Show Notes

I was recently reading the May/June 2024 issue of "Science & Children" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.

In this issue, I read the "Science 101" section written by Matt Bobrowsky. He wrote an article entitled, "What Activity Can I Use to Illustrate the Importance of Math in Science?"

Matt summarized 7 ways in which math is not only useful but essential in science:

1. Being Clear and Precise

2. Measuring

3. Modeling and Simulation

4. Problem-Solving

5. Discovery of Patterns and Relationships

6. Verification of Results

7. Predictive Power
