My Comment About "The Making of A Scientist"

All I can say about this article is that I was really amazed of what the four Filipina scientists answered in some questions that were asked to them. They are true from what they are saying because a real scientist must be honest. I agreed on what the four scientists answered in the question if they will send their children in science schools. They are correct because a person's intelligence does not depend on what kind of school they are entering. The students are the one who must choose their kind of life as they entered school. If they don't want, then why would you insist them? But it's really okay to enter these schools because you will discover and learn many things. I also agreed to what they said about giving an advice to science teachers especially from what Dr. Binag and Dr. Soriano said, which is don't let students memorize some things but to learn the concepts and the other Filipino teachers must stayed here because the science teachers are nearly an endangered species. All the scientists, Dr. Christina Binag, Dr. Gina Dedeles, Dr. Maricor N. Soriano and Dr. Elaine Tolentino and also Dr. Wilfredo, Barraquio, who got the Hugh Greenwood Environmental Science Award, are great scientists.

Poultry is now a common business for everyone. any housewives are inclined in this business. Many poultry owners got a problem on the kind of food that they need to use. They also had a problem regarding the kind of vitamins and supplements they will use in their animals. In relation with this, a study was conducted to help the poultry owners to solve their problem.

Twenty five chicks were gathered and fed in each trial. In their first week, they ware fed with the starter fees. After that, the initial weight were gathered before feeding them with the spirulina. Three trials were made. The chicks were given equal amount of chicken grower feeds. The chicks were separated into five groups with five chickens in each group. The chicken in Group A is the controlled group while the chickens in the remaining four groups are fed with ground spirulina. Two and a half tablets were given to Group B, five tablets to Group C, seven and a half tablets for Group D and ten tablets in Group E. The mass of each chicken was gathered during the first week up to the third week. The mean was computed for each chicken.

Comparing the data gathered from the controlled and the experimental group, it is revealed that spirulina can be an addtive or a food supplement on forty five day broiler chicken.
