  Wow, that’s a really impressive question! We have science because it helps us understand the world around (like animals, plants, the ocean and the stars). Science also lets us invent lots of different things. Without science, we wouldn’t know how to build computers or how to cure diseases!
  
  The more science we do, the more cool stuff we’ll be able to do with it. One day science might help us travel to other planets or cure cancer!
