The True Meaning of Science.

Science is the means by which we come to understand the world. When I think of science I tend to think only about science fairs, labs, and the facts that come from experiments. But depending on what you do with it, science is much more. Scientist create science from wanting to know why the world is the way it is but, I think scientist have that desire because they want to see how that can impact and improve the world.
For example, we constructed paper air planes because we wanted to know which model of airplane would go the farthest. From our experiment, you could use similar methods and designs to create a more efficient plane. This would help improve our world and maybe effect the way the plane runs causing less accidents and deaths. Therefore science is the methods to understand and improve our world.  To see ways Science effects your life daily go to

  1. I definitely agree. I like that you added that scientist experiment with science because of their curiosities with what they are experimenting. The same is also true within many people lives and their occupation. I think that when someone is really passionate about what they do, they end up become very good at it and in science this means discovering and experimenting with many things.
