  2. Good Vibrations Physics is Phun November 2006

  3. Aims or Goals of Science: • Learn all there is to know about the universe. • Rearrange it to suit our needs.

  4. Three Main Sciences: If it bites and scratches, it’s biology. If it stinks and pops, it’s chemistry. If it doesn’t work, it’s physics.
