      Science is vital as it drives technological advancements, informs policy decisions, and enhances our understanding of the universe, improving quality of life. It provides solutions to global challenges, such as climate change and health crises, and inspires innovation and creativity in various fields.

      Science is important because it gives us a framework for answering questions about our world. Sometimes the questions might be very specific, like ‘how can we try to treat this subtype of skin cancer’ or they might be very broad like ‘how did life start’, but it’s all science. It helps us to solve problems across basically all topics and also lets us add to our knowledge in general so that we might be able to solve even more complex issues in the future.

      Science is important because it teaches us things about the universe we live in! Science gives us new technology (like cars or vaccines or even simpler things like wheels or cooking food), helps us make good decisions with information we can trust (‘how do we protect this endangered animal?’), and sometimes is just plain cool.

      The very word science comes from the Latin verb scire, which means to know. In other words, science is knowledge, knowledge of the composition of matter and things, how our bodies work, how we can harness matter and energy to improve our lives and how we can plan for a better future.

      There are two points to consider in answering this question… Science, like art and music, is a pursuit that broadens the individual and society as a whole. Society would be much poorer were it not for science. A more practical point is that science is the foundation of technology. Without a stream of new discoveries in chemistry labs for example we would not have the next generation of drugs. Without an on-going stream of discover the stream of innovation that we have got used to will dry up!

      Science helps explain how the world worked. We can use science to help provide solutions for the world and discover more things.

      There would be none of our modern lives without science. The computer you are typing on wouldn’t exist. The electricity that powers it wouldn’t exist. If we want to continue human progress, science is the beginning of every development.

      To understand how things work so you can create new medicines for diseases, improve technologies, and improve lives

      oooo…that’s a philosophical question!

      Science is important because it allows us to understand things that previously we wouldn’t have thought were possible to understand. Science doesn’t just sit in a laboratory wearing a white coat, science is trying things out in the real world, science is understanding people, the planet, and the universe, but also understanding the things that we can’t see. Science helps us remain curious, rather than just saying “ok, well i guess that’s just how it is”, we go “ok, so this is how much we know about this right now – lets see what else we DON’T know yet”. It encourages curiosity and ensures progress and prevents things becoming static
