Inductive and Deductive logic...

Inductive logic: An example of inductive logic is that all animals I have seen are dangerous therefore all animals are dangerous.

Deductive logic: An example of deductive logic is is the statement that everything that goes up must come down. Therefore, if you kick the ball up, it must come down.

The difference between the two is that generally inductive reasoning moves from specific to general and deductive reasoning; the opposite.

All animals I have ever seen (specific) > All animals (general)

Everything that goes up must come down (general) > If you kick the ball up it must come down (specific)

What surprises me about the way science has progressed?

I think that science has progressed as technology has advanced. The advancement of science has lead to people finding cures for those things that were thought to be incurable many years ago, for example vaccinations and different forms of disease treatment. Science has gone from being something of mystery and confusion to something that we rely on every day. It is trusted by the world and universally the same in every language. Science is something that people believe in, they trust the facts and figures proven by experiments. Science is all about a hypothesis which is proven or dis-proven by evidence which makes people trust it and look to science for the future. It changes and modernises with our rapidly changing society which makes it something that is identifiable with all age groups. People are more likely to trust somebody who has done an experiment, for example, to prove that leaves only float on water than if somebody was to say that God told them that leaves only float on water. It is a vastly expanding 'religion.'
