Science Meets Real Life

Whether you think of yourself as an up and coming scientist or
not, you use science every day. You will explore how you apply
different aspects of science in your daily life in a two part
project. In 1,500-words (minimum), discuss the following:

PART I: SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Each and every day, we are faced with having to make split-second
decisions, and the need to solve random problems that we encounter.
To reach those decisions and work those problems out you are
subconsciously using the scientific method. Apply the five steps of
the Scientific Method to two situations that could occur in your
everyday life. Use the scientific method in the first scenario
provided below to solve the problem at hand. Please come up with a
second detailed scenario on your own and follow the same steps in
the scientific method to find a resolution.

Scenario 1: You arrive home late at night. You walk up to the front
door, unlock it, and reach in to turn on the light switch located
just inside the front door. The light does not come on! Now
what?

Scenario 2: Develop your own detailed problem/observation and apply
the scientific method to solve.

PART II: WHY I CANNOT LIVE WITH/WITHOUT SCIENCE

As you have seen throughout this course, science is intricately
interwoven with our lives: in the food we eat, in the clothes we
wear, in the computers we use for this course, science has had a
hand in them all. Answer the following questions:

Describe a typical day in your life from the time you wake up,
until the time you go to bed. Describe how science impacts you and
your routine throughout the day.
How has science improved your quality of life and why?
Are there any negative impacts that science has had? What are they
and why?
Do you believe that you could survive without science? Why or why
not?
How has this course impacted the way you view science?
Your final project should be a minimum of 1,500-words written in
APA style format. As always, be sure to provide appropriate
citations, references, and links to any information you use in this
paper. Be sure to also avoid copying and pasting large sections of
text from any given source. For help with citations, refer to the
APA Quick Reference.”
