What is Science?

Albert Einstein

The effort to discover, understand, or to better understand how the natural world works.

You can think of it as trying to figure out why or how the natural world works.

Anytime you ask the question “why” or “how”, you are being a scientist.

SAFETY!!!There are two systems to give you safety

information. In your home you have the Hazardous Household Product Symbols (HHPS) on anything that might be hazardous in some way.

At work, at school, or in a science lab we have the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS).

Very easy to use!
