Science+Project

Why do science? I - the individual perspective In most cases, they're collecting information to test new ideas or to disprove old ones. Scientists become famous for discovering new things that change how we think about nature, whether the discovery is a new species of dinosaur or a new way in which atoms bond. Many scientists find their greatest joy in a previously unknown fact (a discovery) that explains something problem previously not explained, or that overturns some previously accepted idea. Why do Science? II - The Societal Perspective If the ideas above help explain why individuals do science, one might still wonder why societies and nations pay those individuals to do science. Why does a society devote some of its resources to this business of developing new knowledge about the natural world, or what has motivated this scientist to devote their lives to developing this new knowledge Slide shows:http://www.slideshare.net/ageller/scientific-method-steps-and-song
