    Boundary-work is part of science studies. In boundary-work , boundaries, demarcations, or other divisions between fields of knowledge are created, advocated, attacked, or reinforced. Such delineations often have high stakes for the participants, [ 1 ] and carry the implication that such boundaries are flexible and socially constructed .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  5. Manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold

    Two manifolds with boundaries can be glued together along a boundary. If this is done the right way, the result is also a manifold. Similarly, two boundaries of a single manifold can be glued together. Formally, the gluing is defined by a bijection between the two boundaries [dubious – discuss]. Two points are identified when they are mapped ...
