Imagine one day, just one, without T.V.  or phone or lights.  It would be terrible.  Everything is science.  Without science we would have nothing, we probably couldn’t manage without science.  That’s why science is so important.

Science can be many things, from animals, to airplanes, to gameboys.  Science can be pretty much anything.  There is no end to curiosity and discovery in science.  It doesn’t matter if you made a mistake or were unsuccessful.  If you do so, don’t get discouraged, try again.  Even scientists aren’t always successful but they always try again.  You can learn from mistakes and try not to make it again.  That’s how they make discoveries.

There are many discoveries and mysteries in science, like how to cure cancer or how the Earth was created.  There are also discoveries of Global Warming.  Many scientists have come close to the answer but didn’t get it.  Scientists are always making a difference in the world.  Science has done many things for us.

Science is fun. You can try experiments and learn about many things.  You can learn about the parts of animals by dissecting them.  You can try experiments from books.  Most experiments are fun.  You may think something is disgusting, but when you try, it is fun.

You use science everyday.  There is always a bit of science in something.  Science is everywhere, everyday, at any time.  The most entertaining and useful thing is science.   We will use science forever.

We should be thankful for science, it is important.  It will always be there.  Science is fun, useful, and mysterious.  All things are science.  We should always appreciate it.

Do you know why science is important?  Science is important because you would know a lot more than you think.  Science is a way of learning about the life, the past and future.  The tools that we use everyday are part of science. 

In science you learn about the climates and weather, the different planets, and how far or close the sun is, about matter, electricity, and the moon and stars.

Science is everything in your life.  I bet the scientists use the five w’s and how!  Everything we use in math, social studies, reading and gym we also use it for science.

Science is also important because there are more things happening right now that we might be interested in. 

This is why we need science.  I hope you understand at least a little bit why science is important.

Science is very important in our world.  Science is life.  We need science for transportation, communication, and for medicine.  Over the years scientists have created inventions to improve our lives today.

 Scientists have made great advances in the fields of technology, medicine, and engineering.   Scientists learned about space, the planets, and the moon.  They think of ways to solve serious problems like pollution and preserving our natural resources.  One day scientists may learn how we can live on other planets.        

Scientists have helped us save our animals and wildlife.  Thy have made us aware of which animals can be hunted.  If that animal becomes extinct, they cannot be replaced.  Science helps us save these animals for future generations.

We need science to live.  For example, if people continue to cut down trees, we will lose our forests.  It will have a negative effect on our environment.  This is why we need scientists and science to invent and explore even more areas that can make us live a better and easier life.  Everyone in this world needs science in their own special way.

Science is such a valuable natural phenomenon.  The knowledge we gather is a beneficial way of life.  We need to know everything about ourselves and the world.  Science is important since it advocates us to learn how we hear, smell, taste, feel, think, and move.  It has assisted us to master how humans breathe, how trees breathe.  Does the food we eat have high sugar or low sugar?  What is in a tree’s food?  How does the earth and solar system exist and will it continue?  Science is the wisdom of nature and the universe.  It is the ultimate answer to all of our questions.

Science is great and you and I know that already.  One very special reason why I feel science is so important is because it keeps me alive but more importantly, it has kept my fourteen year old sister well.  As a little baby, she had open heart surgery and in two weeks she will have a pacemaker.  I can thank science for helping my sister feel better and be just like me.

 I feel that all people are scientists because we have all had the experience of wanting to understand why something happens or how something works.  Science is an important part of our everyday life and it can always be found around us. 

I think that the best way to understand why science is so important, is to realize what live would belike without science.  Here are just a few examples of why science is such an important part of our lives.
            Without science, most of us would die at a young age because we wouldn’t have medicines to treat diseases and illnesses.  We wouldn’t have lasers used in surgery.  In face, we wouldn’t have surgery at all because no one would understand how the human body works or what is inside of it!

We would never know if we were dressing appropriately for the weather.  WE also wouldn’t know when hurricanes or tornadoes are coming.  Maybe we would be hiding under our beds whenever it thundered or when it was lightening because we wouldn’t understand why it happens.

Most of us live in homes with lights, television, microwaves, video games, computers, and radios.   These wonderful inventions need electricity to work.  We can thank Benjamin Franklin for being interested in science and discovering electricity.

In conclusion, I think the best part of science is that there are endless possibilities in what we can learn and discover in the future.
