Question: what subjects involve science that we don't know did

Peter Burgess answered on 14 Nov 2015:

History was the first subject I thought of, but as Natalie says it’s perfectly possible to link science to almost anything.
I have a friend who teaches science who sometimes teaches her lessons in French, or Spanish. Science is universal across the world so it makes sense to teach science in other languages.

A few examples:
History – The industrial revolution is largely the story of the steam engine. The science that explains how steam engines work is called Thermodynamics. Strangely enough, we had steam engines long before we had the laws of thermodynamics so we knew steam engines worked, we just didn’t know how.
English literature – Writers like Mary Shelley, Philip Pullman and Kurt Vonnegut have all drawn on science in their books, often looking at the role of science in society in an interesting way.
Sport/PE – The use of analytics in sport is exploding right now. Sports like Baseball and Cricket have generated large amounts of data for a long time, but we are now seeing these statistics being used to improve performance in other sports. At the Rugby World Cup, we saw lots of the teams have a small lump in the back of their jerseys, this contains a small sensor measuring where players are, how much they are running around, how hard they have been tackled and so on. All top football teams use software called Prozone to analyse their play. There is a movement in Ice Hockey at the moment toward using what they call ‘fancy stats’, essentially this means statistics except basic scoring which have been shown to have a measurable effect on whether a team is likely to win games.
