My teacher has said you "Do science all the time, but you just don't know the words to describe it yet"

Question

my question is do u agree? and if so then explain why you do. a paragraph please(5 -7 sentences). person who gives most details and is very insightful gets the "Best Answer."

Answer 1

Everything you do takes science. Breathing. Walking. Jumping. Letting go of a stretched rubber band. Talking on your cell phone. Etc.

Not even the brightest scientists can know or describe all of science. It's practically endless. You will always be using or doing science and/or related things, but that doesn't mean you will always realize that you will.

Pressing keys on the keyboard takes science. Every time I press a key, it warms up due to friction, makes a sound, gets pushed down because of the force of my finger on it, and then springs back up because of the elastic energy it got from transforming my kinetic energy. (Which becomes kinetic energy again when it jumps up.)

So yes, I agree that you use science all the time. You used sciene asking this question, and you're using science waiting for the answer. But neither you or I probably "know the words to describe it".

Science is everywhere, and you can't escape it (just like gravity!).

I hope this helped....

Answer 2

Tell your teacher to look up the definition of science. [See source.] It specifies using the scientific method to seek out knowledge. [See source.] Not even scientists do that "all the time." At best, non-scientists may continually use the results of science, like iPod and TV, but they do not "do science all the time" or even continually.

PS: You will notice a "thumbs down" on this answer. I suspect it came from someone who thinks she/he does science all the time...like your teacher seems to think. But, in the strictest sense of the definition, science is done if and only if the scientific method is employed. The scientific method is a rigorous paradigm and, generally speaking, ordinary people do not do it "all the time" or even continually. Look up the second source for this answer, which describes the scientific method, and see if you do what it describes "all the time."

PPS: Solving novel problems does not necessarily invoke the scientific method to solve them. For example, when a child's ball rolls out in front of your speeding car, you do not invoke the scientific method to decide to brake and/or swerve. Yet, unless you've avoided a rolling ball and the child that follow before, that's a novel problem you just solved...without the scientific method and, therefore, without science.

Answer 3

I believe I already answered this question but I'll tell you again. We use the scientific method by default when solving novel problems. I gave you an example using a car, if you're looking for someone to write a paragraph for you because your teacher assigned it, then you've got the completely wrong idea on why you are getting an education.
