why do we have to study about science?

Answer 1

science means "the search for truth"

what you learn in science class is not nearly as important as HOW you learn in science class

it will give you a system of thought, and a rational way of solving problems in the rational world for the rest of your life

everything you touch in the modern world from computer to cell phones is a product of science

Answer 2

because if you don't study science, then you'll believe the idiots who say the earth was literally created in 6 days and that medicines don't work.

seriously, you study science because (a) understanding science means you understand the scientific process; (b) without science, you will struggle to comprehend the pace of change that is occurring today; and (c) understanding science gives you a basic literacy to understand technical issues that arise in everyday life. let's look at these.

first, understanding the scientific process is critical to understanding the difference between verifiable repeatability vs. whack nutball. when science agrees on a theory, it's because lots of really bright people have either repeated the experiements/calculations that are behind the theory OR because lots of really bright people have arrived at the same answer through different paths OR both. this is the power of the process - it's repeatable and it's independent of location or timing or person.

next, the pace of progress today is incredible. much of this is because of the explosion of scientific thought and development that is making its way into the overall society. computers, the internet, telecommunications, television and media - all of these are outgrowths of scientific development. in order to have a basic understanding of how these things work, you need to know science. unless your future life goal is to be a brainless reality show star.

finally, science comes up in everyday life and you don't even realize it. having a background in basic science allows you to see the wonder in the day-to-day. it's always amazing to me how guys will mock "techno geek computer nerds" but be perfectly ok with being able to rattle off the timing specifications on the engine of a '56 classic Corvette that they are rebuilding from scratch. both are outcomes of science and the scientific process. similarly, the people who featured on shows like "Pimp My Ride" are basically a form of engineer, a discipline that relies on the scientific process.

so science is everywhere. that's why you need to understand and study science.

Answer 3

What, you want to go through life believing that clouds are fluffy cotton balls, stars are pinholes in a big sky carpet letting the fires of heaven shine through, and your computer is a magical box that runs on fairy dust?

Or how about you don't learn chemistry, mix amonia with vinegar, and die in a choking cloud of toxic vapors because you didn't know that amonia's a base and vinegar is an acid, and together they make a salt and nasty fumes?

Answer 4

Science is defined as something repeatable; usually natural.
What people do with it? Make better homes, food and medicine. Even things like doors to protect yourselves.

Answer 5

science is what gives us people a common sense of knowledge. Through science many unsolved mystery have been solve.
