How Science Shapes Our Daily Lives

Science is all around us. It helps us in many ways every day,even when we do not notice it.
Technology and Gadgets
Science has given us amazing gadgets like smartphones,
tablets, video games and televisions. It also helps our
refrigerators keep ice cream cold and our microwaves make
popcorn quickly. Isn’t that cool?

Keeping Us Healthy
Science helps us stay healthy. Medicines and vitamins can help us feel better when we are sick. Scientists also discovered that tiny germs can make us ill. That is why we wash our hands with soap.
Growing Our Food
Science helps farmers grow bigger and healthier fruits and vegetables, so we have plenty of food to eat. It also helps keep milk and other food fresh for a longer time, so they do not spoil quickly.

Predicting the Weather
Have you ever checked the weather before going to school? Meteorologists, or weather scientists, study the sky and clouds. They help us know whether we need an umbrella or a sun hat.
Moving Around and Exploring
Science helps us travel too. Cars, buses, trains and aeroplanes are all made using science. Science even helped build rockets that carried astronauts into outer space and allowed people to walk on the Moon.
Science makes our lives easier, healthier and more exciting. I think science is amazing because it helps us learn, explore and discover new things every day.
