 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?
