Homework 1

1.) Science is a "tool" we use in order to explore things in depth. It's also a way to discover and develop new ideas.
2.) While in high school I participated in a program that pertained to alot of environmental science kind of work. It was a great experience because if I hadn't gotten the opportunity to go out and collect data in the forest, and learn about how important it is to protect our environment- I would've never realized that environmental science is what I wanted to major in, nor would I have truly understood how important. It was a very fun experience and I really enjoyed the hands on work that was involved. I've never liked doing science projects and that has honestly been the worst science experience I have had. I was never really interested or into any of it, but it could be because I was possibly not doing the right science project for me.
3.) While cooking I form a hypothesis about how long each food item is going to take, in order to try to have my entire meal complete at the same time. While doing so, I observe the food every now and then to be sure that I have cooked everything perfectly. Therefore I think it's fair to say that the scientific method is used throughout this whole process.
