Having the Science skill will boost job performance in the Science and Medical careers. Sims with enough points in the skill will begin these careers at a higher level when accepting job offers.
Having the Science skill is also helpful when fishing, gardening, and collecting. Items that a scientific Sim acquires in these ways will have a chance to be higher quality. Samples can be gathered by analyzing minerals, plants, fish and insects. These samples can then be researched to gain even more scientific knowledge.
The Group Science Project activities are: Study the Red Pad Tie Node, Interface with the Green Mind Melder Module, and Adjust the Blue Magnatomic Pulse Array. These experiments gives sims various moodlets and abilities:

On lot is raining moneybags, gems, metals and spacerocks and sometimes magic gnomes. Note that the player doesn't need all three Sims at the same time to activate this. Have one Sim gradually fill a light to one third of the machine and repeat with the other two. This way, the player can achieve this state more easily.
The Science Research Station activities are: Research Science, Gene Splicing Experiment, Horticulture Experiment, Clone from Sample, Research Sample, Herb Experiment, and Radiation Experiment. Experiments may fail or succeed:
Analyze a total of 100 Plants, Fish, Insects, and Rocks to reduce the cool down time on Correlating Scientific Data.
