Science classes?

[Pale Dim]

Well, I have a problem with Earth science, and I don't know why.

[JDog]

I have problems on my online earth/space class, its rather confusing.

Remember unless you want to become a scientist, science means nothing...but social studies, that is your most important subject. Cherish your moments in there and learn for those are what make you a quality citizen. I am not biased or anything  ;D

[JDog]

Thats what I say about science classes, its meaningless.

[chicknumber2]

i don't like science class any more cause i get a differnt science teacher evry time i have science and it's hard to rember who is who  :-X

Actually, learning science really does apply to one's daily life. We would not know without biochemistry for example, that we shouldn't mix certain drugs and mix drugs with certain foods. If one did not know chemistry, then chances are, you'd need some luck with cooking,, as even cooking requires a basic knowledge of chemistry.

And how about physics? That applies when you're trying to buy a car and trying to find out which one has the best mileage. It also helps to know physics when you're out in the wild, you can use physics  knowledge of heat to build a well-insulated shelter.

There are lots of ways you can apply science in daily life, people are simply a little ignorant and think science is boring. Hey, even the scientific method is useful when it comes to thinking about things in real life, like political events and an understanding of human behavior.

Hmm well subjects like Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology are also called Social Sciences so I guess you can make that argument.

I'm going to blissfully ignore the science/religion argument here  :D

The only science class I ever had a problem with was Meteorology! All those little triangle-dotted-dashed-lines and and circles and high-pressure, low-pressure nonsense drove me up the wall. I could never figure it out.

Biology, on the other hand, is where I'm a nerd. Literally, I mean, like lab assistant, taking inventories of vacuum-sealed dead rats on my off-time kind of bio nerd.
I liked physics, too. Once you understood the formulas and concepts, the math was sort of fun.

I love science, right now I'm in physical science and it rocks...we get to mix elemets and everything...

the only problem I have with evolution being taught is that they say thy can't say that one theory is exact. So yes, they say the Big Bang and evolution theories aren't the only ones, but they also dont mention a word of the Christian theories, so it's kinda still saying those are the true ones.

Well it is kinda illegal (most places) to do that because of the seperation of church and state. Now some Christian schools may do it but no public school will because it is illegal to discuss that.

[JDog]

I thought discussion evolution was illegal though...

No they teach it, heck in college I even took a class called Human Evolution. Which convinced me of it, even though I am a Cathloic, but I have also learned not to take what the Bible says literally alot of times.

[DW]

All I know is that in trying to keep things fair for everyone, they aren't making it fair for Christians.

[JDog]

I don't believe in evolution, but Im learning it anyway.

[DW]

yes, even if you don't believe in something, it's good to learn all about it. It's really hard to debate it if you don't know what it's about.
