Valerio, Aira S.L Iii Edu Earth Science

This document discusses science and the scientific method. It defines science as systematic knowledge gained through observation and experimentation. It then lists five physical sciences: astronomy, earth science, geochemistry, meteorology, and natural sciences. The document goes on to define the scientific method as a method of research that involves identifying a problem, gathering relevant data, formulating a hypothesis, and empirically testing the hypothesis. Finally, it outlines the five steps of the scientific method as asking a question, conducting research, proposing a hypothesis, designing and performing an experiment, analyzing and recording data, and drawing a conclusion.
