Why we learn science?

Science is the STUDY of the world around us - by learning science you learn HOW to study and learn (the scientific method, experimentation, research, etc)

Science is the study of the WORLD around us - you learn all about the world that we live in - how things work, what living things there are, how things happen, etc

Science helps you to become less gullible - there is a lot of WRONG information on the television, the internet, and in rumors - if you learn the truth by learning science, you won't fall for all those scams, cons, hoaxes, and quack medicine schemes

BIOLOGY - this is the study of anything that is alive; there are many sub-categories like microbiology, botany, and zoology:

• learning how living things work helps you to understand your own body and your health
• learning how living things survive helps you to understand why people act the way they do
• learning how living things are all connected helps you to see why it is important that we preserve our planet

PHYSICAL SCIENCE - these are the sciences that study nonliving things, including astronomy (studying the stars and other planets), earth sciences (geology, meteorology, oceanography, etc), and physics: 

• learning how the universe works helps you to understand why things happen
• learning how the earth is made helps you to understand why the world is the way it is
• learning how the earth works helps you to plan and survive natural events like earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis
• learning how the universe works helps you to see connections between all things

SOCIAL SCIENCE - these are sciences dealing with human beings; some examples of social sciences include anthropology, geography, economics, and history: 

• learning how people interact helps you to get along with others better
• learning how the world works helps you to be more successful
• learning what people have done in the past helps you to avoid making the same mistakes and to see new things that could be tried in the future
• learning how people in different cultures live helps you to understand them and avoid conflicts
