Essay SCIE1000 – Python and Communication Assignment – Case Study – Science Assignment Help

Assignment Task

The scenario A public science museum in St Lucia is planning to update its exhibit. A feature of the museum is that each exhibit item is accompanied by two explanations, each written for a different audience. One explanation is pitched to the “science rookie” and the other to the “science enthusiast”. Patrons read the explanation tailored to the level at which they feel most comfortable. Some characteristics of a typical audience member in each category are described.

Patron Type – Science Rookie

Typical characteristics – Not familiar with scientific terminology or notation; will need terminology explained using a simple vocabulary; is unfamiliar with graphs; may be a younger person, possibly 10+ years of age; likes to press buttons.

The museum is planning an exhibition called “Mother Nature, the Mother of Invention.” The topic is biomimicry, and the aim is summarised in the following passage from the exhibition prospectus: With this exhibition we aim to instil in our patrons a sense of wonder at the abilities displayed by animals to withstand harsh environments.

Patrons will learn about mechanisms by which certain animals can improve the survivability of a group as a whole, and consider possible developing technologies that mimic these natural behaviours.

An overview of the task You will write an interactive Python program that will run on a machine in the exhibition hall at the new science museum, as part of this exhibition. Your program will guide users to a better understanding and appreciation of how and why emperor penguins form huddles. The information you need to create the relevant models is provided in Section 5 of this document, and a high-level overview of how to complete the task is provided in Section 6.

This assignment requires you to produce and deliver two items:

(D1) A Python code file that satisfies the specifications in Section 7. This includes following the logical flow laid out in the flow chart.

(D2) An audio-video screencapture file (3-4 minutes long) in which you show your code and communicate the overview of your approach to museum staff who will need to maintain your code.
