Why is Science so important?
Why is Science so important?
1. A basic human motivator is to try to understand WHY. Why did something happen? How does something work? Curiosity about the world around us, about what makes it and us TICK is at the foundation of invention, of creativity. Teaching science well can nurture that curiosity, can satisfy some of that yearning to understand WHY. Understanding why a year is what it is for us on planet Earth feels good. Understanding how organisms are all connected by the long thin thread of evolutionary change gives depth to our sense of stewardship of the Earth.
2. Having a methodology to turn our native curiosity into knowledge gives us the power and possibility of invention, of finding solutions to problems.
3. A knowledge and love of science is the ultimate equalizer, the pathway to human rights and a better quality of life. Countries with strongly supported science programs are better off economically, have greater numbers of people creating new technologies.
4. Our knowledge of how and why things are the way they are in the natural world is our greatest natural resource, second only to water. The way we acquire that knowledge and understanding, called the scientific method, is not difficult, nor does not require memorizing a list of words: observations, hypothesis, experimentation, interpretation. These are simply ways we go about learning.

Mother (Poem)
Mother
Mother is a representative of GOD,
She is above all.
Father and brother, sister and other,
Mother is mother rather than other.
She has been called by so many names,
Mom, Mum, Mummy, Maa all are same.
She is like an ocean,
She is full of emotions.
Her sayings are old,
But old is always gold.
We should love her, we should obey her,
She is the one who gave us birth.
I love my mother,
No one like her another.
She loves me in such a way,
I have no words to say.
Her love is true, this is my view,
Mother is mother rather than other.
