Why study science? Science can be fun—and entertaining! At the very least, science classes are necessary to graduate from high school and college—which is valuable by itself. But the true value of high school science courses lies in learning something about the world around you. You may not remember what transpiration means, the exact distance from the earth to the sun, or what makes a chemical bond the covalent kind, but you'll have spent some time thinking about the world around you and how it works. And some day, when your son asks why there's water on the outside of the glass holding a cold drink on a hot day, you'll know there's a reason for it—even if the word condensation escapes you.
