Question

Think about your own life, and the “scientific” inquiries that you’ve pursued. Can you think of examples where you have built on the knowledge of someone who came before you, and consciously taken it to the next step? Was this next step an improvement? Is there now a better understanding of this subject that you explored? Perhaps an activity you do is now more efficient, or you have created a better design? Write a paragraph about one or two of these experiences.
doesn't have to be a certain type of science.

Answer 1

Answer: A science fair.

Explanation: There was one time when I competed in a science fair, and it was a lot of fun. I learned many things and met many people. My experiment was on measuring the density of gelatin when at different temperatures and mixed with different solutions such as salt, sugar, milk, water, etc. This next step was an improvement because I learned many facts and a good lesson. All in all it was a great experience for everyone involved and everyone involved learned many things.
