Convincing others of science uses?

Science is what allowed you to ask us that question.  Its uses are everywhere.  Without it, we'd all still be cavemen hunting rabbits with clubs.

You mean for the science fair?  Try something stupid like the mating rituals of grasshoppers or something.  The stupid ones like that always win first prize whereas the really cool ones like nuclear fusion get last.

The most foolproof is the bird-dog training collar.  Place the collar around the neck of the individual you wish to convince.\n\nIf you find the least little argument to what you are saying, hit the shock button and hold it down until the argument stops.\n\nResistance is futile.

maybe with some images or a video clip of what you are trying to prove....or it could be something neutral, or related with what you are doing the documentary about..... For example, if it were about global warming, you could film some heavy traffic or smoke stacks or melting glaciers, etc....good luck.

ask for demonstration-might like it-does help

whether these are hoaxes or not, it pays to be cautious about matters such these because they will result in great devastation. \n\nthese ideas are around because people have genuine concern for these potential risks and not because they have "fun" tricking us. it is hard work to make a case for global warming that is scientific and believable.  scientists didnt become scientists to throw it all away.\n\nbesides, there is no short term gain to be had from spreading hoaxes.\n\nif a person doesnt want to believe in a undecided idea then fine... but others should have the ability to consider alternatives.

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask.  It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.  \nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice.  Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions.  Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

i dunno i've ran into some people on here like that but that's true how could you explain anything. science, no science is something people use i think to jump away from the fact that god does exsist whether they like it or not. i've tried to make people beleive in god but some don't. so all you can do is beleive pray for those people. HE IS OUR SAVIOR SO WORSHIP HIM! GOD BLESS.

When we put forth our answers with conviction & sincerity it helps , but remember our past impressions (record) plays a big role convince a person . also remember when you promise some thing to some one you are doubting your own capability to stand true to your word.Your words should make others take your statements on face value ( no pleading no begging) it is a long and tiresome path which you and your dear & near ones both have to walk on. for that is COMPATIBILITY in it's true & genuien form,which needs no explanation or convincing.

Well the 'science department' and EVERYTHING request is a bit much for a forum, perhaps you could re-ask your question and narrow the field a bit AND put it in the proper category?  Just a suggestion :)

You can't.\n\nIt's all just psuedoscientific nonsense designed to get money out of suckers too ignorant to separte science from bullshit.\n\nHow can anyone be so gullible and superstitious as to believe in this voodoo in 2006?

Can you use electronics at all...or just not Powerpoint, because I'm sure other people will probably use music/video clips and pictures. People today need massive visual stimulation. \n\nMaybe use humorous "illustrations" of your points by using clips from popular songs, t.v. shows, and movies. Make sure that most people would get the reference. \n\nIf you can't use electronic stuff... I did I speech once about Hillary Clinton's life, where I pulled "random" people from the audience (ok, i admit i had told the first 2 people about it before the speech to help along volunteers) and told them they were going to statues of points in Hillary Clinton's life. I told them that I would do the positioning of their hands and stuff... not telling them or the audience what exact position or its relevance to my speech until I got finished. The first person I put in fetal position, the second I had like they were thowing a bridal bouquet over their shoulder, ... and so on. I had the statues stay there in a line, in position, while I proceeded to the next, so that my conclusion would be easy to do.. just point to the statues to demonstrate your points. You could utilize a similiar idea for "me outside the office" by posing people in the activities you do outside of work.

It is a science project

Let's look at an example:\n\nPeople needed to count so they invented numbers. Then they invented mathematics to study and use numbers. One of the use was making calculation. At some point they wanted to do this fasterr and they invented a machine to do it for them. But the machines weren't fast enough so they invented transistors and integrated circuits to make them faste. Then they realized that these machines could be used for communicating and they joined them in a network. Then some guys thought that there would be a nice thing if people could ask other people any question so they created Yahoo answers. So now at least two people (you and me) instead of (i don't know for you and working for me) are asking questions about how science and technology affects our lives (for you) and I am answering them (for me).\n\nAnd there are so many ways.... that a live wouldn't be enough for me to tell just a small part of them.

See what they want to talk about, and ask them about that. But make sure you don't ask too personal questions.\n\nAsk challenging questions. Say something absurd or ridiculous (such as: "cows can fly") as if you really meant it, and wait for their reaction. You can also add a justification to your statement, that will be as ridiculous as the statement itself.\n\nMake them talk about what they know best. Don't tell them to do some research before the discussion: Propose discussion topics that will prompt them to do the research even if you didn't ask them to do it. A teacher in my country (Argentina) says that we make a mistake by asking them to solve questions they had never even thought about. We should first show them the problem, make them ask the questions, and help them find the answers. That way, it is their question, and they will probably not stop untill they have an answer for it.
