What is Science?

Science is a study of the world around us. Science seeks to answer questions. That is, perhaps, what makes science so complex. Science is a discipline unlike another, due to the fact that so much can fall under the title of science. From biology to geology, there is so much to address when teaching science. Unlike reading or math, science is constantly evolving and a requires the teacher to understand a broad range of topics. One can spend their whole life studying the complexities of one part of the brain, yet teachers must find a way to simplify the material and explain it in a way that allows young children to understand and connect with the material. Many people have a fear of science classes, yet science is one of the most exciting classes to teach and participate in. In a sense, science is everything and therefor anything can be made into a hands-on learning experience. I believe it is the hands-on experiences, that are vital when teaching science, that inspire students to investigate the world around them and see that science is fun.
