Is computer science a natural science?
Computer science is not considered a natural science, but rather a formal science. Natural sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics, study the natural world and its phenomena. In contrast, computer science focuses on the study of algorithms, data structures, and the design and analysis of computational systems. While computer science may draw on principles from mathematics and engineering, it is not classified as a natural science.

Does computer science count as a natural science?
Computer science is not typically considered a natural science, as it is more closely related to mathematics and engineering. Natural sciences typically focus on the study of the physical world and natural phenomena, while computer science deals with the design and use of computers and computational systems. However, computer science does have some overlap with natural sciences in areas like computational biology or environmental modeling.

Who's Asking? : Native Science, Western Science, and Science Education
Analysis and case studies show that including different orientations toward the natural world makes for more effective scientific practice and science education. The answers to scientific questions depend on who's asking, because the questions asked and the answers sought reflect the cultural values and orientations of the questioner.These values and orientations are most often those of Western science.In Who's Asking?, Douglas Medin and Megan Bang argue that despite the widely held view that science is objective, value-neutral, and acultural, scientists do not shed their cultures at the laboratory or classroom door; their practices reflect their values, belief systems, and worldviews.Medin and Bang argue further that scientist diversity-the participation of researchers and educators with different cultural orientations-provides new perspectives and leads to more effective science and better science education. Medin and Bang compare Native American and European American orientations toward the natural world and apply these findings to science education.The European American model, they find, sees humans as separated from nature; the Native American model sees humans as part of a natural ecosystem.Medin and Bang then report on the development of ecologically oriented and community-based science education programs on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin and at the American Indian Center of Chicago.Medin and Bang's novel argument for scientist diversity also has important implications for questions of minority underrepresentation in science.

Exploring Science Through Science Fiction
The material in this book forms the basis of an interdisciplinary, college-level course, which uses science fiction film as a vehicle for exploring science concepts.Unlike traditional introductory-level courses, the science content is arranged according to major themes in science fiction, with a deliberate progression from the highly objective and discipline-specific (e.g.Reference Frames; Physics of Space Travel and Time Travel) to the very multi-disciplinary and thought-provoking (e.g.Human Teleportation; Science and Society). Over 100 references to science fiction films and television episodes are included, spanning more than 100 years of cinematic history.Some of these are conducive to calculations (solutions included).

Is psychology a social science or a natural science?
Psychology is considered a social science because it focuses on the study of human behavior and mental processes within social and cultural contexts. It examines how individuals interact with each other and their environment, and how these interactions influence behavior and mental processes. While psychology does incorporate elements of natural science, such as the study of brain function and neurotransmitters, its primary focus on human behavior and society places it within the realm of social science.
-
