Science

"Science is, at its best, a creative pursuit driven by a search for meaning and better understanding of the world around us" (The Awa book of Science; R.Priestley.Ed.)

Science influences our lives more and more each day and as we face the excitement of new scientific discoveries and the challenges these pose, it is becoming increasingly important that we equip ourselves with a good education and understanding of scientific ideas. A really good knowledge base will allow us to make decisions free of superstion and misinformation as the 21st century proceeds.
