Science is important to humans. It is a subject that teaches critical thinking and problem solving in a very applied way. Applied
Science is all sciences "rolled" into some product or principle that we use every day. Applied science can be found in
all sciences. Science and math is a reminder that two fields work together to solve problems. Physics explains the natural world

Environment reflects technology's affect on the living planet.
In the Classroom
Students learn hands-on activities what science is and how it is very important in any study of science. Students trace the steps
of some of the classic experiments in science; learning how problems have been solved. They learn how the principles of
physics can help them understand the physical world. Mechanics and physical forces are the focus for
modern technology.
Students will see how simple machines work, as well as exploring electricity, magnets, lasers, space travel, and other
technologies. Students are also introduced to the effects of technology on our planet.
