Why study Science?

I chose to take this course because i think its a lot different than any other science class given as a choice. The ocean life seems very interesting; my brother really enjoys the subject and has told me a lot about it, because he minors in it at U MASS Lowell. There are so many new mysteries in the ocean that we still don't even know, because you really don't know whats going on down there unless you have physical contact with the marine life.
