-Science, to me, is the study of life and how everything works together to produce the environment we live in. It is experimenting with things we use in our everyday lives to make our lives better. 

-I haven't ever really had a good Science teacher, so I have never really enjoyed it. I was taking a Science class at WNMU and we went outside and picked different leaves and flowers. We took them back to the lab and tested for different pigments. It was really cool to see the different colors that made up the leaves. 
 My teacher at WNMU was really boring and would talk a bunch about how she used to be a better teacher. This just gave me a bad attitude towards science, biology in particular. 


-I think everyone uses the Scientific Method to fix problems in our everyday lives. One example of me using it would be when my car's heater broke this winter. I first made the observation that it was not working. So I asked a question, "Why wasn't it working?". I made a hypothesis that maybe the thermometer was broken in some way. I wouldn't say that I did the experiment to find if my hypothesis was correct or not, (I left that up to our mechanic!) but I was right. He concluded that my thermometer was off, causing the car to think that it was heated up, when it really wasn't.

  1. Nice job - this would have received a 2 - meets expectations. I am not grading this one but will grade other blogs in the future.
