It is a stretch to say you "do science all the time...." Science, after all, ...
"...is a system of acquiring knowledge based on the scientific method, as well as the organized body of knowledge gained through such research." [See source.]
First, you are not acquiring knowledge all the time. Just looking at something, for example, does not mean you are seeing it. There is no recognition, no cognition; therefore, there is no acquisition of knowledge.
Second, and most importantly, you are not using the scientific method all the time. In fact, until you learn the scientific method, you will rarely use it...if ever. The scientific method is a formal paradigm for identifying the problem, collecting data, postulating a hypothesis, testing, analyzing results, modeling based on results, and making conclusions based on the results and resulting models. Very few people do that intuitively. For the most part, people make educated guesses and sometimes just guesses...leaving out the educated part.
At best, I think your teacher might assert that you "use the results of science all the time." Every time you turn on the TV or IPod, you are using the results of science for example. But you certainly do not "do science" all the time. Hey, even scientists have to take a vacation now and then.

Tell you what...you give 20 sentences, and we'll pick out the top 15!
But I will give you three ideas.
We may not recognize it as science right away, but it is psychology. When you you ask complete strangers to write an essay for you, they get offended and refuse to do it. You have already recognized that this offends people - you're making a judgement on people's reaction to this uinreasonable request.
You may also be doing some statistics in your head, estimating the odds of actually getting anything useful.
And perhaps you're wondering if you posted this with a name like hotsexy_chick would you get more responses (more psychology).

Okay kid, I'll get you started but you must do your own homework! When you wake up every morning one of the first things you do is brush your teeth. Why do you do that? What do you put on your toothbrush to cleanse your teeth? What is it made of? How does it work?
Now think about similar questions about washing your face, using deodorant, preparing your breakfast and eating it and most other things you do throughout your day.
