confidence in their results." According to a June 21 Science article [4], Santer "fine-tuned the wording to bring the report into line with the scientific consensus" (emphasis added).
IPCC officials quoted by Nature claim the reason for the revisions was "to ensure that it conformed to a `policymakers' summary' of the full report..." Their claim raises the obvious question: Should not a summary conform to the underlying scientific report rather than vice versa?

 Sonic crystals make the sound barrier (September 2000) - News - PhysicsWeb
Physicists at Hong Kong's University of Science and Technology have fabricated 'sonic crystals' a few centimetres in size that are capable of blocking out everyday noise.
Zhengyou Liu and co-workers found that a 2 cm slab of the crystals can absorb sound that would normally require a much thicker acoustic shield.
The new material breaks this 'mass density' law by at least one order of magnitude at 400 Hz, which corresponds to a wavelength of about 80 cm (Zhengyou Liu et al 2000 Science 289 1734).
