Default Science Matters - Nice little article

But here’s the thing. 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.
Maybe science classes in school should be less like labs and more like Mythbusters.

That was a great article.

Got to agree with you idea too. Less stale bread more spicy fajitas!

And all the teachers should be like Kari.
