Science questions answered


  • What is science?
    • Science is the study of the world, and how everything works in the past, present, and future.
  • What is the goal of science?
    • The goal of science is to figure out life and the world around us and beyond, to explain how and why things happen.
  • How is science conducted?
    • Science is conducted through experiments and observations, that are then written down and repeated and changed if need be, in order to better understand how to do things, and why things happen.
  • What has been you experience learning about and doing science?  Describe a positive experience and why it was positive.  Describe a negative experience and why it was negative.
    • I have had an interesting time with science. Science is not my strength, and neither of my parents are great at it either, so all I really know about science is from the classroom. My favorite class was Biology, and I loved at the end of the year when we got to dissect a fetal pig, and see in front of us what we had only seen in drawings. My least favorite class was Chemistry, and it's because I am not that great with numbers. For some reason I had a really hard time with significant figures, and that test just was one of the worst things ever.
