A good post - this is the type of detail I am looking for - this would score a 3/3
Science to me is like experimenting with different things. You make observations of what you think is going to happen given a situation and then you wait and you see the results and you write what you observe then and if your predictions were right. It's a way of knowing and understanding more about I guess everything. Honestly, I do not enjoy science very much but I took one of the other physical science classes last semester and it was a lot better than just a regular science class. I tend to do better when I do things hands on, which we did a lot in that class and I'm sure it will be the same here. Last semester we did this project where we had a system in the body and we had to create a power point for it make a written out plan of how we were going to teach it, and we also had to have an activity to go with it. We were in groups of 4 and we each had to present a certain part of our system. I don't like getting up in front of people and talking/ presenting but that was not that bad and it actually helped me a lot. I am not really sure if I have a bad experience, like I said science is not my favorite subject, so usually I just put the effort I have to and nothing more, but with these physical sciences I really tried to go above my own expectations. I also do not think I used a scientific approach in my life to help me out, unless I did not realize. Well I do not know if this counts, but my sister had a baby in November and a few days before we all made predictions about when he was going to be born and how much he was going to weigh. We looked out how it was her first child, and usually they are late or the mother is in labor for a long time, we also looked at how big he was then and how much we think he would grow. We each put in a dollar and who ever was right got all the money. We observed my sister and the baby to make predictions about when he would be born, so in a way, I guess that was a scientific approach.
