Botanist, zoo director, orthodontist and park ranger. These are just four of the many, many jobs that require their employees to have a good scientific background. It is very important that children start learning science when they are introduced to other core subjects. If a child has a good understanding of science and scientific thinking, he or she can use these processes in daily life. Science is also important for children because it can open their eyes to a multitude of careers. Even students, who will grow up to work in a field unrelated to science, will still need to use the processes to help them make informed decisions. Science education helps families around the world almost every day of their lives. When a person cooks, plays video games, or reads late at night, they are using a form of energy called electricity. Today's students know what it is and how it works because science is still taught in schools. In addition to learning about electricity, children learn the scientific method which "not only makes science more accessible and engaging for all humans, but also more clearly and openly reflects how science actually happens" ( Paul Grobstein). In the scientific method, students are asked to use deductive reasoning to form a hypothesis. Deductive reasoning is also a tool that we use in everyday life. Deductive logic can also help students pass a multiple-choice test in any class. All one has to do is exclude all unreasonable answers, and then one is more likely to get the right answer and have simply used science to understand it. Many professions involve knowing science. If a child excels at studying science... middle of paper ... his other business is performing poorly in sales, he may feel that this business could also cause his business to fall. However, this is just one example of how science is used in other fields. As you can see, science plays an important role in everyday life. Science can and will help future adults understand their world, provided it continues to be taught. Science can help everyone and is used in almost every profession. Science can help students succeed in life and give them the chance to live long and happy lives. Future scientists will make this world a better place. /www.csun.edu/science/books/sourcebook/chapters/4-STS/bio-careers.html http://mastersinhealthscience.com/2010/25-high-paying-science-careers-for-the-next-decade/
