One of the goals of Science is:

• To make us cry.

• To help us run experiments in our daily lives so that we can learn.

• To describe the world around us by giving us the ability to categorize things.

• Teach us about photosynthesis, the process where plants convert sun energy into chemical energy.

In terms of Science, an engineer would:

• Drive a locomotive which pulls the cars of a train.

• Dig up old artifacts that tell a story of an ancient culture from long ago.

• Study how potato plants would grow on the surface of mars.

• Build a bridge with bricks sturdy enough to hold the weight of trucks.

True or False: Science allows us to come up with generalizations about things that occur repeatedly.

• Naw! Science doesn't let us think of things generally, it has to be specific.

• You betcha! Science describes what goes on in nature, so we can make generalizations about what we repeatedly observe.

• Absolutely not. Only math allows us to predict what will happen next based on reoccurring patterns.

• True! True! Skadoo! The whole point of Science is to be able to look at things we know and identify that we know it!
