I think science does help us learn. I find it easier to understand how something works if I can see it in real life – like if you do an experiment about it, or set up a demonstration or a model of it.
Hopefully studying science will help you make informed choices over important things like climate change, alternative medicine, the use of animals in science, genetically modified crops and the ethics of what scientist would like to do, because sometimes, just because we can do things, doesn’t mean we should. Afterall, we all pay our taxes for government funded science, so it would be good if we all agree that its a good use of the money, and by learning about science, you can decide what is right to fund and where scientists should be more cautious.
Yes, science definitely helps. We live in a scientific age and much of what we use in everyday life (lasers, satnav, mobile phones, computers, engines, …) all are the result of scientific and technological development. Understanding science and what it can explain is a good way to get ahead in life.
From another point of view… science is a good way of learning new things. Children sort of do it naturally… they try things and learn what works and what doesn’t and then try to understand why. That’s experimenting! Scientists develop this skill making it more precise but ultimately just trying, learning and understanding.
Science also makes you think. In the same way that our bodies can be lazy and therefore unhealthy, the same goes for our minds. It is important to learn how to think and to get good at it. That way, we keep our thinking fit too!
A russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev published the periodic table in 1869. He arranged the elements in order of atomic weight. I think other scis made kinds of periodic tables before him but his was the first to be accepted.
i like you all in a different way because you all are into science but all different types and not just one that is what i like about all of you……… i hope you have fun
Hi jjfarooq and sunnyswagdon21, these are some really great questions. Why not ask the scientists them through the ASK icon and they will start answering you next week? Have fun!

do you think science helps children to learn and know about everything that goes on around the world, things we can see and cannot see?
