Science is important because of predictions. If someone knows that something bad will happen, like an earthquake, they could save a lot of lives. There were a lot of predictions about space. Some of them were right and some were wrong. But they tried and they found out about space and the basic planets and how far away they are from earth.
Science is all about predictions.
People make them all the time. It is in our everyday lives. On Thanksgiving Day the first thing I say is that I'm thankful for is science. Science also controls the way we eat, drink, move, live and more. New discoveries are made every day, faster cars, bigger T.V.s, smaller computers with even more memory, larger fruits, greener vegetables, new medication and longer longitude of life.
