The question activity made me realize that in science, as in many other subjects as well, questions are important factor in the way we learn, and progress through whatever we are learning. Asking questions is vital to learning because it helps you understand in your own way, and may ignite a spark in others as well.
I think questioning relates to the scientific method because sometimes questions can be asked in a series of a steps, a smaller question can lead to a bigger question, which can lead to another question, and eventually in the end result you get an answer, or many answers.

science!
What is science, in your own words?
Science is the study of many different forms of life. Science is used to experiment and to learn about how and why life and its surroundings works the way it does. Such as, why is the sky blue? and why do we need oxygen? Science helps us discover and learn new approaches and predictions we may not have thought about before. Science is best produced when observing.
What has been your experience doing and learning science – write about 1 good experience and 1 bad experience.
I haven't had the easiest time with science ever since I've been in school. My bad experience with high school had to be when I failed chemistry my sophomore year. I had a difficult time with it, plus a teacher that wasn't helpful. It made me hate the subject.
A good experience I have had with science was the science projects I would do in elementary school. I remember making a fish tank with dirt, plants, and water out of a soda bottle in forth grade. It amazed me and was something I cared for a lot.
Describe a circumstance where you used a scientific approach to a life event or problem.
A life event in which I used a "scientific approach" to a life event or problem was when I was trying to find a product that worked best for my dry skin. I experimented with many different lotions and skin products to see which one worked best, and after many attempts, I finally found one that worked to my pleasure.

why I'm taking this class
The reason I am taking this class because it is part of my major, which is Early Childhood Education. My expectations for this class is to brush up on old science knowledge that have melted away from my brain since high school! :)
