What is science?
It is simply the study of the world around us. We can act like
scientists just by observing the world and asking questions about
it. Then by doing experiments, research and collecting data we
can find answers to those questions.

What is the Design Process
The design process can be applied to any aspect of building or
problem solving. Follow these steps: Ask-What do I want to do?
What's the problem?,
Imagine-What are some solutions, Brainstorm ideas, Plan-Draw a
diagram of your idea, Make a list of materials you'll need, How
will you test it?
Create-Build a Protoype, Test it. Talk about what works, what
doesn't and what could you do better!, Make modifications/
adjustments or improvements to your design- Think about how you
could improve your product. Draw new designs. Make it better.
Retest.
What is Global Warming
It is the overheating of the earth's atmosphere due to excessive
amounts of Greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels: like Coal,
oil and natural gas. We need to demand that power companies use
less fossil fuels and more renewable-so-called;Green fuels, like:
solar, wind, hydro, bio, and fuel cells.
What can you do? Turn off the lights when you're not around,
ride bikes instead of the car, close the door when it's cold
outside, use less hot water, recycle more, switch to energy
effecient applianaces and light bulbs.
Can you add to this list?
