Science is fascinating. My granddaughter like doing scientific expriments in school, it's her favourite subject along with math. I hope she keeps her interest up, she's in grade 1. She used to say recess and drawing were her favourites.

The reason science really matters runs deeper still. Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the  process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable — a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional. To be able to think through and grasp explanations — for everything from why the sky is blue to how life formed on earth — not because they are declared dogma but rather because they reveal patterns confirmed by experiment and observation, is one of the most precious of human experiences.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/01/opinion/01greene.html?_r=2&scp=1&sq=BRIAN+GREENE&st=nyt&oref=slogin&oref=slogin">As a practicing scientist, I know this from my own work and study. But I also know that you don’t have to be a scientist for science to be transformative.
