      Hi bdevil,
      Well nearly every aspect of our modern lives involve science it some way. The alarm clock that wakes you up needs electricity or battery which is physics and we tell time from astronomy. Cereal you eat for breakfast is developed from natural food sources we need to live and preservatives to keep it fresh, this involves chemistry and biology. Traveling to school or work by bus train or car? That’s thanks to the combustion engine or electricity, physics again!. Have a headache or feeling ill? Thanks to biology and chemistry we have medicines. Then there’s things like airplanes, computers, phones, food, clothes,…. The list is endless! Pretty much everything we do/use has needed science in someway. Cool right?
