2. The Practice of Science

3. What are at least five things that you like about science and scientific experiments? How would you persuade someone to like science if he dislikes the subject? Of the types of science we’ve mentioned, like biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy and geology, which do you find the most interesting and why? In a world greatly enhanced by new technologies (that are being developed every day) you have come up with a world-changing device that could change life as we know it. What is the device and why does it make such an impact? During an archaeological dig, a new species of intelligent life has been found deep within our own planet. You have been chosen to lead the expedition with a team of special ops and scientists. What do you find in there and how do you interact with this new form of life? You have been transported to another dimension! This world is similar to our own, but several key things are different. What are these key things, how did you get there, and how might you be able to get home (if you even wanted to)?
