Importance of Science

Imagine taking yourself back to that moment that a man at there with a wooden stick rotating it on rock to find first it started to smoulder and then all of a sudden fire was discovered. Admittedly today e have much more sophiticated ways of lighting a fire but back then that was science first hand.

Today we have many people practising science in their every day routines in fact we are natural Scientists! Watch children around you and you will see that young children play like Scientists work, with investigation.

Science influences medicine, machinery, operations, business and a whole host of other things that mean it is of paramount importance in advancements in everything that we do. As humans we strive to find more effective ways of pushing, processing and making things easier or smarter and most of these processes are science based or science in its entirety.

We want people to understand that it is not just about new technology, inventions or new medicines. Science is about a whole lot more than that and to sum it up we believe that science is a way of helping the brain grow in finding new knowledge and helps us defeat our curiosity of how the world develops and works today.

Science is important because it has helped form the world that we live in today.
