Science:
What is science? Why should we study science? How is science important in our lives? Those are the types of questions we were asked today in Mr. S’s science class. The definition of science that he gave was, “A way of learning about the world through observations and logical reasoning, something that allows for growth and change as new ideas are explored.”
This is why I love science, there is no right answer. The world of science is not black or white; it is a world of colors. Science is a subject where there is infinite number of objects to research, observe, and explore. Living on this planet surrounds us with an overwhelming amount of questions and issues that we have to figure out to improve our own lives. At the moment there are only two types of braches of systematic observation. Pure Science is one of the branches and Applied Science being the other division. Both branches of systematic observation are here to improve our lives. However, Pure Science is the division that is taught on more of a classic level, commonly referred to the scientific method. Many times in a science classroom you are taught that systematic observation is the only way to complete a lab, as I’ve learned today that statement is not correct. Mr. S declared that there is not only one why to observe this world but many, each person has their own unique way of doing it. Applied Science is also a very common way to study our planet. This usually involves taking new technologies and piecing together what we have learned to create a whole new outlook. Creating an environment of where we learn this type of material is very important to me. I feel that when we learn about science we learn how to study our own lives and improve it in our own way.
