Extra Credit.

One show that i really enjoy watching is called House. It is about a doctor who is given the cases that others think are unsolvable. His patients usually have very rare diseases that other doctors would not be able to diagnose. This show relates to science in a big way. In order to be a doctor you have to be able to understand science and how the human body works. You need to obtain knowledge about cells and DNA. You must be able to explain the unexplainable. Also, on House the doctors write down the symptoms a given patient has and then they think of what disease they might be suffering from. Then they test these different diseases in order to eliminate some of them. The patient usually tests positive for something and then given treatment. Their process is much like the scientific method. With the scientific method you gather your information, form a hypothesis, test your hypothesis many times, and then draw your conclusions. This is much like what the doctors on House do. As you can see, the show House greatly relates to science.

This information really shows how you can use science daily in your life. Mentioning the scientific method was a good connection between the show and science. In addition, the large font makes the blog easy visible and easy to read.
