Science basically means the study of the world and every thing that goes on in it. Science ranges from the smallest of atoms to stuff as big as our universe. There is nothing that science does not cover when it comes to the world. Some sciences focus on smaller branches instead of just a broad study of everything. Some are chemists and study the chemical make up of everything and observe how objects react with one another. Another type is physics, which also has many different sub branches as well. In general physics is the study of why things happen the way they do and how it affects the rest of the universe. It also covers why things are the way they are. I happen to know of two branches of physics, they are called experimental physics and theoretical physics. Experimental is the study of reactions between objects in the universe. But theoretical is the study of why these reactions occur and then they try to predict them. Other branches of science include Ecology and Biology. These two branches cover everything from animals to their ecosystem. There are many different types of science fields, but I only know a few. In general, science tries to explain everything that occurs in the universe by performing experiments in laboratories and observing them to try and find a pattern. My personal knowledge of science comes from my previous science teachers and watching discovery channel with my dad as a little kid and in middle school as well. All in all, science means to me the observation of causes and effects in the world around them and try to explain it as patterns.

re In my own words, I believe Science is the study of the natural world, exploring and digging deeper into answering the many questions relevant to what we know and why. Simple topics include animals, trees, clouds, the ocean, water; to the complex like cells, chemicals, Earth itself, weather, and electricity. Scientists, for many, many years, have sought to figure out why do certain things behave or react when say the environment or ourselves cause actions to them. Sometimes, we stumble upon something, and we question it. That is the first step of scientific observation,a method of careful organized steps which we apply and use to best answer our question. Science helps us understand this crazy and mysterious world, and what we do to adapt to it. If we understand, then we can act and serve what needs to be done. Say the weather is terrible, at least we know what type of weather it is and how to deal with it. It can also benefit us by knowing more about our body, how we work, diseases; this leads to medicine. Science isn't always accurate, like it was believed that the sun was orbiting the Earth and other planets; this was later proved false, as it was discovered that the sun is in the middle of the galaxy, not orbiting. But it feeds or grows on curiosity, which almost everyone has. We as humans have wanted to know and learn, and we still do today. That's what Science is for, and major accomplishments have been made due from the contributions in Science. It also teaches us through experimenting and recording data, that the result to a single topic in question might surprise us or is what we expected. The joy of this is it makes you want to find the truth and motivates you to keep going. I think that it is an important part of our life, since without it, we probably wouldn't have so much advanced technology, better transportation, what we should eat and not, how we live, and such. Science has grown that it is composed of different types of sciences, ranging from biology to physics. All of these deal with a specific aspect of nature, such as living or nonliving things, gravity, rocks, space, and motion. Without Science, we wouldn't be where we are now and that some concepts and ideas wouldn't help us greatly should we have not discovered or dug deeper into them. In short, Science delivers us what we want: to answer the unknown and fulfill that, then applying that knowledge to create a better society and people, and finally, change the world.

Science, to me, is the study of almost everything known to mankind. There are many subjects that are included in science, but what comes to mind first are the minerals from the periodic table. The fact that minerals can be combined to make new substances blows my mind. Science is the key to our lives; if we didn't have science then we wouldn't have phones, computers, ovens, etc. Science is the study of all life and teaches us how things work through hands on experience. Applying science in our daily lives gives us an understanding of how things work. It is the gaining of knowledge through observation and experimentation to explain natural phenomena. Scientists have studied the stars, plants, and humans to gain better understanding of how things function. For example, scientists have studied the human body through dissecting and experimenting. The word science comes from the Latin word scientia which means knowledge. An interesting fact about biology is one of it's branches, zoology, describes both extinct and living animals as well as their embryology, evolution, classification, and habits. Another branch is biochemistry which studies the living organisms and their chemical processes within. Much of biochemistry is the study of DNA. Biochemistry's primary findings are on medicine nutrients, and agriculture. I believe that science has benefited our word because it has helped us understand diseases and overcome them through science.

Science to me means many things. When I hear the word "science" it reminds me of math, animals, and the human body. There isn't one thing in the world that science can't cover. I think that it is very important and informative, it also is very important in today's society. Learning new things about our earth and off of it is really interesting and teaches the human race things that everyone should know. Science can help us discover new things about our existence. It is there to determine the life cycle on earth. We can experience new information about ourselves. We are educated on so many different things, for example: solar system, machinery, eco system, tides, health, chemistry, plants, and much more. Because of science we can sure thousands of diseases all around the world. Science is used every day by millions for so many things. Students are learning all different kinds of science, doctors are trying to find cures for diseases like cancer, and all the men and women who work on airplanes and work as teachers all around the world. Overall, science means to me that it helps people everywhere from chemistry to biology, there isn't one thing that science can't help us with.

Science is all the knowledge that people have gathered and discovered about the universe. It is a way of discovering what's in the universe and how they work today, how they worked in the past and how they are likely to work in the future. Science brings powerful knowledge where human beings can rely from it on a daily basis. It can be used to develop new technologies, heal diseases, and many more. The study of Science is broad; there are many theories and branches of this body of knowledge that has been considered as an important part in the lives of everyone. Some of the branches of Science are Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Geology, Botany, and many more. It takes a lot of time for scientists to discover and gather certain knowledges about the natural world. Scientists have probably tried a lot of experiments to solve or discover just one problem. Trial and error is part of it, and it shows that scientist are very hardworking. In conclusion Science is very important, because without science life would be very hard to understand. Science is continually advancing and expanding our knowledge of the universe. Science is ongoing.

When I think of the word “science”, my mind wanders to the way of life and how we as humans live. Every little aspect of our bodies is because of how science works. Not only does science involve human anatomy, but also how objects move, the formation of galaxies, and many unanswered questions about evolution. Science to me is just trying to understand the way of life. Not only is science about living creatures, but it is about the study of observations and expiramintation. Science has everything to do with reasoning, evidence, comparisons, data, and conclusions. Life is erudition and everything that comes with it. Science is a daily need, we can manipulate it to cure and harm our world in billions of ways. In the past 4.6 billion years, life has evolved and with no science, we would not be where we are today. Technology would not be the same, automobiles would be completely different or non-existent, our body structure would be distorted, food would be completely different; nothing would be the same without this form of art. Science is nothing more than the reflection of our mere spirits. We are constantly looking for new discoveries and other questions to ask ourselves, for example: Is there really an end to science or is it an on-going adventure?

In my own words, I think science is about nature and the world about how we have the world have seasons and such. Science is the building block for our world. Science is the key that people use to make for medicine and much more. Science is like math. In Physics we have to use some knowledge of math to make it the equation for the answer. Science is a way to explore the outside world. Thats what I think science is.

Science to me is the study of lots of different things, ranging from rocks and minerals to the human body to chemical reactions and elements. With all those different branches, you always find people that have certain passions for different fields. I personally really enjoy anatomy and forensic biology. Science is also about trying to finding logical answers and reasonable explanations to questions that sometimes can get out of reach of our knowledge.science is a very large spectrum going from something as tiny as an atom to an entire atmosphere, almost everything you can hold in the palm of your hand used science to create it. Science is everything and everywhere!

Science is one of my most favorite subjects, it is fun to learn about how everything and everyone works. I like to learn about how the human body works. I like to do hands on stuff, and learn how much our body has to work for us to live. Biology is the study of all living and non-living organisms. Biology is fun because you get to learn how your body works and you also learn what is good and bad for you. Being in biology will help me know how to keep my body in good shape. Biology is also cool because you get to know how animals work and you get to know all the adaptions and abilities that animals have. I also like learning about cold-blooded animals because they have some of the most amazing adaptions because most of them live in hot climates. I also like chemistry because it us fun to see elements being combined to make a compound. I like to see this because it usually creates a cool explosion, or just a cool reaction. I also like chemistry because it is cool to work with dangerous chemicals. Physics is interesting because I get to learn how all the forces affect the world .Science is also fun because it usually ruins all the magic tricks. Astronomy is fun because I get to learn what is above you and how it moves. Astronomy also teaches you how to determine stars and classify them. Science is fun and its packed with a lot of information which will help you in life. Even though i do not plan using science in architecture or engineering it is still fun to learn about all the mysteries in life.

Science is the study of the world around us and the creatures that inhabit it. All science is based off one basic principle the scientific method. The scientific method is where someone makes an educated guess called a hypothesis. Then they create an experiment or test to prove there hypothesis wrong or right. After observing the results of the experiment they decide if there hypothesis was correct or incorrect. If the experiment proves it to be incorrect then sometimes another experiment is needed. There is many definite kinds of science such as biology, zoology, histology, chemistry, physics and many more that cover every part of the universe we live in. Everything from the endless voids of space to the smallest parts of an atom and everything in-between is all science.

To me science means progression, because we are always making discoveries and advancing. If we did not have science we would still be cavemen with no idea about what we can accomplish. Science is one of the most important things we have. Without it we would not have an iPhone or any electronics. We would not know about cells or how life is made. Life would be nothing but boring experiences with danger around every corner. This would never happen though as we are always learning, adapting, and evolving. Which was proven through science so it is one of the most important things we have. It will eventually help us find cures for disease, and find a way to travel through time! Through the miracle of science, we have succeeded with many things. Plus we have improved upon others. We were able to make clean water and dispose of unwanted materials. If we could not do this then people could get sick and possibly die. We have come a long way due to science we started with simple but vital things like fire and created so much more. This is why I believe that science is one of the most important things we have. Without science we would not live like this with all our luxuries, and so for this I am grateful.

Science means a lot to me and to the world it helps keep us alive and progress into the future. Science can create a better world for us such as the usage of electricity. There are always chemical reactions going on, such as creating oxygen into carbon dioxide, helping keep the plants alive. Science is the way of life, how everything holds together, with the amazing tiny atoms that make up our entire universe. Science gets us to explore the unexplored in space, maybe helping us find new life forms if there are any out in the universe. It helps us cure diseases; it creates treatments for the ill. It helps us scan our bodies for finding diseases or broken bones inside of the human body. Without science we would not be alive, for the process of mitosis rapidly creating blood cells and almost every cell rapidly replacing the ones we loose. Science gives us the five senses, hear, touch, taste, smell, and sight. Without these senses we would struggle exploring we would not even see. I have bad vision and science helps keep my vision almost perfect because of the creation of the contacts. There is the periodic table, containing out elements inside of the world. Our world is created by these elements, and without many of them we would not survive. But even with all the wonders we have in the world we still have yet to discover more about the earth’s secrets.

Science to me is kind of like discovering new things and trying to find out why or how they work. Science is all based off one thing a question and having hypothesis or a educated guess to figure out if it is supported or not supported. Science also helps us with development because we are always discovering and inventing new things and we use science to figure out if the product will work or not. We all use science in are everyday life not just at school, you thing you could live with out it but you cant. from the moment you wake up you are using science your digital alarm clock to your weather channel you watch on TV and even your cell phone is using science. The modern world we live in today would not be so modern with out technology which is enabled by science, almost everything we use todays world from cars to planes to houses; they are all developed using science. I think of science of more like a way of life.

Science is the study of everything known to man. Science is the study of atoms to the deep dark universe that is still yet to be explored fully. Science covers almost everything. Science is also medicine and doctors who help save people's life on a daily basis. Science is the only reason that mankind are not in the dark ages and have advanced to having touch screen phones, computers and TVs. Science is also a profession for millions of Doctors, astronomers and ETC. Science is also our bodies, without science we would never have our five senses. Scientists have put together a table to label all the elements known to man but if we didn't have one element like oxygen or carbon everything would die.

Science, to me, is our understanding of life itself. In the beginning of time, we were just mere cavemen who just moaned to talk, we had no idea what was going on around us. We evolved over time to become what we are today, with computers, touch screen phones, etc. I believe that in the 1700's they had not even a thought of what we had today. I love science because it helps me understand what I cannot. I love to learn about the world and how it became what we had today, science explains everything to me always. Science, I think, is the most logical subject in school, besides religion of course. Science explains all other subjects in school for example art, history, and math. Science explains math because science is about the order of the world and how things fit together, or add up. Science explains art because of the colors shapes, lines, and amounts of paint you put on the picture. Science explains history because events in science like weather and diseases affect history, but science explains them. I really love animals, and without science, we would not know what they are, or anything about them, and we wouldn't be able to keep them as pets because we would be scared of them. Science becomes a part of everyday lives, science has provided us everything that we have calculators, paper, even food, because we would not be able to eat fruits and veggies if we didn't know how to grow them. Science is everything, everything that we have and everything that we do.

Science has helped save millions of lives because of cancer treatments, hurricane warnings and etc. Science is everything like from the solar system, computers, cars, planes, ecosystem, human reactions to biology and physics. All human accomplishments have been down to science like humans being able to fly to being on the moon. My personal knowledge of science has all been credited to school and some documentaries. The greatest thing about science is the never ending questions and answers. Science is not a perfect study, many great scientists of the past have published theories to be proven wrong by future, better equipped scientist. Finally, science helps figure out answers and get a better knowledge of the unknown.

Science to me, basically is the study of everything in the world works, living or not. How i think of it is if we didn't have science, half the things we use on our daily basis we wouldn't have along with cures for sicknesses and lots of other things. It's amazing to think that there can never be enough studying in science, there are always going to be things that they we have not found out yet and now that our technology is getting better and better there are so many things to discover. Science has definitely taken humans to a whole new level. We have set foot on the moon and launched robots to mars to try and figure out more about our solar system. We now know so much more about ourself's as humans then the average person could detect without microscopes to see how cells form and x-rays to see if all the bones in our bodies are in the right spot. Doctors have studied and done experiments on animals to get the exact cure for sicknesses for people to get better faster and even live longer and to reduce pain. When i think of science, i also think of math. there is so many equations to solve while doing a big experiment because everything in the world revolves around math. Its amazing how meteorologists know exactly what type of storm is coming when they are studying weather and where exactly its going to hit and the path its going in. They have to know so much about how hard the wind is blowing and what way and in a couple miles that pattern might change.

what i thimk of science, well when I hear the word science i start thinking about experiments crazy explosions and bigger things like how we defined physics how were able to take small things and make them look big or how we might not be the only ones in this world. science to me is really about trying to figure out if thier is other living things out thier in the universe because we are to small of a world to be the only living things in this galaxy or universe. science.... science is also how we learn about our own planet... the big blue? its bigger than we imagen and with science we can define many things and can or able to do many things. i think with out science we really wouldnt be know where in this world.

Science is the beginning of many things. It's also an ongoing study of several things. In the past, I've studied many aspects of science. cells were one of my favorite. It's the beginning of life. How each individual cell has so many different parts that all work together is pretty cool. I found it very interesting. Science can be the study of the earth; plants/rock formation, earthquakes, oceans, and other water ways. In middle school we studied the different "phases" the earth has had and what lived in those time periods. Animals, where they originated and how they have evolved is science! We learn what animals lives millions of years ago, what species of animals there are and how animals affect our environment. Science includes inventions. Medicines and scientific instruments that have changed the world have been invented and are ongoing study. Finding ways to cure diseases is science. Then there's medical science. The study of the body and how to take care of and save our bodies is really amazing. In 8th grade, we learned a lot about the body, our organs, how they function and what purposes they serve.

Basically, sciecne means everything to me. It can be about the stars, earth, rain, etc. I think of science like something you have to prove. For example, you must prove why rocks fall faster than paper or something. I think of science of trying to learn things in little steps; which we are only in the beginning and yet we still have a lot more to go further. So this is what i think of science.

Carlos Lopez said...

In my opinion, Science means the study of everything and anything in the universe. There are many deparments in Science that study one specific thing such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and so on. Science is the answer to many things such as: "why that thing is there" , "Why is it moving" , "How is it moving" , and "What is its purpose". Without Science, we whouldnt have many things we have today, like technology, transportation, and medicine. Without it we wouldn't be same, Science is a a necessity of life, we would not be here today. Every Year, Every Month, Every Day, Scientists think new questions, Discover more mysteries, and Answer the unanswerable, with each step we become more advanced in this world, who knows what we will accomplish.

In my opinion science is a very important subject. It gives us all an understanding of ourselves and everything around us that we come in contact with. I find it very important, especially in the world today, that there are specialists who understand our world and the way biotic things think and live and survive. Science prevemts a lot of sickness and crime and help provide explanations to many questions which I think is crucial in our society. Some people don't realize it but science has to do with every single thing we do everyday and its amazing to know how it all works and how it fits in to all the things we dont notice. Even the simplest thing in the day can be thoroughly explained by science. And yet still, while having so much knowledge about our world, there is still so much we don't know and will continue discovering and learning.

To me Science means the study of the natural world and everything around us such as the universe and far away galaxies to the smallest bacteria. Science is what drives the human race to search for knowledge, and how they accomplish could only be done with science. Science is so fascinating to me because it is present in everyday of our lives, and it helps us create medicine for better health, technology that connects people across the world, and makes everyone's life easier. In my opinion Science is what drives innovation, and technological advancement throughout history. Science helps us understand our complicated universe,and what we has as the human race have gone through, and helps us understand the unknown parts of the natural world. Science is helpful to me in life as it helps me evaluate ideas like you would in science such as cause and effect, and hypothesis and conclusion. Overall to me science is probably the most important subject, as it helps us understand everything around us, as it can all be related to science.

Science means to me as studying everything in the world and what they're specialties are, and an important study in my life. Almost a lot things i study in Scinece whether it's Cells, Genetics, The Human Body, Scientific Inquiry, The Geological Time Scale, Planet Earth, Evolution, Animals, Physics, Chemistry, Health, Biology, Oceanography, The Periodic Table, Ecology, The Environment, The Solar System, The Moon, The Sun, Astrophysics, Biomedical, Chemical, Medicine, Anatomy, Botany, or any other sciences in the world teaches me so much about why we need these things in mind. Some people in the world want science jobs like a chemist, botanist, nurse, doctor, or an astronaut because it shows that some people love science and how it defined them who they are as their occupation. Science is a study for everyone including me that everybody should keep in mind everyday.

To me about Science. I believe science is about knowledge and how it impact everyone and everything. There are variety of science to learn about.There are intersting topic like Psychology is about studying of the human behavior, their personailty. Geology is the study of the earth and how the earth function. Science explain how the thing work. I like it because it is very logical.

Science is asking questions and finding the answers. Science is knowledge gained by study. It is the study of all things living and nonliving. I believe it is a way for human beings to understand the world we live in and figure out everything that is going on in and around us. When I think of science I immediately think of a scientist in a lab coat mixing chemicals but science is so much more than that. Without science we would have no idea of our universe. It is the process by which we have come to know all that we do so far and also by which we will come to know more in the future. The scientific method has taught me how to make a hypothesis and conduct an experiment to find out if I was correct or not. Chemistry has taught how to be safe in a lab and find ways to make two or more substances react and atoms rearrange forming new substances. There are many kinds of studies that have to do with science. There are inventors and chemists, and archeologists and botanists and all are scientists in my eyes. I even think of doctors as scientists. Science is a subject where the questions are just as important as the answers, the failures are just as important as the successes, and the experiments are just as important as the results. It is a process and a journey where theories and facts create questions which then lead to experiments and results which lead right back to a new theory that is yet to be tested. When learning science you can never know enough. What I know of science is not even a fraction of what I can be taught although I know more than I think. Science is all around us. We use it every day and in everything from our electronics to our ways of problem solving. There is so much more to life than we could ever know, and science is the first step to figuring it out.

To me science is the study of the entire universe, most of which has yet to be discovered. Science ranges from the smallest of things known to mankind, like the quark, or the largest, the universe, and everything in between. It is not only the study of our knowledge and what we have learned, but the beginning of the beauty that our generation, and future generations may reveal. Science is also within ourselves, beginning with the blueprints for creating each individual, the DNA. Humans are constantly being tested on their emotions and reactions to medicines, the way they are treated, danger situations, and many, many more for the care of themselves. This is all to help find out the best treatments and remedies to help humans to feel their very best. Expanding outward, scientists have been able to carry their knowledge and collect materials from inhospitable environments for humans, such as Mars. Perhaps one day, we may be able to fly or rocket to other planets besides Earth and live or stay there over large amounts of time. Maybe their is other kinds of human, animal or plant life, out somewhere in the universe that humans have yet to discover. I believe that science is one of the most important things, because without it where would humans be? Science is the basis of our lives and it will be around forever as we slowly find and fit the empty puzzle pieces of our universe together.

what is science? The definition of science is:
The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. This is Google's definition of science. To me science is a variety of things. Science is an observation of substance. Science is everything. Everything we do in our daily lives has something to do with science. Science can range from something as small as an atom to the entire universe. Science is also a process of discovery that allows us to link isolated facts into comprehensive understandings of the natural world. Science is ongoing. There are so many questions that still haven't been answered. We still haven't explored the entire universe. There are plenty of unexplained things out there. By using our five senses we discover new things everyday. There are many different types of science. There's life science, biology, earth science, marine science. (etc.) Theses all study different things. Like geologists study the earth. Science is very important. Mankind has gotten smarter over the years because of science, It all starts with an idea, then a theory. After that you text your theory. Science tries to explain everything occurring by doing tests and doing experiments. Science is everything around us.

I think science is knowledge based on truth and fact gained from logical explanations, tests, and common sense. I also think science has a lot to do with the study of things like the human body, environments, the universe, and everything in it. Science is the reason for everything, and its also a way of understanding how everything came to be as it is. I believe that science is behind everything and that it contradicts many religions which can be interesting because I hope there is an afterlife, even though I believe in science which basically says there is no after life. Science reveilles many things that seem unexplainable. I know that science is in just about all magic because certain chemicals can do many different things that fool people. I know that I was created through the human anatomy which has a lot to do with science. Science has a lot to do with nature and foreign life outside of our solar system as well as all types of life on Earth. But overall I think science is being able to grasp or comprehend things that we as humans cant or have trouble with explaining because of immensity and such powerful forces and bizarre circumstances.

science too me means lots of thing ranging from how our world was made too what are the types of galaxies and things that arent even in earth.science is very important to me because it helps me understand more about ..well basically anything their really isnt much stuff out their that science it self cant answer. the way every scientist see things is with facts and not assumptions or belive.thats the beuty of science because you know that their is always a logical and more likely then not very interesting answer too any questions that you might have.science is awesome because it helps you understand thins like insects or how things or made and things likke that.itis very interesting to learn about how some chemicals react to others or how even the smallest of things are important to our everyday lifes.it makes you realize that everything in the universe was created to near perfection because even the smallest mistake or diffrince in a thing as small as an atom can cause a world of a diffrience.ibelife that science is a nessesary thing for everyone to understand even if it isnt always the easiest thing too do because at the end of the day the more you know the better youll be.

Science to me is the background behind life and our society in general. I believe there is a science for every kind of person because it is so interesting. To me it is one of the more meaningful subjects that we study. So many things include science but some people don't understand that, and the ones that do have way more knowledge than the ones who don't care about it. Knowing more about science also gives you a advantage in life because you know more about the Earth and realize the proper way to deal with life threatening situations. It saves so many people in the end to because we know how to prevent certain things from happening. Basically our world would be way worse if we didn't have science in our life. I love that we have the opportunity to learn some of these things pertaining science because we can use it beyond the classroom and maybe take the knowledge that we know into a career. It so funny how some people only think of science in certain ways but I’ve always thought that science is somehow always around me whether it includes chemicals to make things we use in our daily life or the nature that surrounds us. To me science is one of the most complex subjects that we will ever learn but I strongly believe that it will be worthwhile and get us far in life.

Science is the study of the natural world and all of the living and nonliving things in it.To me science is a variety of things including the answers to some of life's greatest questions and mysteries.It also means the exploring of the unknown and in our day and age there are still many things that are unknown.Science is the key to learning more about ourselves and our home.It is amazing because science fuels our imagination and determination to keep looking and experimenting for answers.The great thing about science is that its one of those concepts where you can search for something and find it and in the process you can also find additional information that could lead to something else. Yet another amazing thing about science is that it is all around us.Science is so important to us because its probably the reason we are alive. Without science and technology, our species would have died out if we did not have the proper medicine and evolutionary techniques that have gotten the human race so far.Science is also important to me because without it we are all lost.We would have no idea about where we came from or how to protect ourselves against the harsh realities of life and of our environment.Our lives would not be as domestic as they are now if it were not for the concept of science.

Science to me is the way of explaining things that go on in our everyday life, that we generally do not take the time to think about. Science can go from the types organelles in a cell, to why parachutes work, it is an amazingly broad perspective that is way to vast to understand completely. I think that science is important because it explains why things do what they do in everyday life, and the more we understand it the more we can begin to manipulate it and change it to make our life easier. How much I know about Science, compared to how much there is to know, and in fact how much I would like to know it is very little. During middle school we learned the basic way our bodies function, and physical forces, and a bit of astronomy and chemistry, this year I hope to focus on more interesting and submerging topics that will be desired to be learned, and not forced to be. I think this class is going to be very interesting to open up new subjects, or areas of thinking that I have never even BEGAN to think of, and that is why I am looking forward to this year.

Science is how everybody everyday gets to places whether you’re on a bike or driving a car every day we use science. We use science to ride a bike or riding a skateboarding everything involves science. It is amazing how things are engineered or created that everybody calls it science. I like science I think science is really cool, I use science daily every day because science is fun for an example science is fun I enjoy science when I’m riding a bike or even a skateboard because it is my hobby and all the tricks I do involve science. Without science I wouldn’t know how I would be able to live my life because science to me in my opinion is amazing and the best

Science is a fun way to understand the world. It allows me to connect with the modern society, everything is science. There are many branches of science, that allow you to do and understand different intervals. Some of these branches include Biology, Geology, Chemistry, zoology, Archaeology, Physics, and many, many more. Biology focuses on the study of Life. Geology focuses on the study of Earth/Rocks. Chemistry focuses on the study of the periodic table. Zoology focuses on thr study of animals, their behaviors, and habitats. Archaeology focuses on the study of Ancient fossils and cultures. Physics focuses on the study of energy, matter, motion and force.(Star Wars)A man once told me, "May the force be with you."

Without science we would be blind to the everyday world. I'm so glad that science is and allways has been in my life and evolving, getting more advanced. I love science.

Science really means a lot too me. It's not just the way things effect each other, its the way things can effect me, and how I can effect them. Its also why we can heal from cuts or broken bones. Science is everywhere(obviously) and it is literally in everyone, its how blood flows and skin is always changing. Science is the way we get to school, like cars running on gas, the way bikes go. Without science we wouldn't know how anything worked or why we do things, and its cool how we don't even know everything about it, everyday people find out something new, or are trying to discover the way things can be treated. There are different types of sciences but they all have the same reasoning behind them, we all want to know something. We want to know why this makes that. Why do peanuts make this persons throat swell shut, while this other person is fine? without science what would we really know? To be honest, science is one of the biggest things to talk about, like human behavior is science, and maybe that's why Miley Cyrus is twerking so much, or why Syria's people are reacting in drastic ways. Science is everything and it means a lot to me. Its how the world runs itself.

I think science is the study of everything that goes around us and the world.science involves everything that we know of like an atom or a galaxy or anything you can think of.I think science is a big part of what we learn of because it really goes daily like for example when you think, science is happening when you think. theirs different types of studies of science which help us people understand the types of animals, plants, rocks or even what things are made of. If we didn't know the studies of science we wouldn't know how to make things that we love today.science also helps us find why and how our bodies work. science has really changed of how i think about the world. thats why I've always watched a lot things about science,and this is why i love science.

Science is to me, everything and without science we wouldn't have iphones/phones, electricity, internet, cars, good education, Television, and no entertainment whatsoever. I'm pretty sure without science we probably wouldn't know what the earth looks like or have gone to the moon. therefore, i am very grateful to have science. science to me is basically observation of cause and effects/trial and error. that's why there's experiments of trial and error. Another branch of science is to research things and develop new things such as the Iphone, this little device can connect to a satellite up in space and back to you or to another phone to send messages, it is way better than writing letters to one another and waiting days for the person to wright back, when people can text you back using the Iphone in minutes or seconds. To me that is Science in my opinion. (technology)

To me, science doesn't just have one meaning, it has multiple. Science is what makes us understand the universe, and not only that, many more cool things, such as animals and nature.It is full of wonders that are waiting to be discovered. It helps us understand a lot of things like how our bodies work, what's inside of us, and what its purpose is and how it functions. Science is really helpful because it helps people find cures to many different diseases. Science allows us to be able to understand the meaning of life and what our purpose is. We are educated about science in school and in the news, we are contently learning new things about science because its such a huge thing that we might never know everything. It's like a big brain that has a lot of knowledge and has many different branches that explain a lot of things. Science is like a key that opens up a whole network of information. Science never ends, we are always discovering new things that are extremely useful to us, it expands our knowledge. It's like a teacher, it gives us a question and all we have to do is gather our knowledge and find the answer.

To me, science means many things. Science is a complex subject with various branches such as chemistry, biology, ecology, and geology. In reality, science is everywhere and is the reasoning behind everything in the world. Science helps us by giving a logical explanation of why things are the way they are. All science is based off of the scientific method, which is the only way to back up a theory scientifically. The method involves creating a hypothesis for a question, testing it, and collecting data to come up with a conclusion. With science, we discover new things in the world that help us everyday. Without science and our understanding of it, we would still be living like cavemen without most things we have today like cars and cell phones. Us humans rely on science more than we think. For example, science is the reason why doctors are able to figure out if someone has a major problem and if so, why. We are alive and living the way we are because of science! Science is very fascinating and makes us strive to expand our knowledge. To me, science represents our development in understanding the intricate world around us. Who knows what we will know or be able to do in the next hundred years with our rapid rate of coming up with ideas and figuring out new things.

For me, I say science means one thing, the "finding out" of something whether just out of curiosity, or to help someone or something such as medicine or cures. But, with that said, there is a variety of types of science. There is different studies with different uses for each study. Without these studies, our life spans would be shorter, our entertainment would be limited, and are daily life would be changed in a drastic way. It explains different things that people have been wondering for many years and it makes the distinction of modern life and history. Science can also cause evil. It has made guns, nuclear weapons, and destruction overall in the world. So really, my opinion on science is split. I love my iphone, yet, science is not all that good all the time. My hope is, we as a whole, (everyone) learn how to come together and use science for all good to help the world, not hurt it. As a next generation student coming to grow up in this world, I can hope for a better world, but it's up to everyone (including myself) to keep it so that science can stay good, and not used for evil.

I believe science is a study of all the earth around us with old and new environments changing. What comes to my mind in science is not just a sloppy old textbook waiting for me to open it. When I think about science I think of all the minerals in the periodic table. Just knowing that minerals can be combined to make new gases to blow up is awesome. Science is a big part of our world if you think about it because the fact that we can use cell phones, laptops, and other electronics make science a big deal. Science is also a profession for doctors, astronomers, and more which I couldn’t imagine not having a doctor that didn’t know what they where doing as they gave me a shot. Now for how fast everything is changing we are learning more about our earth, diseases, and cures to certain things that we haven’t discovered yet. So you can see how broad science is and how it could be considered as an important part of lives whether you think you use it or not.

Science to me means the study of the whole world. Everything in the world can be broken down and examined by using science. Science has helped advance our civilization in education, technology, and medicine. I love science because of the breakthroughs in medicine and technology. The advancements that the world has made in even the past twenty years is stunning. For example twenty years ago a torn ACL could end an athletes career, last football season Adrian Peterson had one of the greatest seasons in NFL history, just nine months having surgery repairing a torn ACL. Without science we wouldn't understand anything so we would be just uncivilized cavemen living in caves not knowing what fire is.

Science is the study of the known universe and things that must exist. The one question that has fuled scince for ever is, WHY? Why don't we fly? Why does this happen? Why are things the way the are? Why is people trying to figure out the world. Science is also exploraton and reteving samples so we can better understand our evorment. the reaty is that we may never know every thing.

I think that science is the most important thing humans have dicsovered. Science have a influence on everything from the computers to the universe. it can be the study of everything with the natural world. From the enviroment we live in to the things humans have altered. annother way you could describe science is the way we as humans answer questions we have. science includes many different ways of studying things. there is zoology biology geology microbiology phiscics is evan a study of science.
